Cause this really felt like an ambush.
I believe Kipling made reference once or twice to what could happen to anyone wounded in a fight in Afghanistan. Both the Soviets and the US might have read more Kipling before taking on this mission.
When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An' go to your Gawd like a soldier.
Go, go, go like a soldier,
So-oldier of the Queen!

Very good point.
Bravo Zulu and thank your for your service.
There are more than a few people who should be in jail for this foolish adventure.
