6. Military unit?

Meme: I have seen many questionnaires but none including history. What a shame.. Status: OPEN

A side glance, meant to ensure the fucker is joking. Because he’s got to be right? Asking a fellow Navy Seal what his favorite military unit is….

        “T’feckin’ airforce.”

A pause that he lets sit for a long few seconds before he can’t hold it any more. Laughter rolling up and out of him from somewhere deep. That sounds like something stuck between crashing waves and muted thunder; though gentler than both of them combined. Fingers catching on the hem of his T-shirt to pull it up on one side, high enough to show he’d had the creed of the Navy Seals inked into his skin a long time ago along his side and ribs.

           “Oi’be bleedin’ blue d’rough an’ d’rough, El Paso.”

Never mind the fact the idea is a bit sad by itself. Because at one time his blood couldn’t have been greener. But that was a long time ago, before he’d been uprooted. Twice. Once from Ireland and a second time from his family. But right now isn’t the time for such melancholy notions, so instead he’s reaching into the cooler for another beer. Handing it off to his new friend as they sit on the edge of his apartment building’s roof; watching the sun go down over a city that never slept. Though he can’t help but rib as his laughter dies off.

            “Ye?”
