"fight" target
Posted: 18 Jun 2007, 05:20
Alright men, we've just received our orders from HQ. This isn't going to be easy, but nobody here is used to a free ride anyway. Companies Alpha and Bravo will proceed through the pass to the east, eventually converging with Companies Charlie and Dog which have just recently broken through the enemy's front lines. Meanwhile, our remaining forces will proceed to points Able, here, and Baker, here, eventually converging with Epsilon Specialist Company which has been under heavy artillery fire since 0800 hours yesterday. With our assistance, Epsilon will attempt a break through via the Raii Valley, currently undermanned if Intelligence can be believed. If the initial breakthrough attempt is repulsed, a second attempt will be made at 1850 hours. The second attempt cannot fail - we need Epsilon's assistance in the upcoming op.
All groups will then proceed to sector Kappa, where our primary target will be found.
What I'm about to tell you has been classified level Phi. The primary target of this operation is... apparently... this tuft of grass:

We're not sure what the grass did, but HQ is apparently mighty pissed with it. We've been ordered to "fight" it, by command. I have requisitioned weedwackers from our number three supply depot, but all indications are that they may not arrive in time for us to re-equip.
Honestly gentlemen, I'm not sure how precisely one is supposed to "fight" grass, but I've never questioned Command's decisions, and I'm not about to start now. We ship out at 0400. May God have mercy on us all.
... can we have something besides "fight"? How about, "occupy"? "assault? "advance"? "invade"? "charge"? We have lots of talented linguists here, judging by the amount of fiction written in the Off-Topic forum. Ask em for a better word. "Fight"? We're ordered to "fight" this location? My units are ill-equipped for combating dirt buildup.
