ABOUT BILLY'S PAST
MARINE CORPS SHAKEN! A DARK DAY IN AFRICA
Dark rumors have rocked Dannell Base, a Marine Corps base in the midwest.
They were sparked when the United Nations pointed out the illegality in the "African Mainland Guerrilla Sweep Operation."
The NPO revealed the shocking truth――that 23 "armed soldiers" who were successfully killed turned out to be "unarmed locals."
The military was forced to retract and revise their original statement, swiftly antagonizing international public opinion.
An investigation committee, organized in a fevered haste, launched an internal military investigation, but---
the conclusion derived from the confusion has shocked us further.
Their truth of the incident---
"One of the Marines fell into an extreme state during the operation, lost his faculty for reason and accidentally killed the inhabitants"... that's what they announced.
They said that the Marine faces a court-martial after undergoing a psychiatric evaluation.
All information on the relevant soldier has been sealed.
This closed nature enflamed criticism from the press.
Isn't there any managerial responsibility for an unprecedented scandal in which a single soldier massacred 23 people?
Moreover, does such an insane Marine truly exist?
This isn't the first time the military has claimed ignorance, although it is so opportunistic that it reveals a cover-up.
If they don't take a sincere attitude and disclose what they believe here, the military will be unable to restore the people's trust and these dark rumors will never go away.
Above all, the soldier's bereaved family is not convinced.
Dunnell Base continues to reject an interview, and even today the soldiers bust their chops, training indifferently inside the fences.
Where is America's justice?
We only want to make sure that our knights have integrity.

ビリーの過去について
海兵隊震撼！アフリカの黒い一日
中西部の海兵隊拠点、ダネル基地が黒い噂に揺れ動いている。
発端は、国連からも違法性が指摘された「アフリカ内地・ゲリラ掃討作戦」である。
NPOにより、衝撃の事実――首尾よく倒された23人の「武装した兵士」が、実は「非武装の現地住民」であった事
――が明らかになったのだ。
軍は当初の発表を撤回・修正するはめになり、一気に国際世論を敵に回すことになった。
大慌てで組織された調査委員会が軍の内部調査に着手したが、
混乱の中から導かれた結末は、我々をさらに驚かせた。
彼らは事件の真相を、
「海兵隊員の一人が、作戦時に極限状態に陥り、判断力を失って住民を誤って殺害した」…と発表。
海兵隊員は精神鑑定のうえに軍法会議にかけられるという。
該当隊員の情報は、一切が非公開とされた。
この閉鎖性がマスコミの批判に油を注いだ。
一人の隊員が23人を虐殺する前代未聞の不祥事に、管理責任はないのか？
またそんな狂気の海兵隊員が本当に実在するのか？
軍が閉鎖的なのは今にはじまった事ではないが、あまりのご都合主義に、隠蔽工作が見え隠れする。
ここで信じるに値する情報を開示し、誠実な態度を取らなければ、軍は国民からの信頼を取り戻せず、黒い噂が消えることはないであろう。
なによりも、兵士の遺族らが納得すまい。
ダネル基地は取材拒否を続け、今日もフェンスの中で兵士らが淡々と訓練に精を出す。
アメリカの正義はどこにあるのか？
我々はただ、騎士たちが清廉であることを確認したいだけなのだ。

MEMO ABOUT BILLY'S PAST
Tragedy rocks the U.S. Marine Corps!
A dark day in Africa.
Rumors surround Dunell Marine Base, situated in the American Heartland.
These rumors were sparked by the U.N. condemnation of the Guerilla Cleanup Operation in Africa.
The NPO has disclosed that the execution of 23 alleged soldiers was actually the slaughter of 23 innocent local inhabitants.
The military has retracted their initial statements about the operation and the world is in an uproar over their involvement in the affair.
An investigative committee has been quickly assembled to look into the incident, and the results of the inquiry are disturbing.
They have announced that the truth of the matter is that "one marine panicked under the extreme conditions and unintentionally killed the civilians."
This marine is said to be currently being held under close medical supervision and will receive just punishment in full accordance with the law. Details on the individual remain undisclosed at this time.
The military's reluctance to disclose information has only fueled media claims of a cover-up.
Should the top brass be allowed to shirk responsibility for a soldier in their command massacring 23 innocent people? Does this cold-blooded killing machine of a marine even exist? This would not be the first time the military kept information on an operation quiet, but the emergence of a single soldier to blame seems all too convenient and reeks of conspiracy.
If they do not disclose the full truth behind the incident, there is no foundation for regaining the trust of the citizens they are supposed to protect.
The military will not be able to escape the suspicions of the people, nor of the family of the soldier implicated in this sad affair.
Dunell Marine Base continues to deny media access to the facility, while soldiers continue their drills as if nothing has happened. Where is the justice? Is this what our America has become?
We all want to believe that our brave, shining knights in the US military have our best interests at heart, so we can only hope and wait for an appropriate response to the public's outrage.
