Good Kill Page #5

get some foreign tail.

It's better when we were deployed.

You know, there was war

and there was...

You know you're not to blame for that.

The kids.

Wrong place, wrong time.

It happens.

Well, it happens.

We all pulled the trigger

in that box, Tommy.

All of us.

Thank you for saying that, sir,

but we both know I pulled the trigger.

Well, you wanna know

how I think about it?

And here's how I think about it.

Just now, we didn't know

those kids were gonna show up.

But they knew. They knew for a fact

there were kids on those 767s

they flew into the Twin Towers.

They had to walk past those kids

to get into the cockpits.

Anyhow, I don't want you

getting gun shy on me.

Take the day off.

I think you get to use a little I&I.

Intoxication and intercourse.

Right.

Why do we wear our flight suits, sir?

What's this about, Drier?

- Drier!

- I'm not at liberty to say, sir.

It doesn't feel like a medal ceremony.

Sit down.

So word has come down from on high

that, for an unspecified

number of missions,

we are to serve another master.

Christians in Action.

The CIA.

- Thank you, sir.

- All right.

- We're taking orders from the CIA?

- Yeah, you're damn straight, Christie.

The CIA takes orders

from the administration,

and since we've sworn an oath to obey

that same administration,

and as much as it pains me

to take orders from a f***ing clerk,

yeah, we're taking orders from the CIA.

Now what I want you

to prepare yourselves for is,

the folks in Virginia

operate under a different set of ROEs.

They've progressed from what

they like to call a "personality strike",

where we know for sure

our target is a f***ing bad guy.

Now they come up with something

they call a "signature strike."

Now what that f***ing means is

it's a hit based

not on a suspicion of guilt,

but on a pattern of behavior.

So you may be called upon to fire at

any dumb shleb in Waziristan

who's carrying an AK-47,

even though we all know

that everyone and their mother

in Waziristan carries an AK-47.

What about their right to bear arms?

I got my own personal opinions

as to why there's been

an expansion of our mission,

which I should probably keep to myself.

But what the f***.

It's a lot easier to kill these people

than to capture them.

Well, it makes sense, sir. If we

capture them, we have to torture them.

Sorry, sir.

Well, there is the inconvenient matter

of GTMO.

But it's really about the cost

in "blood and treasure"

as those D.C. hypocrites,

who never pay in either, like to say.

They know that if we try to

capture them instead of kill them,

we risk getting killed

or captured ourselves.

And the public

is tired of watching coffins
