Today I Become Mended

07:30

I have just watched two Humvees from our group swerve off the road and crash as they attempted to avoid the incoming fire from the enemy. Galland is desperately trying to make contact to confirm if all is alive.

Right now, everything looks bleak as we are surrounded by more enemy than what we can handle. 

But as I look past Clark to the other side of the road, I can see a truck that has been crushed by one of the enemy's tanks. There I can sadly say, if they were not fast enough to get out and avoid enemy fire as well, then they are all gone. 

There seems by the radio that does come in and from what we can see between the chaos around us, only three remaining vehicles.

We are sitting ducks.

And this pond is far too big for us to navigate around in.

Is this how it is going to end for this small group of Marines?

Were we, in fact, too arrogant and too at ease when we set on this mission?
