the man turns around, looks at me, and lunges. With a
swift turnaround
I pull my kaybar out
and stick
him in the heart.. Still the vision of
the children
are stuck in my head while gunfire and yelling
screaming coming from
everywhere.. I jumped through the window and droppedrunning
running a
mindless man.. War is not about children as the vision
of the dead children burned into my
every
waking hour "Why Couldn't I have been
there 1 minute earlier".………….
Your Mom tried for years to put up with me but she couldn't handle
the screaming and bouts
of
depression
that would last for days. So she left me.. I
drifted from town to town until I was committed
to the
Mental Ward inPhoenix. Since being released 6 months ago, I started
going to a rock bar stuck
back in the
corner of a little strip mall called "The
Steelhorse." That I had heard about from my
seal
brothers
at
Seal School..They said if you really want to rock "The Steelhorse" is
the place to be.You
know that last
thing I wanted was any
more trouble. There I met DUMB ARMY RANGER PALUCA..
There I was
sitting, quietly enjoying some
good old fashion ROCK HARD Rock.. The waitress
smiling made me
feelgood ..
everybody is having a good time.., I see some dudes with cue
sticks
standing
grunting and I can tell they are ex-seals themselves. Well apparently, this is also a hangout
Ex
military
for including Army Rangers.. Some how these ex-military made
some kind of truce with each
other… Most of all
the Seals seem
to drive Hogs and the Rangers drive Indians….. GO feger…
Also
the long hairs
and rednecks seem to hang here.. No problems!!! The babes are
more beautiful than you
can imagine..
When you grow older you'll understand… ..
Joe the owner seems to be a mellow dude he
just wants to
run a Cool Rock Venue.. More power to Him… Here I am
sitting drinking a Draft
Budweiser my
first one since I was released. I'm enjoying
every sip.. This guy
asks if he can sit next to
me.. like
there are no more empty tables
anywhere.. I grunt he sits next to me… He looks at me, I can
tell he's
measuring me up.. I ignore him and continue sipping
my Bud.. He orders a Coors.. I look
around and a
couple of more guys are also drinking
Coors.. Me I'm in my own little world enjoying
some
Rock…
He ask 'How y ou doing
bud"… I look at him "Ok man. just being Mellow"..
He
continues
talking… Me, I just want to
veg and enjoy the moment.. No troubles
today.. I finish my
Bud
and tell the
dude later man…I gohome and start
my work out routine.. I have gotten to soft..
Who knows where I
might end up… So, the wall is now my Friend.. The next night I go
back to
"The
Steelhorse" while I'm sitting and an old Seal team member I knew 15 years
ago shows up.. He's
all decked out
in his leathers , " Harley Davidsonand Levi's "
splattered everywhere on this Boy's
body… Buddha we
called him because he would always
be meditating…. Buddha looks at me and
looks like he
knows me… I
tilt my head … grin half my teeth are bad.
all those meds and a lack of
dental care…
ate away at
them… He takes another look at me and
starts laughing… he remembers
me.. I'm the
one that was always pulling pranks on the
other team members.. you know life is too short
to live
serious all the time.. He starts chattering about theone time it
was my turn to be on the Radio.
Having
recently gone thru the machine gun in your face routine
while lack
of sleep for 4 days.. we all
seemed to
have lost track of time.. I knew it was my turnto handle the
Radio and it was going to be
Sunday the next day. A
day of rest.. Normally we would get are
running orders
thru the Radio..I had
made
arrangements with the Bernice to
make a prank radiocall.. at 5 that morning.. We didn't
crash until 3 the
morning…
"Seal Team.. This is a Red-Alert..comes
across the Radio… Red-
Alert… Everybody
scrambles from there sleeping holes half
naked..They look at each other and
remember that
the alerts were Yellow or green not red.. They all stop andlook at me..
Like I had
anything to do
with it… I
grin..
Buddha Comes over and grabs me and sees
thatI'm not the same man
knew… He says
I heard that you crossed that line… I'm
glad you're here.. You'reamong friends
here
no judgments… .. We start shooting
a game of pool and lo and behold the dudefrom last night is
there
again.. The
Dumb Army Ranger Paluca decked out in his Indian
and
Wranglersoutfit, he comes over
looks at me at
says what's up.. I look at him and acknowledge he's there
tiltingmy head.. and
continue
shooting. He ask me where
you from. I say down from the canyon..
and continue shooting.. He gets a
little bit
closer, Buddha stops him and says man give the dude someroom to
shoot... Dumb Army
Ranger Paluca stops
stares at me.. and walks away with his Coors. in his
hand.. Hard
rock is going full
blast,, the
place is getting filled up..
Everything is grovesville... Acouple of
babes come over and
start talking with
Buddha and me.. What a nice change, this time last month
I
would be in line waiting
for my
meds..
I'm starting to get my old self back..
The child the grewup down at the Supai
Village-
Bottom of
Grand Canyon.. My mother married a Supai man.. I grew
updown away from a real world.
She didn't let
them ship me away to boarding school.. She Home schooled me.. I
learned all about the
way of the
Indian.... One day at my aunt's
house in Kingman I waswatching the tube and saw a
Navy Commercial..
from that day forward that's all I ever wanted to be....
A Navy Seal.. So, I made a
workout
outfit.. I started getting ready for SEAL
TRAINING.. I still have thatoutfit. I have
to remember
my
warrior roots again.. For you 2 boys... Just keeping on
watching.....That night I'm having one the
most relaxed
enjoyable times I have had in almost 5 years… This girlMary starts
talking with me man
she was so
beautiful, she say's "I haven't seen you here before, whereyour from"..Not
being around
women for such
a long time. I stop look in her eyes and see
thetenderness of a women.. I say to her
"I've been
a drifter and I heard about this place from some
buddiesof mine".. they call me
Ahbleza you
can call me
"Robert". Well "Robert it is nice to know you"
and shecomes up to me and kisses me on
the cheek
tenderly. As soon as her lips part The Dumb ARMY RangerPaluca is
standing there. "What
the FUCCCC are
you doing with my women BOY!" the bar gets quiet the music
stops for almost 5
minutes nobody
says a word. everybody turns around and
looks at ME!Mary turns around and slaps that
Dumb
Army Ranger Paluca. She yells at him, "You remember
youdumped me for that big
boobed
bimbo Janet 3
months ago you asshole I'm not your women anymore". He stands
there ignoring her
looks at me
and says "If you ever touch my women again fool, I'll buryyou". I raise
my head and
look directly in
his eyes and say "I don't know you, But I have heard that in order to be
accepted in this
bar your
allowed to challenge any fool that might
what to tangle with you,they call it
the
"Truce
Challenge" Whoever losses no longer is allowed to come here"
Apparentlythat's howwith all
the testosterone walking in the door at "The
Steelhorse" that's how the EX Seals and EX
Rangers, and
all the rest
of Cavemen get along. They made up a TRUCE
CHALLENGE I have no IDEA what I
just gotten myself
into. If both guys survive the challenges then
it is settled with bare knuckle fist
fight. There hasn't been
a Truce Challenge for atleast a year
in all the Truce Challenges nobody
has ever made it
to Bare Knuckle Fight. Were standingface to face
we can smell each other's nose
air.. the bar
is still quiet.. Mary says to him.. "Jimbob
leavehim alone can't you tell he's not up to
the challenges he
has no idea what those Truce Challenges are." Now I
know this DUMB ARMY
RANGER
Paluca's name. Jimbob looks at me he's not sure because
ifhe backs down.. then were both
allowed here
and no more trouble… or maybe he's remembering thelast truce
challenge were
both guys ended up
pretty damaged..
Everybody is looking at Jimbob and you can see sweat
oozing
from his face…
Jimbob says "What's your name faggot!" I
ignore Him. again, hesays, "What's your
name queer
boy" again, I ignore him. Mary says "Either accept the challenge or
shutthe hell up and
go
away" .. There is no
after the bar closes and gang up on Seals and Ranger because
theboth groups have a
code of Honor
and whoever violates it gets
ponded bad by both groups and is banned from the bar..
Jimbob looks
at me and says, "I'll accept your challenge PUNK" and turns
around and walks away.. The
music starts
and bar starts buzzing with noise again. Mary looks at
me and says, "doyou know what you
just did" I
say "Na but it can't be worse that what I just went thru the
Past 5 years."Each challenge is 3
days apart..
If the there is, be bar knuckle fight it will be the
in Parking lot at"The Steelhorse"
The Truce
Challenge is ON.. The game has begun..
The next
day.. Me and RangerPaluca
Meet….. Where told you have 21days to prepare..You're

