Karbala Page #2

- All their names end in - ov.

- How many ragheads on duty?

- About ten stayed.

Is it calm?

Calm?

Calm like in Karbala.

These Bulgarians are special ops.

They gave you commandos for body guards.

- We'll see you tomorrow in Lima.

- So long.

Not too long ago, I could

talk with you in Russian.

But, in the end, it doesn't matter.

Big Brothers code still stands.

Only the Brother has changed.

Officially, for 72 hours.

And unofficially?

Captain, Sir'? Some son

of fight downstairs.

Captain, he jumped Malehczuk and

started a brawl.

OK, enough.

Corporal Malericzuk, what happened?

Lieutenant Sobariski, to your duties.

And you go back to your cell.

Want them to lynch you?

Why me and not orderly Malericzuk?

The order to aid the wounded

was not for him?

Did anybody even ask him why he

did nothing then?

There was nothing we could do.

You want them to escort you by force?

Captain,

until I leave,

please allow me to do my duties

as per my contract.

Last night I saw the local

policemen run away.

That officer, that one, he saw it too.

You're going to need all hands.

Give me a chance, please.

Farid.

Waszczuk.

Escort the Private to Lima.

Great, its starting already.

Look at them.

What do we do?

Should we take them on? Orwhat?

- Drive slowly.

- They know they can f*** with us.

But until they start shooting,

all we can do is smile at them.

Keep going-

OK, get moving.

Enjoy Iraq, Private, you're getting

transferred to HQ in Babylon tomorrow.

Can't see

much from behind the walls there.

So there won't be many heroic tales

at dinner for you.

- One hero at home is plenty, huh?

- F***!

Guys come here because they

have mortgages.

Heroism...

F***ing 9l0W~

You're all f***ed up in the head.

I don't know what you're

talking about, Sergeant.

When you call Mother,

you tell her how your brother

looked out for you. F***ing loser.

You think that when we tell you this

is not a beach, we mean fashion?

Private Minta thinks so. Get up.

Show us your arms.

It's nice and even here.

In the field, you will tear up your arms.

Thafs why we wear BDUs, not t-shins.

Lieutenant, thafs enough.

Walk the positions

upstairs, l'll stay here.

Yes, Sir.

Get yourself fixed up.

What are they doing?

How do you like the Middle East, gentlemen?

There is a guy in the street behind

you with a boom box.

He's got our frequency

and is listening in at the checkpoints.

Go back a block, tum left, then

right and go around.

But be cool. No hurry.

Take him out discretely and

then haul ass to Juliet.

- But our orders are to go to Lima.

- You might not make it.

Juliet is in the city and the Yanks are

nearby so it's relatively calm.

Good luck.

Reverse slowly.

Clear!

Cover us. Let's go.

Tum this sh*t on, Roien!

Coyote 4, changeover in

15, whats your situation?

It's quiet, empty.

Whafs for dinner at Lima?

What? Learning Polish?

- Waszczuk, pick him up!

- I got him.

And where the f*** is he going?

Waszczuk! Get the f*** out of the way!

Jesus Mary, they ran Waszczuk over!

I'm going to f***ing kill you!

Get him in the truck!

Hold position!

F*** me! They blew up in the square!

Did you see that?

Waszczuk, f***ing look at me.

Look at me, you hear me?

Look at me.

Fox 06, this is Fox 5, are

we going to get them, over?

- Commander, awaiting orders.

- I think they got our guys.

Fox 6 to all units, keep it together,

do not open fire without orders.

- Fox 06, over.

- That's our truck I think

Sons of b*tches!

Fox 01, Fox 06, zero in on Waszczuk's

patrol on the Short Wave,

second Honker status, over!

This is Fox01, I copy.

Captain, you think its started?

Stay calm!

- Open fire?

- Do not open fire without orders!

We'll send our contact to the other side

to check the status of our missing.

D0 you think theyTe still alive?

You either make money on a soldier

or you use him as a living shield.

So either we negotiate their release or the

other side will bring them to you as shields.

Take care, Captain.

Keep your heads down!

Get down!

Sobahski!!!

Don't open fire without orders!

Fire!

Fire on the pickup!

Fire on the pickup!

RPG!

Come with me!

They're retreating!

- Fox 06, this is Fox 04.

- Fox 06, over.

They're pulling back. The square is clear.

I see that. Over.

No casualties.

At daybreak, the enemy retreated.

Enemy casualties?

Between a dozen and a few dozen killed.

Fox 06 thank you.

You will be relieved as ordered.

General...

Sir. We request to join the company.

Volunteer.

But you just got back.

You got lucky, it started after your shift.

Thafs why we are asking to go back.

Bylina,

Majcherek will join you with two men.

Hold City Hall for 48 hours.

If it takes longer, l'll

start negotiations.

And what, will you surrender City Hall?

I don't want this to cost us too much.

That is all.

SiOP-

Give me the map.

We'll go around the shitheads.

We'll go towards Bagdad, then turn

back to Karbala in AI-lskandariyah.

- This is RAT 06, Lima come in.

- This is base, over.

Approach by Al-Hiyadha is closed.

I am detouring via Al-lskandariyah.

Copy that. Checking.

- How many clicks will that be?

- Vthth the detour about 150.

Base to RAT 06, over.

RAT 06, over.

You won 't get through AI-Iskandariyah.

It was taken by As-Sadr militants

this morning. Karbala is cut off.

Desert RAT, this is FOX 01, come in.

FOX 06, local barricades,

impassable, attitude is hostile,

It cut off.

Seawolf, this is FOX 01, come in.

Commander, the negotiators are arriving.

Keep calm. Watch your sectors.

He's calling the ones in the cage hostages.

Keep calm!

- F***! They got one of ours.

- What do we do?

Show the hostage!

Show the hostage! We'll negotiate!

This is FOX 06, Lucki, report.

You got the Yanks' radio data on the SW?

Unfortunately not. SW interference.

Scan the frequencies, try to raise them.

Until you get through.

You did not have to come here with that,

we are in mourning.

Those are the times when many homes

in Karbala will be in mourning.

Dina, serve the meal'

You don't have to, thank you.

The city's been brought under control, but

the infidels are holding on in City Hall.

Let them withdraw and you will get

City Hall in your hands.

You don't understand. We must seize

City Hall together with the defenders

and punish them as an example

Therefore I am talking to you.

You should get them

and help our people free themselves.

To that defended fortress?

Wonder how?

Don't wonder, find some way.
