It infuriated me as he kept shooting me. I grabbed my weapon, jumped out, and fired two rounds over their heads; I didn’t want to shoot them - they were just l'il kids. After I fired over their heads, they turned around and ran down the bridge.

We saw a Bradley tank coming towards us, it drove into the city firing at anything that moved, and two more tanks were following behind it.

A good summation of combat vs service support troops...

Support troops are generally issued only a basic load of ammo - 100 rounds. We played hell trying to get more, even when we were being hit and taking casualties every mission.

Care to explain to this combat support soldier, and the others on Free Republic, what you meant by that?
