‘He seems to have a problem with me, and is not shy about showing it.’
‘Yeah, but he’s like that with everyone, particularly non military. He’s wary of anyone joining our squad who is not from an army background, after the last one got himself killed, and nearly cost the company more lives.’
‘What happened?’
‘We could all see the lad wasn’t right, he had spent most of his childhood killing terrorists on his Playstation, we all knew what was going to happen. He was just too young, still a kid, seventeen I think. Anyway, Chris was convinced he was going to be OK, he tried to take him under his wing. But he didn’t listen to orders, thought he knew best, and got himself caught. Torriero tried to use him in a trap, but he warned us, and was executed for it.’
Torriero sounds like a ruthless bastard, like all the evil dictators wars are fought over. I asked Little D to tell me a little about the rest of the members of Blue and White Company, starting with Rhino, ‘He’s just about the strongest man I have ever met, both mentally and physically. He’s a machine, he never stops, never tires, he’s not fast but he’s gets the job done.’ Rhino sounds like your typical gentle giant, not a tall man, maybe five ten, but friendly. He sports a shaven head, and a large dark brown beard, his neck is like a tree trunk, in fact his arms and legs are too. I took a swig of my beer and continued, ‘What about Murphy?’ I haven’t even heard him speak.’
‘He’s a quiet lad, keeps himself to himself. Until he gets on the battlefield, where he’s an animal. His girlfriend was taken by Torriero’s men, and he just wants to kill as many of them as possible. He is the only soldier I know of, that actually volunteers for dangerous missions if it means he can kill more men, no one does that. Nobody really likes killing, taking a life, or being shot at and injured. He doesn’t care about his own safety, which is a worry, and he has to be managed correctly. But he’s an excellent soldier if you can control him, he would take a bullet for any of his comrades. But then any of them would, I think Rhino’s received injuries from protecting just about everyone he’s ever served with.’
‘What about you and your brother?’
‘The armies in our family, my dad and two of my uncles all served for the Forty Second Infantry Brigade, so we were pre destined. I always wanted to progress through the ranks, but Chris (Sergeant Davis) only joined because he didn’t know what else to do. He wanted to do the opposite to what our dad said at first, he ended up dropping out of so many university courses, it was a bit of a family joke, how many subjects he started and didn’t finish, mum and dad were a bit embarrassed.’
‘But he’s done
