I got out of the Army in 93.

I later became friends with several of the Task Force Ranger and the 5th Special Forces detachment that was ordered to “Hold in place” while TF Ranger had to stand on its own .

I also met several of the 10th Mountain guys and one guy from an engineer unit that was there to help.


They said it’s the most evil place they ever served. Those were soldiers who saw the sectarian violence in Iraq. They said it was completely understandable while everyone pulled out. The whole system couldn’t be changed.

I hope we do a better job of preparing our military for what they see.
