Citizen Soldier Page #4

He's got his nuts

on my neck.

Floyd:

I may or may not

have been

commentating a little bit.

Okay, so we're back here

live on location.

- Lieutenant Leehan.

- This is good...

Floyd:

We've got Prince on station.

Prince:

Ready?

Let's blow

this fighting position.

Go.

- Whoo-hoo!

- ( Guns firing)

I love Afghanistan!

One more! One more!

Who didn't pull their pin?

Soldier:

Who didn't pull their pin?

It's still there.

Let's do it again.

Yep, I got one more.

I've got three more.

Floyd:
What's your

assessment of this, Prince?

I like it. I'm having fun.

Floyd:

Like it?

Here. You gotta grab...

( Grunts )

Come on!

( All laughing )

Really?

Oh, sh*t!

Harrill:

For that first month,

everything was silent.

We didn't see the enemy,

we didn't hear

the enemy.

It felt like it was

just my brothers and me

alone in the mountains.

You know, war...

war is boring

until it's punctured

by these moments

or heart-stopping terror.

July 11... that's a date

that I'll never forget.

The Main Element was going

to do a Key Leader Engagement

just south of Tili.

We were selected

to the overwatch position

for that mission.

Tyler Brown;

Punisher Base, 3-6.

Be advised, SP time now.

Got 1-3 US PAX.

Hey, Alpha, spread out.

Harrill:
Hey, don't bunch

it up back there.

Keep your distance.

In Afghanistan, the one thing

that was very important

to to always

maintain the high ground.

Colson:
It's hard to get

high ground in Afghanistan

because in that country,

there's always higher ground.

Keep your distance.

Typically, that higher ground

is occupied by the enemy.

Harrill:

Head on a swivel, guys.

Colson:
We moved

into our OP position.

There wasn't sh*t for cover

and concealment.

2-1 Alpha, for 2-1.

Be advised,

our element is in position.

How copy, over.

We would do Key Leader

Engagements

with the village leaders

or the elders.

Lieutenant Leehan

would have us all stay back.

I would even stay back

and I'm always

by his side.

Wagoner:

There's Leehan crossing.

Harrill:
All right,

let's stay alert.

Wagoner:

Keep your eyes peeled.

He'd be the one walking

up to that key leader

and introducing himself

to let them know

that we're here,

we're friends.

We want to get

the Taliban out of the area.

Looks like we need

to wrap it up.

Leehan:

Basically, our mission

was to come meet

with the village mayor.

Link up with him,

see what kind of actions

had been going on

as far as Taliban

or any insurgency.

So we came out,

I talked to him,

asked him for things

that they...

he may need for the village.

He told us

he needed security.

It developed from there

that they had some

suspicious-looking people
