The ambushed infantrymen were later accused by Time magazine and Congressman John Murtha with going berserk

I had to read this line six times

My brain kept telling me "Congressman John Murtha went berserk and ambushed the infantrymen with a Time magazine."

The nicotine ( I stopped smoking yesterday) withdrawals must be worse than I thought.

Thanks for the ping.

My thoughts and prayers for the Chessani family.

Hang in there Fred, you got one day behind you. It will eventually get easier, I know.

It'll be 5 years for me on the 4th of July, Fred, but I had a foolproof method of; slow speed getoff on dirtbike, unkowingly collapsing lung, spending the night shooting off fireworks, drinking & smoking, immediately contracting pnuemonia as I was taking prednisone so immune system was shut off, and culminating in 4 ribs broken one at a time by projectile coughing.

The worst part was that gum. I learned real quick not to bite right into those. The rest of the steps are pretty straightforward.
