Thank you thank you thank you! We Craaaaave to hear reports of what is really going on in Iraq. The media just do not tell us.
A friend (DAC) recently returned from Iraq with a report. He had interviewed soldiers involved in a convoy ambush a short time ago. It was a serious ambush, and the people involved here were driving a semi. The ambush was initiated with a mortar and RPG barrage, one of the mortar rounds impacting on the hood near the windshield. The explosion shattered the glass and sent shrapnel into the driver and co-driver. An armor piercing round went through the driver’s legs and an AK round grazed the co-drivers head.
The driver yelled “We’re gonna die!”, and turned into the fire. The co-driver kicked out the remains of the windshield and leaned out with his SAW, firing at the muzzle flashes.
Score:
Americans – 6 wounded.
Iraqis – 26 dead.
