Basically I had a FO relay to me orders from my company commander to call in arty on a house that I KNEW had civi's in it, told that FO that if he so much as touched his radio I'd kill him myself (don't advise that one) turned out the two guys that ran into the house that my CO thought were insurgents were just the teenage kids of the family that was in there... My CO still threw the book at me, forfeiture of pay blah blah blah... |

Sooooo..... you're going to throw Bullets?

Maybe if we didn't spend 150 dollars a pair on sunglasses or $400 on a toilet seat (stupid air force, some watch dog group fond it) you'd have decent equipment to send you to WAR |
