But just a 45 minute helo ride gets you to Basra, they get sometimes 30-40 per day!!!!!!!! Because the base is so close to the city that the bad guys fire the rounds from within the city and the military WILL NOT fire back because innocent people could be killed in the process. So what is the result, they spend all day running in and out of bunkers because they can't stand up for themselves! It's a bad situation!
