I'm glad they fought but...how in the world do you withdraw from an objective without all your personnel?

Looked like it was a squad-sized patrol. We all know how difficult those are. RIP Soldier.Silverback wrote:I'm glad they fought but...how in the world do you withdraw from an objective without all your personnel?

I've been out too long, have been taking too much for granted, and lost track of what all my brothers have been, and are, experiencing. Thank you for posting this up Ranger and putting my life back into perspective. Time for me to make some long overdue changes.

Re: Afghanistan ambush slideshow with audio
It was hard to watch.
SB,
I was thinking the same thing. That set off an alarm for me. I won't armchair quarterback them though. If anything it is a good illustration of the need for PAX accountability no matter the size of the element; a sobering reminder to all of us who are leading men in combat of how something minor and routine can become deadly serious in a blink.

RIP Dewater........thanks to all the fighting men; they give the the right to challenge my governments actions. And the experience of the military has given me the chance to excel in every aspect of life that I put that experience to work.panthersix wrote:God bless our troops and DEATH to the enemy!
