You lost 17 troops in MND-CS? Were you in the 3rd AD?
no - I was the ops chief for the US REO - I knew them - some where my team mates - others were Army assigned there or I had met with during security meetings - or with other PSD companies...but at one time or another - I joked with them - drank coffee with them - ate breakfast...the normal day...then most were killed by IED’s - an entire little bird was shot down - that had 2 of my mates on board (G-man and Rooster)...the last one - before I left was Iraqi General Qais - I watched the aftermath from him being assassinated outside the REO - he was on his way in for a security meeting...then I watched his 2nd in command (Abbas) clean house for a week...didn’t have many problems after that...
