General Francis X. Hummel I miss you so much. There's something I've gotta do, Barb. Something I couldn't do while you were here. I tried. You know I tried everything, and I still don't have their attention. Let's hope this elevates their thinking. But whatever happens...please don't think less of me. General Francis X. Hummel The Men of Marine Force Recon are selected to carry out illegal operations throughout the world. When they don't come home, and their families are told fairy tales about what happened to them and denied compensation. Well, I have choked on these lies my entire career! Well here and now, the lies stop! General Francis X. Hummel For Major Baxter and I, this is the last campaign dating back to Tet '68. Likewise for Captain Hendrix and Gunnery Sergeant Crisp, who cut their teeth under my command in Desert Storm. Captain Frye, Captain Darrow, this is my first operational situation with you and your men and I have to say thus far and your conduct here reflects your reputation.
