Right after the first hit, we ran tot the door to see if we should run because it felt CLOSE! Just as we opened the door, 2 more flew over!

Darn, glad that you are ok but that is getting to close as you said. To bad they couldn't spot where they came from and wipe them out.

Ya, unfortunately due to the media and us having to be perfect... we can't afford to have any collateral damage. Otherwise it would have been easy to get them. It baffles me how a suicide bomber takes out 70 people in a market and it's ok, you don't hear much about it. We take out 80 militants and 20-80 civilians and we are criminals!

Our media is nothing but an extension of the Communist press. I think they should use the so called embedded media and make them go in front of all patrols so they can set off the booby traps and such and that way we wouldn't lose so many good people. In this case they should have sent the media in to interview the rocket launchers.

The worst part is, there is alot of "coincidence" in this.... there was a fallen comrad ceremony not even 20 minutes before they hit! Among other things!
