The best whatever you are, is a dead whatever you are.

I remember this video from MCT. We were in Pendleton and for one of the morning classes the intro'd with this exact video. Kind of as a "pump you up" and brainwashing video.


Worked pretty well on most people, myself included.

Yes, absolutely.


If you have ever scared someone then that makes you a terrorist as well.

The best thing about waging a war on an ideal is that you're guaranteed to never defeat the ideal thus equalling perpetual conflict

[PTSD Is My Life]

I often wonder just how many of the whoopers and callers would actually be able to stomach combat. "Fixed base" combat that is, when they have all the time in the world to sit, to watch, as you travel in and out day in day out knowing that there are many eyes out there is watching and planning the next IED, RPG attack or maybe just a single snipe at the top cover man.... it changes you when you see someone drop in your lap with the top of his head missing, or his jaw hanging by sinew alone. To be penned in miles from nowhere after a hard strike on one of your vehicles causing severe injuries to several people, holding your boss while he bleeds internally and asks you if I thought he was OK, would he survive and me telling him straight up, No Sir, I'm sorry but your fucked, its here and now I'm afraid, then ask him to swallow the pain and fear as it would unsettle the lads if they heard him screaming...to watch a good man, a great leader of men, swallow hard and keep that pain inside as tears of pain, frustration and fear flood down his dusty face leaving little red lined clean areas on his cheeks. Hold and comfort him, loosening his body armour as his abdomen was filling with his own blood all this in probably just a few seconds yet with help still a solid 15 minutes out. Hold him, promise to tell his mother & father he loved them and to thank them for everything they did for him, and as delirium sets in play the part of his mother saying its fine, you can let go now son, its OK just let go now, just let go we all love you, proud of you and hold him as you hunker down behind the front wheel of your wrecked vehicle with a full on, well organised ambush going on around you....and then get the fuck on with saving your arse and your buddies too. We suffered a four vehicle loss in one of the best ambushes that had ever been laid down in the area. We where trapped within our own vehicles burning wreckage and heavy sustained fire by a group of (at least) 14 well armed, disciplined and determined soldiers. You call them terrorists if you want, but these where trained group of homeland soldiers fighting what they class as an invading army in their country. Answer this, if say China invaded your land would you listen to them and lay down and roll over as they set up a puppet government that agrees with their policies? or would you, Like me, be sitting in a hedgerow, ditch or hillside waiting to take one out with a well aimed rifle shot, an RPG or a bloody big IED to take an APC holding x number of soldiers told to go to another country and save it from itself? If you would be doing the second option, fighting them YOU would then be the terrorist.
Its easy to sit and say "yeah, fuck 'em, ha ha look his brains are on the rear parcel shelf...its different when you try to eat and all you can smell is human offal, no matter how many times, or how long you scrub yourself down for...that taste stays there.
I am not saying we where right or wrong but just wondering who would/could walk the mile? Some of the best fighting men I have served with are the ones who are quiet and just get on with the job. The hollerers! the yeah lets go and fuck us some sand ******* they are often the worst soldiers.
I've seen men freeze and one man who talked a great fight was found sitting in a ball his own shit in the back of the APC during an IED ambush, refusing to get out and help...when we got back he showered changed and slunk away and was later seen in the internet cabin emailing his buddies back home about the contact he had just been in...(he was quietly re-assigned) whilst in that same incident a Section Clerk controlled 8-10 men who where separated from the main unit for over 20 minutes of hard fighting...a fucking clerk! He in effect "put down his pen" gathered the lads who where firing wildly and concentrated their fire so effectively the medivac wagon was able to get in and take the seriously wounded out. When he got back to the unit, he was debriefed, he showered and went to the mess hall and sat quietly with the infantry boys he had just proved his worth to. That lad had a proven 3 kills put to his name, this is was the minimum its what the heli's recorded on video when they arrived, by then it was almost over and he upped ran over the open ground with 3/4 men and neutralised the last 5-7 of the attacking force at the tail end of the convoy...... and he said nothing, he was embarrassed and put it down if mentioned. His only outward sign of what he had done was where he sat in the Mess Hall. If those men where eating they bunched up on the bench and he squeezed in everyone packed up tight against each other like conjoined twins, triplets and in a way that's what they where.... conjoined by an experience that needed no words.
I don't know what if anything I am trying to say or prove but I ended up writing what I wrote, it's first hand, its roughly written and very compressed with masses of information missing but its enough to give you an idea, a view through someones protective eyewear....
