Has anyone here read Fallen Angels, by Walter Dean Myer? It's a good book, and it's the inspiration for this RPG. Therefore, I thought it only appropriate that I should title the RPG Fallen Angels.
Anyway, you aren't just one person. You'll actually be playing as a whole squadron: a Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol team, or LRRP. The reason you get to play as a whole team of 4-6? People die. When one of the people in your team dies, they will be replaced by someone new, so there's not that much of a lasting effect, but don't get too attached to anybody. You are going to be playing as an American squad. First things first: you'll need a character sheet. These are just to keep track of your team. You'll want to start out with five of these.

Chip Hazard
Little Soldiers, Big Movie!
Rico and the Hardy Brothers head to the firing range. Jeff Hardy has the best accuracy score of the three, then Matt Hardy, then Rico.
Rambo goes to the gym, where he lifts some weights, runs the treadmill, does the obstacle course, etc. There are a few other people at the gym, but only a corporal arrives at the same time he does. The corporal is about as fast as Rambo on the obstacle course, gets beaten on the treadmill, and beats Rambo on the weights. "Hey," says the corporal. "You're pretty good. I need a sparring partner, and I've already beaten everybody else here. You wanna go a couple rounds?"
Chip heads to the mess hall to get some food and chat with the other soldiers. He grabs a tray and stands at the end of a very long line with a bunch of other soldiers waiting for their meal, before they can just sit down and eat. Another soldier, a short, tanned private first class in tropical worsted fatigues. "Hello, sir," the PFC says affably. "Helluva wait just to get some dog food, huh?"
Squad Members: Chip Hazard[Officer], Johnny Rico[Assault/Healthy], John Rambo[Commando/Healthy], Jeff Hardy[Sniper/Healthy], Matt Hardy[MG/Healthy].
Rambo "Well, good," the corporal says, nodding. Rambo and the corporal get some gloves and head into an octagon ring in the gym. The corporal stands in a martial arts stance and grins at Rambo from the other side of the ring. "I had a black belt in Krav Maga before I even joined up. Good luck, private, you're gonna need it."
Chip "Not much, sir," the Pfc. replies. "I've been here a few months myself. You've basically got two choices for breakfast, lunch, and dinner: take it, or leave it. Every day they serve spam-you can choose between regular, spicy, and hickory smoked-and dried vegetables accompanied by either water or powdered milk, whichever you prefer. On special days like birthdays, they'll make you something nice, but on the other 300 days of the year, you're stuck eating the same crap as everybody else. Not much has been happening, 'cept you guys just arrived. Hope you have better luck than your predecessors, that's for good and certain." You're nearing the front of the line and the chefs hand you the food. Like the PFC said, it's spam, dried vegetables, and water.
Squad Members: Chip Hazard[Officer], Johnny Rico[Assault/Healthy], John Rambo[Commando/Healthy], Jeff Hardy[Sniper/Healthy], Matt Hardy[MG/Healthy].
Rambo The corporal just nods and starts walking towards Rambo in a weird way. His feet keep shifting around. Anyway, the corporal reaches Rambo and throws a quick jab towards Rambo's nose, which Rambo blocks thanks to his hand to hand training. The corporal follows up with a rapid series of powerful fists, elbows, and palms. Rambo blocks some, but eats some as well.
Chip The chef slaps some of the "meat" that barely deserves the name down on Chip's tray, gives him a scoop of dried vegetables, then a cup of water. Chip sits down and the PFC follows, sitting down next to him with his tray. "So," the PFC says, mashing his vegetables into his spam with his spork and taking a big bite, "what do you do(MG, assault, etc)? Got your assignment yet?"
Squad Members: Chip Hazard[Officer], Johnny Rico[Assault/Healthy], John Rambo[Commando/Healthy], Jeff Hardy[Sniper/Healthy], Matt Hardy[MG/Healthy].
Rambo Rambo figures out the corporal's pattern, but after he lands a couple good punches, the corporal switches up and grabs Rambo's hand in a good hold. Next thing Rambo knows, he's on the ground with the corporal on top of him, raining fists and elbows.
Chip "Me? Oh, I'm an MG. My squad's already been out several times since I got here, but not much. We're getting shipped off to some place called...Hue? Hue, I think is how they pronounce it."
