  • SmallSoldier02-

    This interview is not a violation of any rules UCMJ or otherwise. CPT Rankin is commenting in general terms about an engangement that happened 6 months prior to the interview. This is history, and he is not revealing anything about the current operational state of this FOB or it's defenses.

  • i remember Flanders fondly . I thought Capt Murphy was the Company Commander then course that was like in June or July 2006 maybel later not for sure

  • Really Roberto? I wouldn't have mentioned anything otherwise, but since you brought it up, maybe you can explain what your guy was doing running through an open courtyard, across the front of two forces that were actively engaging each other at close range. We're still trying to figure that out. Inquiring minds want to know. No one else found themselves in that position; not even the guys who came from the .50 cal in the wall bunker. Also, we did find bodies. They were under the trucks.
