When Capt. Sinclair comes by, Caesar straitens his stance a bit. After he has had his say, Yes sir. Where can we find Lt. Matthews sir?

"News as it happens"

The Israeli pilots are shown being lynched on live television throughout the day by mobs of Iranian citizens screaming for blood.

Several major news stories break during the day. A British reporter conducting interviews at the American airbase learns of the frantic requests for clearance to fire and acquires the tapes from flight control personnel. Soon major British, American and Middle Eastern news outlets are playing the tapes.

Iran releases radar footage to Middle Eastern news sources showing the American fighters flanking the Israeli fighters and peeling off as the planes enter Iranian airspace. This maneuver is described as an “honor guard” of American fighters.

Throughout the Middle East crowds take to the streets demanding action. Throughout the Middle East and North African American embassies are attacked. Footage of American Marines firing into crowds attempting to crash through the gates of embassies run on all major news outlets throughout the day.
 

New Orders

Late Night, Wednesday, October 2010

Captain Fitzgerald stands before an assembly of soldiers, including the group.

Things don't seem to be calming down, so the CIC thinks we should be ready in case some folks get jumpy. We want some firepower on the border in addition to the electronic frontier.

You men are going to be that firepower.

We're outfitting every Bradley we can spare with TOWs to patrol the border. If some scattered elements of mad as hell locals or your friendly neighborhood terrorist cell attempts to come across the border, blow it the hell up.

If something more organized comes across, and intel seems to think that's a possibility, we're setting up rally points all along the Tigris so head for one of the main cities along the river: Mosul, Samarra, Baghdad or Al Basra.

Now go mount up.

Dismissed.
 

Bear helps the technicians load up the Bradley with gear, making certain he doubles the normal amount of drinking water they carry. "Ready to rock when you are, Sarge."
