" ...M1 tanks, LAV and AMTRAKS (?) roll pass? Is it suppose to be the way around? How exactly does this happen?"
"Well Brad, Baghdad is always the objective. If all of us roll into Baghdad, the Iraqi will be prepared with all they got before we could get into Baghdad. That will be extremely difficult to all of us marine. But if we divide our force, they have to divide their force as well. Basically, we, the ultra elite recon marine voted to be a patsy. But don't tell anybody about it."
@kinkarcana1293 Same here, sounds like he was making fun of him for being too frightened to stay back from the tire. Don't blame him, I'd probably make fun of Rolling Stone too. Though I do think this is the only time Fick himself actually mocked Rolling Stone for his inexperience
@fitzerg Actually the commanders wanted the glory of winning the battle themselves at the expense of the enlisted men. It isn't Army vs Marines, it's Officer vs Enlisted. But the same holds true "Glory in expense of the lowly soldiers" :)
I love Nate, he is a really cool guy. Stark Sands is really hot. I'm reading the book from Evan Wright now and I love it. Nate comes of a the good guy, who loves his men. And they love him back. You can tell.
@ContinentalPatriot it means that the grunts are the smartest men in the military, and the higher ups are fucking retards when it comes to commanding an army.
@KayFettig No one was singing. It was Islamic prayer. In the middle east every where you go, during certain times a day, the prayer is broadcasted over the cities loud speaker system.
It's incredible how much respect you gain for Fick, as a person, through this series. The situations he is put into as both a leader and a subordinate are beyond what most of us will ever experience. Just ordered his book; can't wait to read it.
@bennyv04988 Mate, you will not be dissapointed. I've read it And and re-read time and time again. If you also like reading about platoon leaders, as I do, Check joker one and beyond band of brothers.
@melfaery Same with my brothers platoon...It's like what did all the hot guys get together and join the Marines...lol (not that i'm complaining, i love a man in uniform )
@melfaery A lot of guys in the military seem to be attractive...and studies show that atractive people are more successful than less attractive people... so does that mean we should all aspire to join the military? :P
In Nate Fick's book, he doesn't talk about himself much. I always imagined he'd look exhausted and long-suffering. In the photo from his book, he looks like a worn-out high school teacher, while his men look very cocky.
What I love most about this scene between Nate and Evan is that Nate's really trying to reassure Evan without actually accusing him of being afraid. It's so considerate of him.
But Fick said "I'm assured that I'll have the right to address and allegation before anything is formalized. I'm assured of this." He said assured twice, not particularly impressive quite the opposit

Thats because the Marines were racing to get to Baghdad first before the Army does and the fastest they can go there is with hummers.
