Bedtime story for Infi

Once upon a time ...

The Marines and Special Forces were on a war games joint training exercise. A Marine battalion was told that their "enemy" was on the other side of a hill from them. Marine reconnaissance spotted a man standing on top of the hill. He was wearing a Green Beret, Rolex watch, star sapphire ring, and carrying a Randall knife. The battalion commander ordered that a platoon of Marines be sent to get him. As they charged up the hill the Green Beret disappeared down the other side. The Marines pursued up and over the hill until they too were out of sight.

The rest of the battalion's Marines then heard blood curdling screams and cries for reinforcements ... followed by total silence. Then a man appeared, standing on the top of the hill, wearing a Green Beret, Rolex watch, star sapphire ring and carrying a Randall knife that looked like it hadn't even left its sheath. He also wore a big grin.

The battalion commander ordered a company of Marines to go after the man. They charged up and over the hill as the man disappeared down the other side. Once again there were blood curdling screams, cries for reinforcements, and then total silence except that this time a lone Marine came crawling back down the hill ... as a man appeared, standing on top of the hill, wearing a green beret, Rolex watch, star sapphire ring, Randall knife, a big grin and motioning to the Marines, with his hand and arm, for more to come to him.

The lone returning Marine, unable to walk, was crawling back to his battalion when the remainder of the Marines found him at the base of the hill as they were coming to his rescue. He valiantly struggled to raise himself to his feet, came to the position of attention, and saluted his commanding officer saying "Sir, go back, save yourselves, it was a trick ... there's TWO of them!
