Because like, bro, I'll just snatch that right out of my mom's hand and say, thank you. Now I have a 38. Yeah.
Ether, whatever the fuck you call it. Whatever. Let me ask you this, because I talked about this the other day, and I could tell it rubbed some people the wrong way. I have felt more what I would call fear and anxiety- on jujitsu mats than anything I ever felt overseas in combat. You were shot though.
So it might be a different, you've had, I never got hurt in combat, but like, dude, like, Hey, we're getting ambushed or Hey, you get Intel that there's IDs on our route or whatever it is. There was always just kind of this accepting that, Hey, that, okay. If it's my day, it's my day, but it's never that like, Oh no. And I would get that. Oh no. And MMA training and
No, no, no, no. I'm saying like when, like what we talked about, like Bushesha has you mounted and he has his knee going through your diaphragm. Just get out. Yeah. Just stand up. Right. And everything's going the way. Cause I think, I think our lizard brain is like, I'm dying right now. Yeah.
And it's like, okay, logically, yeah, this is my homie and we're training, but there's something that gets triggered inside you sometimes that's like, what the fuck, dude?
Well, dude, and that's what I've noticed. We had one really bad ambush in Ramadi. It was August 10th, 2004, where we... Remember that scene from Clear and Present Danger with Harrison Ford, where they had like a bunch of machine guns and RPGs and stuff on the rooftop? It was gnarly like that.
Yes, and our motorcade got diverted because they put a bunch of jersey barriers across the road. And as you know, You're literally driving and now somebody else is dictating your movement. Yeah. So like, again. And you know it too. And you know it. And it's like, fuck dude.
And then sure as shit, the next road we got funneled on, they did it again. And that's when the lead car is like, reverse out. We can't continue down this fucking path anymore.
Because now they're dictating our movement. And as soon as we started to reverse out, dude, it was literally like 50 yards from the X. Where had we went 50 more yards, they had a bunch of PCAMs and RPG gunners on the rooftops. And as soon as they start reversing out. They're like, oh, fuck it. It's go time now. And started fucking shooting our cars up.
And bro, they were level seven armored like BMWs. Yeah. And they just got hammered. Yeah, it can only take so much. And like, dude, check this out too. An RPG blew out the gas tank of our follow vehicle, which was right in front of us. And all the gas just went onto the street. It didn't ignite. So the opposite of Hollywood when you shoot a car with an RPG.
The classic movie fucking grenade where it's just like, boom, and guys are going flying. I also hit a dude with a 203 and he walked away. I'm like, hey, I thought it was supposed to have a 14 meter kill ratio. It like detonated right at his feet. And then, you know, the plume of black smoke? Yeah. And I saw him run out of the alley. I was like, what the fuck?
I mean, hopefully he died of shame later, but I mean, yeah, it's, I wish it was like the movies. But what I was saying is like, even in like a really gnarly ambush where it's, it's hectic, like all the cars are getting shot up. There's RPGs being fired. And this isn't like beat my chest, like tough guy talk. Like it's not very scary.
It's not scary in the moment because it's just mechanically working through the problem. That's what I'm saying. It's just happening. Like you don't feel fear when combat is actually happening. And so maybe like, I'd never been in one of those scenarios where it's been prolonged, where like, you know, you, you hear like Tom Satterly talk about Blackhawk. Yeah.
Where they're, they're, they're now in a, they're now in a hard point in a room where A 36 hour tick. And they don't know if anyone's coming. Like now you're probably going to have to like deal with emotions and whatnot. I never had anything like that happen. It was always like spurts where you'd get ambushed or you'd get ID'd or you're getting like this, this quick, small arms engagement.
And then it was over and it never felt very scary. Have you watched the new documentary on Black Eyed Peas? It was fucking awesome, dude.
Dude. What the fuck? And you know what I loved about that documentary is they went and got the other side's perspective. And those dudes, those dudes are us, man. Like they were gnarly. Fingerless fucking bullet hole through an ear. And he's like, hey, I was here to fight.
and I was gonna see it through and he's like I got shot I don't care I was here to see it through I was like oh man like you forget like just cause they don't have the fucking equipment or the stuff that we have or the support that we have those fucking dudes are gnarly man
Yeah.
That'd be a bitch. No, I really appreciated the fact that they like... They didn't skew like, oh, the Americans were bad. But they also didn't like make those guys out to be bad. It was just very matter of fact. They just told the story from both sides. This is what was happening. This is why these people were angry.
And then they talked about like some of the operations before the main one on October 3rd were like, dude, there's some... There's some people's grandparents that got killed and there were some old people that were like collateral damage. Yeah. And it started to really piss off the fighting age males in the city. And think about it, dude. Some Kalispell old folks home got accidentally bombed.