laughing too….. I say "See ya in 3 days"…
Again,
I'm

On back of Buddha's HOG….. I'm thrown down
into a hole as dirt is dumped on top
of me…I feel
the pressure.. I'm breathing through a mask. everything is
so dark.. I hear the headset..It's
JimBOB..
Yelling at ME.. Yo, Seal DUDE.. What's your name.." I

prepare for
the walk. Both the 4th and

the parking lot.. the line is marked… Me and Jimbob
flip a coin to see who chooses 1st or
last… He wins the
coin toss.. He says fugliness before beauty..I say I

start
laughing…….. The crowd is silent.. nobody has ever made it
to the walk.. there is no music no
noise.. I'm

"Stand tall, be proud do it the
ranger way"
see ya at the other side…The camera
stops…….. Mary who came into the room while I
was
recording this tape. comes up to me.. It's time to make
you look respectable… she says.. She goes
get's some
warm water. spreads a blanket on the floor. she starts with my beard.. cutting
as much as she
can with a
scissors.. then spreading shaving cream all over my face.. sitting
on my lap,
soft music is
playing.. this
may be our last time together… as she shaves me.. she speaks softly to me..
"Mr.
Ahbleza.. it
has been a wild ride knowing you…I love your twin boys..
I have something to tell you ..

be a father again it's going to be a girl …"
NO Mary. I say .. what if I don't make it back"..
"You'll

can I name the baby.."
JBLAZE.. after
their brothers names… John Joe and Enrique
Blaze".. "Jblaze… it is" she says.. as
he's
done shaving
me and now she starts cutting my hair… I guess I looked like a
Taliban…..There is a
moment of silence as she
cuts my hair…. I get up and start a slow dance
with her as
tears come down
my cheeks..
Nobody has ever loved me as much as Mary….. .. The camera starts rolling..
"Listen
boys.. You're going to
have a sister. her name is Jblaze.. Michael I guess you have
a little more
responsibility".. ..Back to the walk… I'm standing
ready to walk the line.. I tried to prepare for this..
but how can
you….
The crowd is quiet.. I look at the EX-Seals they all
acknowledge me by a a
clinched
fist.. and a slight tilt of the head.. Then I
look at the EX-Rangers and the same clinch fist and
tilt..They each get
one hit with a steel pole. Mary is at the other end.. looking at
