On the Assault: The Real-Life Weaponry of the Expendables 2 Page #3

---

Church told me what you said.

I'm combat proficient.

I don't need a babysitter.

- So... when do we leave?

- 05:
00.

Nice meeting you.

- She's into me.

- She hates you.

Watch this.

Um...

You know, if somethin' happens to her,

it's comin' back on us.

Did you ever think

to ask me for my opinion?

I told you 10 times before, I didn't have a choice,

unless you don't mind goin' to jail.

Yeah, well, Church intimidated you.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Oh, is that the woman

you can never fully trust callin' again?

You know,

I will stab you one day.

Hey, baby.

Yeah, course

I'm thinkin' about you.

What else is there to think about?

Hopeless.

Hey.

You were in the Army, right?

I can tell.

Yes, ma'am. Three years.

Last tour was Afghanistan,

Kunar Province.

- Didn't like it any more?

- Uhh... Long story.

- I would like to hear it.

- All right.

I, uh, I was trained as a sniper,

and an instructor, too,

but... I actually wanted to mix it up,

get in on the action.

Uh, this one time, we're stuck out

in this hell-hole valley.

About 30 Taliban opened up

from these houses in the hills above us.

And they got about eight of us

pinned down bad.

So I called in for artillery support.

But... "No way", says the captain.

Didn't wanna endanger the locals.

So we scattered. Some crawled to a ditch,

some... to the dry riverbed and the rest bailed, but...

We were still stuck in the kill zone.

And we battled for...

I don't know, three hours.

And finally, an Apache gunship chopper

showed up to provide air cover.

Scattered the Hadjis, but...

Smoke clears and four of my squad are dead

in the ditch and two in the riverbed.

Yeah, I was... mad and sick,

all dead for nothin'.

You know,

the most... screwed up thing of all...

is when I got back to base that night,

I found out that they had shot

this stray dog that I adopted.

Commander's orders to get rid

of all animals on the base.

I mean, you'd think we had enough damn

shootin' for one day, you know?

And, anyway,

I, uh, I figured it was time to move on.

I heard these guys were lookin'

for someone, and here I am.

You got that transponder?

- Yes. Apparently, 15 kilometers northwest.

- Okay.

Oh, hello, darlin'.

Hello, darlin'.

I'm a little busy. Can I...

Let's move.

We're in and outta here fast.

The sooner, the better.

- Billy the Kid.

- Yeah?

Today's your lucky day.

You get to take point.

My pleasure, sir.

Impressive.

Hold on.

- Remember when you could do that?

- No, do you?

I could blow 'im away

if I needed to.

Really? Look down.

Look down.

You see what I see? Short legs.

A thousand bucks you can't catch 'im.

Go on, Flash.

- I'm a little busy.
