Operation HUMP(2)

As Sgt was planning to run off to find the Lt., 4 planes went by, and 3 seconds later, a series of explosions went off, burning trees like a giant beautiful firework, and a few shockwaves hit Michael, and the smell... the smell of napalm going in his nose to his lungs. So Michael decided something, he loved it, the smell of napalm, he loved that gasoline smell. After that the shooting ceased. "WOOOHOO" a soldier exclaimed that caused a domino effect off cheering, "Hey, hey, that was pretty fun" Michael exclaimed loudly as if he didn't get shot at minutes ago.

"Alright, enough, count our casualties, we need to set up base" a Lieutenant said, a corporal walked towards the Lt. "40 and counting sir" he said, the Lt. nodded.

hours later,

"We got orders, set up night defensive positions and collect the dead, and wounded," Sgt. said "hey guys" Doc said "huh?" replied Cat, "Blondie is too wounded he's getting sent home, poor guy's gonna have to relearn how to walk with that damage.... if he's lucky enough to keep his legs" Doc announced "Damn," Michael said with a low voice. "That battle wasn't what i expected" Micheal said to everybody "well better expect more fighting without knowing much of what the hell is going on like we did today" Sgt. replied.

After everybody found their own places to sleep on, Michael sat down on the bed and asked Sgt. "When are we going back" he replied "How would i know, maybe when the Aussies and A Company did what they were supposed to do we'd be back to the airbase by tomorrow morning. and hell, he was right they were back tomorrow morning

this did not live up to my expectations, i will write more and then i'll re-write this.
