Wow, CF, Wow, it is hard for Me to type this right now, because I have Tears Streaming down my Face!!! I have been a part of, and seen(WORSE) many of these things, up close and personal. I can hardly type for the Tears, SORRY, not trying to guilt Trip!!! It just brought all of those semi suppressed memories FLOODING BACK. I believe I recognize My Platoon, at about minute 4:30 on War Pigs Video, in fact I know that is US, can remember the cameraman being there, and us telling Him to Get The FUCK DOWN, we were storming a House/Complex, and were under heavy FIRE. We could not figure out what the Hell He was Doing, now I understand and KNOW. He was one BRAVE SOB, shit, we all thought He was Crazy!!! The scene is in Fallujah(I'LL NEVER FORGET THAT PLACE, EVER), a lot of BAD SHIT HAPPENED THERE, you do not want to know, and I'll never TALK about, unless YOU were there too. POWERFUL STUFF CF, feel FREE to post that kind of stuff on My Journal ANYTIME, My Heart is still in My Throat, Tears still running down My FACE. Let My Wife watch it, She cried to, FOR ME. These are the things I DREAM ABOUT AT NIGHT. It is like I am still there, NEVER LEFT, not in My Mind anyways. Thank You CF, I needed to actually see those things again, and War Pigs was the Perfect song to Show them with. Now You all Know what I have been through, without Me having to say it. THANK YOU CF, THANK YOU!!! It hurts so BAD sometimes, I need to see these things, it helps Me remember, without it all coming out of My Mind, and wondering if I had distorted it, or made it worse than it really was. I urge You all to look up the Battle for Fallujah, it was HELL ON EARTH. Once AGAIN CF, THANK YOU. You have My Permission To Post anything like this on My Thread Anytime. I SALUTE YOU CF(HAND SNAPS DOWN IN SALUTE, REACHES FOR KLEENEX TO WIPE NOSE AND EYES) SEMPER FI. SINCERELY, JAMESTHEGREEN.
I salute you my Friend! You are a brave soul! Thank God it is going to be over for you soon!
