Re: 30 years ago today... Operation Urgent Fury
October 26, 1983 Afternoon As A Company moved past the burning buildings and dead bodies, ammunition cooked off like popcorn popping. As they passed by the Cuban bodies the paratroopers shot them several times to make sure they were dead. Due to this every body had multiple wounds. Inside the buildi...

Re: 30 years ago today... Operation Urgent Fury
October 26th Morning… Our Battalion commander, “Mad Jack” Hamilton decided to attack the compound in the morning. This was the days before night vision devices for every man, so we didn’t own the night like we do now. B Company was to attack the Cuban compound, while my company… A Company… was to at...

Re: 30 years ago today... Operation Urgent Fury
Last night I went to the memorial at ST George University. Talked to the brothers of Mark Yamane. I also sat with the widow of CPT Ritz. I had to tell her what happened that day. No one ever told her. Seriously?? :shock: As I walked from the airfield to Grand Anse, following the same route I took be...

Re: 30 years ago today... Operation Urgent Fury
I'm wondering if Magic Man even knows about this. It looks like it was cut and pasted from his old site "Dispatches from the Magic Kingdom"

Re: Made in China treats kill nearly 600 dogs
This is only a test. If it was real, it would be killing humans. Go back to watching Honey boo boo and twerping.

Re: 30 years ago today... Operation Urgent Fury
I just finished walking from Point Salines airfield, over the ridge, through the Cuban compound, up over the hill behind it and across Mourne Rouge ridge. I then came down onto Grand Anse beach. This was the same route I took 30 years ago. I am smoked. Not a 22 year old anymore! October 25, 1983 Aft...

Re: 30 years ago today... Operation Urgent Fury
October 25th, 1983 Morning… I woke up at 0300 and marched to the ammo issue point. We were given a mosquito net, a Kevlar flak jacket, two 2-quart canteens, two poncho liners, there C-rations and all the ammunition they thought we needed for this mission. I was issued 140 rounds of 5.56mm ball, 90 r...

Could you move this to the Mosh Pit and out of the Mojo.
This is for everyone, not just Rangers. They need to know what happened before them.

Re: 30 years ago today... Operation Urgent Fury
I am now sitting in the Mount Cinnamon Resort, overlooking Grand Anse beach... the one where the Ranger helicopter went down due to hitting a palm tree. Fantastic view.

Re: Kerry signs UN arms treaty
The Senate has to ratify any treaties. Yes, but these shitbags know that time is on their side. Once a treaty is signed, it never has an expiration date. Sometime in the future there will be a Senate that has a huge majority of democrats and they will ratify this thing. Once that happens the idea o...
