We landed to fight.

As we walked into the village, my tent-mate Chazray Clark stepped on an IED in front of me. Blew off both legs and an arm. That we waited an HOUR for medevac led to major investigation. Chazray died.

We continued mission and got into numerous firefights over next couple days. Running low on ammo, QRF drop speedballs at night. Speedballs are bodybags filled with all sorts of supplies such as ammo, medical, water, chow. Speedballs are labeled so the commander can radio back which speedball-bodybags to drop off. Some Soldiers use body bags as sleeping bags to lighten the load. Burning through ammo in the firefights, we all were concerned resupply would be shot down.

Things went quiet then loud, quiet then loud for next couple days. BOOM…another bomb shredded an ANA soldier just nearby. The area was so hot that the unit just bagged up his parts and carried him out instead of risking Black Hawk Down scenario.

I saw so many MEDEVAC/CASEVAC and QRF over those four years that even I cannot remember them all. This was normal.

“Israel” is lying about 07 October attack............more......
