Captain Donald George Magnus served with the 1st Armored Division, Abdul's Nightmare, but by 1998, he was living in a one room dive, drinking too much and had alienated his wife and family. He was thrown to his death from a fire escape by John Ray Fielding for the actions that had broken and haunted him since his service in the Gulf War. Don wouldn't talk about any of his service, not even with his brother Carl who at nine, he'd caught smoking dope. The pair cut their thumbs and made a blood oath to keep it secret, between the two of them, and they remained very close.
