I’d imagine our Marines are relegated to playing tiddly winks while all this transpires...
I worked at Al Asad for 15 months, it’s out in the middle of nowhere. It’s a large base approximately 6 miles x 6 miles square. An Iraqi Army camp was next door. No one’s getting close to the base without detection/annihilation. Whoever said radio contact was lost with the base is hyperventilating. What? Did they have two tin cans and a string linking the two together? Ramadi is not Al Asad.
