Those guys survived in that truck. So the IED was in this plastic jug and it went low water. So it didn't explode all the way. So we get back in, we move into the camp, we take it over, take over some buildings, make it our jock, and then we spend the next 22 days doing little operations like sniper ops up there, trying to get the bad guys. We're having mortar fights and stuff like that.

Damn. So we did some good for a short amount of time at least. Nice. And we came back down there, and that was that deployment.
