WARNING ELEMENTS OF SUICIDE AND SA! VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED!
Ven's POV
The night was quiet when we made our way to the isolated village. The pencil pushers said we had actionable intel that it was a terror training camp. It looked almost normal, the shit they do to blend in.
???: Hey Vincent, what do you think? Any external security?
Ven: Not that I see Nico, but can't be too careful with these bastards. Nico and James cover the left flank, Sarah the right, Mike is with me.
As we slowly approach I start to get a uneasy feeling, 'Aren't there usually some kind of trap or alarm system? I don't even see patrols' My thoughts are interrupted when Mike grabs my shoulder.
Mike: Two by the fire, Males, no signs of being armed. what's the call?
Ven: Blades, I'll take left you get right.
we slowly approach the targets and quickly eliminate them when I suddenly here a door open and turn to see a man exiting one of the buildings.
???: Madha?! Qutila!!! (What the?! Murder!)
Ven: Damnit!
I quickly draw my side arm and shoot him in the head
Sarah: Tangos exiting building on your twelve Nico!
the sound and flash of gunfire fills the air, but something isn't right. I haven't heard any return fire except for a elderly man that was taken down quickly. soon the gunfire ceased, a few silhouettes were seen running in the distance.
James: Ven, you should see this.
I walk over and notice that none of the bodies were armed, and most were women and children. A feeling of dread settled over me, 'What the hell is going on here?'
Nico: Sir! We found the Store house!
The rest of us head to Nico while Sarah climbs onto one of the shelters to provide over watch of the area. When I enter I'm hit with a crushing realization, There were no weapons or stashed armor, just grain, bread, and a few dried meats.
Nico: Sir...
Ven:...
Mike: THOSE INTELLIGENCE MOTHERFUCKERS! THEY SAID IT WAS CONFIRMED!
Mike starts kicking up a fuss but I couldn't care less, I walked outside and my sight settled on a little girl who lay lifeless on the ground with a look of horror frozen on her face. I can see she was clutching onto something, I open her hands to a pendant shaped like The American flag, it opened up to show a picture of what I assumed must be her brother or Father. My stomach starts to turn but I keep it in, I can't afford emotions right now, I know the higher ups would want to clean the books on this one, we had to exfil and inform them of the error.
(4 Hours later)
When we arrived back at base the brass couldn't give less of a hit about what happened, a "Regrettable Incident" was all they would say. After the debrief I had everyone head back to the barracks to hit the showers and calm down. after they all left I headed to a fueler and gave myself a shower of my own, the gas smelled duller than usual, perhaps because I just didn't care any more. I took out a cigarette and my lighter.
Ven: 'Regrettable Incident' my ass... I know what I did... I Killed them...
Without anymore thought I flicked the lighter and was engulfed in flames, my screams echoed in the night air before I passed out, when I woke up I saw the familiar sight of the infirmary ward. 'These fuckers won't just let me die huh?' I look around and see my brothers and sister in arms around me, they looked like they didn't get any sleep. 'Great, I just became a bigger burden'
