A part of me likes thinking that somewhere in the Middle East, an
American like Sam Fisher is prowling. Clear and present danger abound,
mind racing with a dozen different ways the next few seconds could play
out. A guard wanders close to his hiding place. Does he take them out
with a silenced bullet to the head? Show mercy and knock them out - or
simply let him walk by?
America’s security rides on these so-called patriot games, this man’s
ability to make the brutal choices correctly, and without remorse. For
this man, at this moment, there is no geneva convention, and are
politics as far away from his mind as Bradley Manning, a Quarterback for
one of those NFL football teams he doesn’t
have the time to care about. In a world of gray, his mission is as black
and white as it gets. This is about us vs. them, and he wouldn’t have
it any other way.
