The Vampire Army

The platoon had gone rogue, and the U.S. Army didn't want to know what they were doing out there in Afghanstan lest they be held accountable for the horror. Rumors abounded. Facts were rare. No one had come forward. Was that because they had been murdered to keep them from telling? No one knew a thing. Once the U.S. Vampire Army entered a new sector, all communication failed. No one got in. No one got out. Only silence prevailed. And that was good. No one needed to know. That was the best plan, because the higher ups wanted this army lost. It was good just to know they were out there creating havoc in the Afghani hinterlands.
