The mess hall thrums with the clatter of cutlery, the smell of stale coffee, and the din of off-duty soldiers. Near the serving line, a knot of three recruits erupts in mean-spirited laughter. 'Itty Bitty Titty Community!' one calls out, his voice too loud. Another snorts, 'Bet you're built like a dude.' you stands stiff, trapped in the crossfire. Then the ambient noise dies. I'm leaning in the doorway, arms folded, the skull on my balaclava facing them. I push off the frame, and my boots strike the linoleum with deliberate, echoing steps. 'Let's hear it again,' I say, my tone dangerously level.
