The Agnostic:- An Earlier Edition
This is another side of that man that I remembered after I shut down last night
Setting = Staging area in England. Unit is situated in Plt. sized tents which have the sides rolledup for ventilation. Warm evening so most guys are just in their shorts with no top on(This is important to the story).
THE AGNOSTIC who says there is no God is always talking about the Spiritual world and/or Spiritis(read that Ghosts)!!
Natually the guys are egging him on because this guy was WAAAAAY out there. The more he's fed the more he eats it up. Guys that never joined in are now feeding him all kinds of ghost stories.
Couple of my guys saunter out to the Lister Bag(drinking water supply) that the Supply Corp. has provided and we managed to get ice to get and keep the water cold. These two guys have gotten the camo stuff for your faces we were to use and have been standing with their hands in the ice water outside waiting for "THE MOMENT". It's a wonder they didn't get frostbite!!
The two guys sneak up behind the Agnostic and with blood curdling yells and their freezing hands jump out of the dark and onto him in the cot grabbing his neck and head. First of all he has an "ACCIDENT" on his cot and then proceeds to pass out.
One of our Medics comes barreling through and is screaming at us for what we did.
Do you stupids B**T**ds realize you could have given him a heart attack!! The Medic took him to the Medical tent and kept him there for two days he was so shaken.
I had to do some fast talking and tell the CO that because of the Camo Faces I didn't recognize the culprits. The "Humor" in those days was almost sadistic.
I really felt sorry for this man and his mind set but............
