Like, you would hear these things.

It's just constant.

Daily.

So, and, you know, I try and give as much admiration to the Army and the Marine Corps, who fought so hard in such terrible conditions.

And that's what they were facing every day, and that's what we were facing.

And...

We had the blue on blue happen almost pretty quickly thereafter.

Cowie got wounded bad.

And you know, Cowie just a stud.

And he's in Charlie Med.

He's all doped up on morphine.

The doc pulls me aside and he's like, hey, I don't know if this leg's gonna make it.

Roger.

And Cowie, like, I, you know, bend over to, like, hold his hand, and he's like, the first thing's out of his mouth.

Let me stay.

so you know this is um once the 11 ad shows up with colonel mcfarland later general mcfarland you know that's when we start pressing in to the city that's when we start supporting these combat overwatch or the yeah these uh combat outposts being built in the city which is a huge construction project

And there's a time period when they're building these combat outposts in the city that they're extremely vulnerable because they're doing a construction project in the middle of a war zone.

And so what can we do to help that is we can set up sniper overwatch positions.

And when the enemy would maneuver in to attack them, we would kill them.

And it was actually General McFarland.
