OPERATION CLYDESDALE

By: Gunther Karl Russbacher

It was a cold and wet Thanksgiving Day. The overnight temperatures had dipped to near record levels, as we gathered in the formal dining room to begin the special meal. I didn't think that there would be quite so many of us, as we began the process of finding our seats. As always, I sat at the head of the table, in one of the uncomfortable captains' chairs, all the while hoping that the somber meal would pass without incident from the children.

I glanced in the direction of my eldest son, who at the time was age eight, but like many of the children his age, going on sixteen. He was an innocent, living in a world that didn't necessarily consider children to be innocent.

Quickly, I stole a hurried glance to the man seated to my right. An expression of extreme pain crossed his brow, as he sank his eyes towards his dinner plate. None of the men in the room were able to meet each others eyes. It was a time of grief, abject sadness; a time for the tears we couldn't cry.

The cold anger of the men was evident throughout the strained meal. Everyone was merely going through the motions, picking at the food, which was placed in front of them. Three members of my Special Operations Group were dead. Two others had sustained such severe injuries, which would, in all likelihood, preclude them from further service with the Group. The civilian death toll, attributed to accidental and or stray rounds, for the entire operation stood at four. The actual ordered or condoned sanctions exceeded a verified body count of sixty-seven.

Although the operation was considered a raving success by Rudolph Guilliani, the United States Attorney for the District of New York, we felt betrayed by and through the revocation of the Executive Sanction which had fielded our unit, and given us clear and free hand to terminate, with prejudice, any and all persons associated with the targeted pedophile ring, both at home and abroad.

We were stopped short of that mark by the President of these United States, (Reagan). There was no reason for happiness that day on which all America celebrated as the day of Thanksgiving.

The historians were writing the year 1985. It had been a year of absolute turmoil. ...
