One month earlier
"We deserve to be apart of the decision making of this dammed country!"
This chant echoed through the streets as the people of the "free" world marched down the road to the capitol.National Guard and special ops were tasked with setting up a blockade around the White House and the Capitol Building, and that's what they did. HUMVEE's were set in a line in the roads, with soldiers behind the them mounting there M4's on the front of the vehicles as Riot officers were in front of the HUMVEE's fully strapped in body armor with shields and batons. Lastly the special ops teams were stationed on top of each building, equipped with M24's, keeping their sights on the citizens as they continued their march towards both buildings.
"SFG 10, has it going it over at the Capitol building?"
James asked over comms as he kept his attention on the road in front of the White House."It's fuckin crazy out here Jamie, we got about 23 friendlies in front of the crowd, level 3 vests packing rifles of various brands. How about you?"
"Well Sammy, I got about 17 to 18 friendlies all armored and packing rifles as well."
James answered as he then took a moment to take in a deep breath, then exhale slowly.
"Just another day of work Sammy, not different from past few months of this job, tomorrow will probably be the same shit tomorrow buddy.""This is fucked Jamie, we're pointing rifles at the people we signed up to protect, this is fucked on so many levels and you know what."
"Yeah I know Sam, but it's the job it's orders, the people wanna take action against the world, the world that's on the brink of a Third World War. We let them call the shots, the world is be hell on earth, do you want that Sammy?"
It went silent on Sams end as the mob of people got closer. The silence was finally broken when Sam let out a huge sigh.
"Fuck no, I don't want that but shit man, I'm afraid one day I will be looking through this scope, and I'll have my sights on someone I care about man...you ever think about that possibility?""Fuck no, cause the people I love aren't the political type."
James said as he laughed a little, knowing full well people would get hurt today, but he knows that's just part of the job.
"Only go for lethal shots if absolutely necessary, SFG 5 out."
And with that, James had ended his check-in with the Capitol building."How we looking over on the right side of the building Tyler?"
James asked as he turned his attention behind him to the rest of his team."Looking good, nothing too extreme going on, not the shit hole that's going on in front I can tell you that."
Tyler answered as he adjusted his hat, keeping the sun out of eyes so he could focus."Good. Steve, konner, hows it looking on your guys end?"
"All good."
The both answered at the same time as they kept their attention on their posts.Just then the latch to the roof flew open, followed by gunnery sergeant Castle climbing up onto the roof.
"You four need to come with me now, we're needed in the control room, something urgent has come up."The four men got up immediately and followed the sergeant down the latch, into the White House, and into the elevator leading down to the War room. When the doors opened it was absolute chaos, people running all around the place with paperwork and other things. The five of them walked over to the other high government and military officials sat at a table arguing.
"Good, you're here, now we start. There's a new problem that has arisen-"
"Mr. President Sir, sorry to interrupt you but we have a job currently...have you seen what's going up above ground? It's a shit storm out there."
"I understand it's a mess up there lieutenant Crysel, but something far worse needs your attention. Some of those people out there have sent their own over to the UK, to force our hands into joining the war in Europe by blowing up the Capitol of Britain. We need to stop this before it happens. This operation is called Casket, cause if this goes south, we're all gonna be in a caskets of our own."
The president said with a very stern tone as he took his glasses off and rested them on the table before turning his attention back to the five men.
"Your team is being sent to apprehend these terrorists before they can accomplish their goal, am I understood?""Sir yes Sir!"
All five men answered as they stood at attention. The president stood from his chair and walked over to the five men, looking at them all."This is vital if we wanna stay out of this war, we are counting on you...I'm counting on you to make sure this is taken care of, Godspeed with you fine men, now go get what you need, you'll be in Britain in twelve hours."
And with that, the men ran to the armory to equip themselves with all the weapons, gadgets, ammo, and armor they needed.
