 YUSIF,
CAPTAIN. An military officer in the middle eastern nation
of
Trucial Abysmia. Yusif was the commander of a small unit of soldiers
and
often clashed with the political officer assigned to his unit, Aman.
The
new Marxist government of the nation used political officers to make
certain
that the military followed the will of the party. Aman's power-hungry
overzealousness
often angered Yusif, a basically honorable man. The unit captured a
small
team of Joes: Dusty, Outback and new recruits Lightfoot and Mangler.
Aman
had Lightfoot beaten and tortured until he revealed the Joes' plans,
despite
Yusif's attempts to stop him. Aman left the Joes in the desert,
ordering
Yusif to kill them. Knowing that the execution of the Joes would be
wrong,
Yusif let them go, leaving them with one canteen of water. He also
warned
them not to try for their objective, a hidden cache of weapons. The
Joes,
of course, refused to just give up and destroyed the weapons cache.
Aman's
inept command allowed the Joes to escape after Mangler sacrificed
himself
to give the Joes time to get away. Aman told Yusif that "the
bureaucrats
at headquarters will have our heads over this." Yusif pointed out that
since Aman had accepted total responsibility for stopping the Joes,
only
he would be held responsible for the Joes' escape. Yusif's current
status
is unknown. (SM 13) |
