I really enjoy reading these types of first-hand accounts of War. They make me proud of my country and of the men who serve and sometimes very angry at my country for not doing enough to support the men who give all for us. Many times I read these accounts and am amazed at the incompetence of the high command and some of the really terrible missions that the military have to carry out due to the decisions of terrible politicians. I am often moved to tears by many of these accounts.if an extra guy is on the vehicle, the gunner cannot use the gun...
