1. Sherch? How does auto correct not fix that?

2. Who are the guys in the blue camo?

3. Damn, the Battalion Commander is out on patrol.

4. If you try to kill an M2 gunner and fail- it ain’t going to end well for you. Just a thought…

5. If you think the tactics are not good and badly executed maneuvering…you learn a lot during training, and when things then happen you just forget, shit happens. maybe first month or two on the tour.

   I once walked behind our m113 with everybody else in my group in training, and we got reprimanded for doing so because the vehicle will attract a lot of fire and attention. Walking behind a advancing vehicle is rarely a good idea, yet many armies do it in real time.

   You have to box from cover to cover toward the enemy until you can see him him, this would be through the houses and fences.

6. Iraqi hip fires lmg- “what the fuck?! Does he see something?”

   We all know the answer to that question
