RFAF 507th BOMBARDMENT SQUADRON:
SOMEWHERE OVER HADIN, 90KM FROM KOPURAUTH
The Radiatian B-52 Stratofortress cruised toward Kopurauth, in formation with a number of tactical bomber jets and fighter aircraft.
It was largest aircraft in the Squadron, the centrepiece as it were. It was slightly slower than the others, but it contained the largest payload - not just the bombs, but the presence of a Platoon from the RSEF 16th Company, 2nd Paratroop Battalion.
Corporal Jack Two-teeth marched up and down the fuselage in mad excitement.
Jack Two-teeth wasn't his real name of course. No one knew what his real name was. But in the various branches of the Radiatian military, he was something of a myth, a legend, a military folk hero.
"Ya know what my favourite part of this is, ladies?" He half-screamed to no one in particular. "It's knowing that down below us some foreigner is about to be turned into mincemeat! They walk and breathe now but soon... soooon....! Ahahahaha!!!"
Private Dyson Kerwar turned to his Sergeant, Leon Wendel. "Who is this guy? I thought the the RSEF was the best of the best."
Sergeant Wendel chuckled softly. "Oh, he's the best of the best alright. Seriously, you've never heard of Corporal Two-teeth?"
"Never!" Said the Private.
"Well, legend has it that Corporal Two-teeth was once a vagrant and a hobo on the streets of Exegrad City. One night he got drunk and got into a fight outside a bar.
"Apparently he single handedly fought off three units of the Metropolitan Police, even killing some with his bare hands. But when they finally did catch him, they didn't send him to jail... they signed him up for the RSEF."
At the other end of the aircraft, Corporal Two-teeth swung wildly around and marched right up to them. He grinned the grin that got him his name - indeed he only had two teeth.
He stared wildly in the direction of Private Kerwar, with his one good eye - while his glass eye stared off in another direction. One eye was green, and the other a faded blue, giving him the appearance of a demented clown.
"WHA'S YER NAME, PRIVATE!?" He screamed into Kerwar's face.
"Private Dyson Kerwar, sir!"
"PRIVATE DYSON KERWAR IS IT!? THEN WHY'S ALL I HEAR JUS' PRIVATE CONVERSATION!?"
Without warning his mood calmed. "Ya know, it's funny ain't it? Ya kill the wrong man and they say yer a murd'rer. But you kill the right person an' suddenly yer a war hero? How the fuck's that workin' I ask ya?"
The Corporal walked away again.
"20km away from Kopuraith!" They overheard the Captain saying.
"Seriously, that guy is insane!" Said the Private.
Sergeant Leon Wendel chucked again. "Private do you know anything about the Hadinians we're up against? They're more insane than he is! Takes one to know one, that's the plan."
"ALRIGHT LADIES, STRAIGHTEN UP!" Yelled Corporal Two-teeth.
The members of the Platoon all stood to attention.
"Now, we'd is gonna fly in to some place, I dunno what's it called, but we's here to kill some bad guys and save some good guys.
"Now, I gotta be honest with ya comrades. Ol' Mister Pressy-dent don't want us killing them civilians. Well I respectfully say SHOOT to the President! Cuz I am here for killin' an I'm sayin' this cuz I don't want none of ye gettin' in my way!"
"Sir, yes, sir!" Said the men, though Private Kerwar was hesitant.
"He's gonna kill civilians?" He asked.
"That's what he said." Said the Sergeant calmly.
"We can't let him do that!"
"Oh yes we can. Besides, he outranks all of us."
"That's no reason! We were ordered not to shoot at unarmed civilians and Nui-tans!"
Leon Wendel laughed. "You must be new around here, boy! Let me tell you things work in our platoon, for future reference:
"I've worked with the Corporal on many a time, and he is the best of the best... of the best. He's never let any of us down, and he's never been wrong about anything.
"What he says goes. They say there's a fine line between genius and insanity. Well, he may be insane... but on the battlefield he's a genius."

Over in the cockpit, the crew were preparing.
"Navigator to Captain, target in 10 km."
"Roger that, prepare for final bomb run checklist."
"Master safety switch on."
"Check."
"Bomb arming light one through four."
"Check."
"Manual override active?"
"Manual override active."
"Release first safety."
"Safety released."
"Release second safety."
"Second safety released."
"Bomb doors open...."
---
Further back, Corporal Two-teeth was literally screaming with excitement.
"THIS IS IT, LADIES! BANG BANG BOOM TIME! I WANT YA'LL IN POSITIONS! WE GOT A PRESENT FOR THEM!"
There was a rush as compartments opened and the payload was released over targets in Kopurauth. Far below, the explosions could be heard, as the other jets in the squadron unleashed their attacks on the town.
"HELL YEAH! HELL YEAH!" Screamed the Corporal. "BANG! BOOM! DIE YA STUPID SCUMBAGS! AHAHAHAHA!"
He turned to the rest of the Platoon.
"WHAT Y'ALL STARING AT? TIME TO GO YOU MORONS!"
And with that, Corporal Jack Two-teeth lauched himself out of the open door at the back and down into Kopurauth.
"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"
