The president wasn't too happy to see me because of something I did long ago but he got over his anger after a few minutes.

A few years ago he got into a little trouble with dealing drugs and he wanted me to take some guys out who were after him. I refused and told him that he's the president and he should be able to hire the FBI or something to protect him.

The meeting went on awhile without me and the other Marines. But after the president shook hands with the other members of the meeting he signaled the Marines over. "As you all know there has been major problem in the city and the police are untrained to handle the situation. We need all of you to go out and dispose of them without too many more buildings destroyed. All of you get that."

Everyone acknowledged with sures and whatever's except for Private Marsh who of course said sir yes sir. After a bit everyone dispersed into little groups with the Marines on one side of the room and the president and everyone else on the other side.

The president came over and shook my hand. "You don't seem sure you're ready for this. You don't have to if you don't want to." "To tell the truth I don't think I am either." The president smiled and patted my back. "You'll be fine just don't get shot in the leg again or anywhere else in that matter cause you don't wanna end up like Forest Gump." We both laughed at the thought of me being hit in the rear.
"Seriously though be careful out there and that's an order."

"Yes sir, I'll try, but if I do you are paying for my medical bill." I was serious and nothing can change that. The president nodded and shook my hand once more and walked away.
