Here is a conversation/AAR I had with a good friend that is deployed. I omitted his name for obvious reasons. Learn from it what you will, especially anyone that is reading this from Afghanistan.
Notice you didn't hear about this on the news.
To everyone deployed. Be careful, and keep your head down.
I killed some bad guys the other day. A little of both small arms and death from above. It was a bad day. An Ambush. We had some casualties
It was a little more coordinated than usual. They hit us in 2 spots, simultaneously. ****ers are getting ballsy. After we engaged them with some Apaches’ with 30 mm and a hell fire they kept on so we dropped a 500 pounder from a B1 and they still kept on
They shot up our Apache pretty good and made them lose comms. We were walking along a road towards the back of the patrol, just 4 of us, when some dude decided to start to light up one of our MRAPs with PKM fire. So we ran back and as we were running an RPG goes flying and bounced off one of the MRAP, lands on the ground and is on fire.
While this is happening some ****er jumps out from behind a wall and starts to shoot at us with an AK, about 30 meters away. We had a SAW with us and 3 M4s so we lit into him
These dudes are getting ballsy for some reason; first time we had seen that. We took 10 casualties. We got into contact 6 times just trying to make it out of that ****ing village
It was crazy. I’ve never seen the enemy act like that before. Normally when the HELOs check in they run away. But these dudes stayed and fought. Christ, the pilots were afraid. They even told us over the radio. I guess i would be too if I were getting a 50. cal shot at me in the sky. This went on for about an hour.
One dude had an RPG hit a berm right on the other side from where he was taking cover. Hit by his head. Rattled him pretty good. It was the worst day for a lot of dudes this deployment. I have no idea how many dead bad guys there were. We blew up a tower and they found pieces
To tell the truth, I don’t know why they broke contact. They will just stop, and it’s over
**** COIN! The ROE hasn’t changed at all. So much that goes on that you won’t hear bout. I even have video of a guy ****ing a goat taken with NV
I am off to the gym. I will be back later.
