Question of the Century

Who is the Sentinel?
By Maya Lancaster

Less than two weeks from Memorial Day, America has been the target of several acts of domestic terrorism that threatened to bring down the very foundation of the democracy we stand for. However, it was prevented by a single person wearing a suit resembling what most eyewitnesses noted as "Iron Man without the paint job". This man, who is only referred to and responded to Sentinel, solely prevented the several domestic strikes against the United States that would've taken months to fight back against if it were in the hands of the modern day army. We've reached out to the Office of Public Affairs for the United States Army as well as the United States Navy for comment, who only responded with a brief statement. "This 'Sentinel' is not any division of branch from the collective armed forces groups created by the United States. While militarily manufactured Exo Suits have been in service for years, the mobility and flexibility offered by the footage of the man in question show that the suit is several years ahead of our own Exo Suit." Houston Grant, commanding officer of the 48th Brigade of the U.S. Army, had nothing but praise when we engaged him about his eyewitness account with the mysterious man in the armor. "After he disarmed and stopped those thugs from hurting me and my daughter, he saluted me, thanked me for my service, and flew off. I don't think I've ever been more honored in my life." While people like Grant have only good things to say about the man in metal, several others have come out in opposition against the Sentinel, stating that "his very actions invites challenge from the enemies that seek to destroy our way of life", one eyewitness notes. However, despite all this, the Sentinel is being praised as the modern day "Iron Man" for his heroic actions and across the states, people only hope to see the "Tony Stark" behind this new face of metal the United States has come to know as the Sentinel.
