In
fact
,
Rita
s
unit
turned
out
to
be
a
squad
full
of
battle
-
hardened
vets
.
If
you
melted
down
all
the
medals
earned
in
that
squad
,
you
could
have
made
one
hell
of
an
Olympic
-
class
weightlifting
barbell
.
The
squad
was
full
of
badasses
who
had
been
through
Hell
and
back
so
many
times
they
were
on
a
first
name
basis
with
the
Devil
.
When
shit
started
flying
,
they
started
telling
jokes
.
Not
the
kind
of
jokes
you
told
your
mother
over
dinner
,
either
.
Contrary
to
their
reputation
,
however
,
there
were
some
good
guys
in
the
bunch
.
Rita
took
to
her
new
comrades
immediately
.
A
first
lieutenant
by
the
name
of
Arthur
Hendricks
held
the
squad
together
.
He
had
gleaming
blond
hair
,
piercing
blue
eyes
,
and
a
beautiful
wife
so
delicate
you
had
to
be
careful
not
to
break
her
when
giving
her
a
hug
.
No
matter
how
minor
the
operation
,
Hendricks
would
always
give
his
wife
a
call
beforehand
,
for
which
he
was
constantly
derided
by
the
rest
of
the
squad
.

In
a
squad
where
everyone
,
men
and
women
both
,
used
language
that
would
have
sent
a
nun
into
cardiac
arrest
,
Hendricks
was
the
only
man
who
never
uttered
a
single
profanity
.
At
first
he
treated
Rita
like
a
little
sister
,
much
to
her
consternation
.
She
d
never
admit
it
,
but
she
grew
to
like
it
.
Rita
had
been
in
the
squad
for
about
half
a
year
when
she
became
trapped
in
the
time
loop
that
had
dictated
the
rhythm
of
her
life
ever
since
.
The
battle
that
would
turn
Rita
Vrataski
into
the
Valkyrie
was
a
special
operation
even
by
U
.
S
.
Special
Forces
standards
.
The
president
was
up
for
reelection
,
and
he
wanted
to
deliver
a
military
victory
to
secure
his
own
.
Over
the
objections
of
his
generals
and
the
media
,
he
poured
it
all
into
the
operation
,
every
tank
with
treads
,
every
attack
chopper
that
could
stay
airborne
,
and
over
ten
thousand
platoons
of
Jacketed
soldiers
.
Their
goal
:
to
regain
control
of
the
Florida
peninsula
.
It
was
the
most
dangerous
,
most
reckless
,
and
by
far
the
hardest
battle
Rita
had
ever
seen
.

Special
Forces
had
a
lot
of
four
-
letter
words
in
their
vocabulary
,
but
fear
wasn
t
one
of
them
.
Even
so
,
it
took
more
than
one
squad
to
turn
around
a
hopeless
war
against
a
superior
enemy
.
A
Jacket
granted
superhuman
strength
,
but
that
alone
didn
t
turn
people
into
superheroes
.
During
the
Second
World
War
,
Erich
Hartmann
had
shot
down
352
planes
on
the
Russian
Front
,
but
Germany
still
lost
the
war
.
If
the
brass
drafted
plans
that
called
for
the
impossible
,
the
mission
would
fail
,
simple
as
that
.
After
the
battle
,
derelict
Jackets
littered
the
Florida
peninsula
,
their
shattered
shells
serving
as
coffins
for
the
corpses
inside
.
Rita
Vrataski
had
somehow
managed
to
toe
the
piano
-
wire
-
thin
line
that
snaked
between
life
and
death
.
She
had
bent
her
pile
driver
before
losing
it
entirely
.
She
was
low
on
ammo
.
She
clutched
her
20mm
rifle
so
tightly
it
might
as
well
have
been
welded
to
her
hand
.
Fighting
back
the
urge
to
vomit
,
she
stripped
batteries
from
the
bodies
of
her
fallen
friends
.
She
cradled
her
rifle
in
her
arms
.
