Patrol 2-2 Terrastralian Army Special Forces, 1976
During the Terrastralian Civil War, there was one group that the People's Army of Terrastralia feared above all others; the Terrastralian Army Special Forces.
(L-R) Lance Corporal Rogers. Although not as big a practical joker as Bung, Rogers - the 2IC (Second-in-Command) of Patrol 2-2 - has established himself as someone who keeps a cool head when the first odd angry shot flies out.
Trooper Bill. Since the death of Trooper Scott, the 21-year-old Bill has been saddled with the reputation of being the youngest in Patrol 2-2. Naive and unfamiliar to combat, operations in the Templeton Forest will test him like never before. Bill's got a girl back home, but the lack of any letters since he shipped out has him suspecting that he's already old news.
Corporal Harry. The old man, the leader of Patrol 2-2, whose leadership has already saved the men from several hairy encounters with the PAT. Before the army, Harry was a painter, with several of his works featured in exhibitions. But that, along with his ex-wife, was in a past life. His priorities now consist of doing what he can to keep his boys alive, and his ongoing feuds with the army cooks. By all accounts, he's quite good at getting a reaction from them.
Lance Corporal Bung. Formerly a native of Patrol 2-4, Bung is easily the biggest...Personality in the Company. A renowned prankster, Bung has recently suffered a painful loss with his girlfriend and mother being killed in a car accident. Although Bung was a few cards short of a full sanity deck before the accident, since then...Well, let's just say some soldiers are wondering when the housewarming party will be held at the madhouse...
Trooper Dawson. Known to his friends at Smoky, Dawson - the Patrol's radioman - is known and respected for his matter-of-fact opinions and input wherever it's needed. Dawson, by far receives the most mail of anyone in the Company, though Harry believes that he writes them to himself. Rumour has it, Dawson is quite popular with women back home, but nobody has yet found definitive proof. Perhaps he doesn't write letters to himself after all...
In a completely unrelated note, it's Anzac Day on the 25th, and I thought I'd do something related in the form of some soldiers inspired by the 1979 Australian film the Odd Angry Shot. Set during the Vietnam War, the film follows a Squadron of the Special Air Service Regiment (SASR) during their tour of Vietnam. It can best be summarised as 70% Aussie humour, 15% sadness and 15% combat. If you get the chance, check it out; it's a great watch!
