He said he had never been that scared in all his life after the artillery and air hit around his position.
The funny thing is that he's big, happy guy that says the main thing the troops were worried about was not surrendering fast enough to avoid getting killed.
The other thing that they feared was upon hearing that a Gurkha regiment was going to land up from their position and that they wouldn't understand Spanish or English....and kill all of them before dawn. No white flags and sign language is hard to see at night.
We had a great laugh at his "war" stories.... He loves our country and works as a financial analyst. Life is funny..... especially when you get the low down from the other side.
Makes you wonder what some poor muzzy is thinking as a laser guided bomb blows away the building he's just about to walk into.....or he's walking along when his commander's head blows up and 1-2 seconds later he hears a gunshot....yikes!!!
