"They come from the end of the line, most of 'em. Small towns you never heard of: Pulaski, Tennessee. Brandon, Mississippi. Pork Bend, Utah. Wampum, Pennsylvania. Two years' high school's about it. Maybe if they're lucky, a job waiting for 'em back in a factory. But most of 'em got nothin'. They're poor. They're the unwanted. Yet they're fighting for our society and our freedom. It's weird, isn't it? At the bottom of the barrel, and they know it. Maybe that's why they call themselves 'grunts', cause a grunt can take it, can take anything."
It is 1971. The US involvement in Vietnam is going down, but the draft relentlessly continues. People from all over the nation are having a rifle shoved in their hand and being sent overseas. Anti-war protesters are numbering in the millions, and discipline is barely heard of amongst troops. And yet, they serve with a purpose, and some even find pride in their bonds of brotherhood. They fight for those next to them, and for those around them. They are willing to lay down their lives for each other. They are brothers, husbands, sons. They are soldiers
This RP will follow the tale of a squad of soldiers from the 7th Air Cavalry as they attempt to survive the most ignored and disliked war in US history. It will follow their triamphs and failures, and it will force everyone playing to think about their morals and who they are as a person. As such, I am politely asking for mature people only, so over 16. I will not request a post legnth, but I will require no one liners, and at least 3 to 4 sentences. This RP will be slightly controversial, but things such as racial slurs and sexism will not be tolerated. I would love to see some diversity in the squad, and I will accept ARVN characters as well.
