It infuriated me as he kept shooting me. I grabbed my weapon, jumped out, and fired two rounds over their heads; I didnt 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.
