When I was in Fallujah the Tanks needed a LTC's permission to do a Tank shot. Granted this was after the battle but still, Why have Tanks on raodwatch if they can't fire if needed?
Ol armchair QB shyt huh? Leading from the desk sir! man, I hated that shyt. Some a$$hole trying to call shots instead of the folks on the ground. As a young Fire Team leader I was told to jack in hardwire to the CP. I'm like
for fukking what? No active enemies or nothing just broadcast it on the net. Told me to RV to sector CP and wait for instructions. This was during the Gulf aftermath. We were carrying a M-60 mounted on the T&E. I went in and the Capt told me to go to specific coordinates overlooking the runway (runway denial)pretty much on a cliff. I put the pig on full load. SOP was to engage anybody who didn't look like 'us' or anybody in the SAM footprints but Capt wanted me to call him? I said ok, but sir, what if it's an ambush sir, we get off the X and I'm mashing through? The Senior (E-8) cut him off and said kill any motherfukker that's fukking around out there! You copy that?!! I said HUOAH!
And got the fukk onto my mission. Laughiiiiing my asss off! Rotator buzzed us about 200 feet we were up so high. Wasn't my turn to leave yet though. MFs was waving at us through the windows.
fukking other NCOs wives and shyt. Getting caught! One Sgt threw his ass over a car lol and the 1st Sgt had to save his ass in front of the battalion. Wild shyt. One AF guy was fukking a soldiers wife in Germany ( K Town I think) dude came out the field and went ape shyt in the NCO club! Putting Mfs to sleep!
They gave his ass an Article 15 and busted him down to PFC lol
