A Short Story.

"One of the Girls"

Leonard Bender was a big man. At six foot three inches tall and as burly as a grizzly bear, he pretty much had his way wherever he went. His stocky, tattoo-covered frame intimidated even the toughest of men, and even in basic training, the drill sergeants gave him a wide berth.

Bender joined the Army because he wanted to kill - without going to prison, that is. And in the little combat he would see, his reputation for ruthlessness and killing – in a conflict where those 'attributes' were desperately needed, quickly brought him to the rank of corporal.

But he was not satisfied. He looked to the distant Saetian Sector – the front-line region of the Galaxy that was the leading edge of the Alliance's sword, and he knew that was where he wanted to be. So he joined the Ground Troop Service – the Alliance's inter-species ground fighting force, comprised of soldiers from all the member worlds of the Interstellar Alliance. And he subsequently shipped out to that one place where he would find the two things he loved to abuse the most: the enemy...

And women.
