ATLANTA, GA — Prior-military paintball team "28th Paintfantry" has yet to win a single match against area teenagers according to sources at the paintball arena.

The team has cited many reasons, including a lack of viable air support and poor intelligence.

“Combat is all I know,” admitted retired Spc. Justin Rome, a former Army supply assistant. “The enemy just doesn’t realize that the way they’re winning is all wrong.”
