This is real life as a soldier.
This is a long read, but an important one. For those who have never been in combat, this will read like a good novel. It's not. It's real life and an actual accounting of an actual event. For those of you who have no respect for the American soldier, if that remains your view after reading this, all I can say is, you need to find another country to live in. For those who have seen combat and been in a fire fight, it will bring an adrenaline rush and goose bumps.

Exciting story of the importance of teamwork when things get tight.
No one can fault the American fighting man.
They should proudly walk the streets at home in their Class A's instead of those raggedy ass camo fatigues.0 -

Once again the training, courage and fighting ability of our troops defeats a determined enemy. My hat goes off to ALL the troops there and especially to the Reaper team. 0 -
