Did you read House to House about the 2nd battle of Fallujah? Crazy shite. Really unbelievable what some of these guys did.
I never read it but the November battle for Fallujah was all too real for me. We were up the road about 30 miles from there escorting a General and a LtCol with the 1st Cav and 2 State Department people who "wanted to get close to the action(stupid fricks)". There were also a few media people with us. They just wanted some combat patches or something, but we were their security so we sit there for most of an afternoon on the 2nd day. You could hear the most intense fighting ever and we got a cool show from the air too. Anyway we went back to the Green Zone before night fail and I went to the CSH(hospital) to see if our company or if anyone else I knew from around the IZ had gotten hurt. I knew a bunch of them were in the city fighting and it was the worst thing I've ever seen. There was so much blood on the floor of the CSH the nurses were using squeegies to push the blood out. Grown men were screaming at the top of their lungs and soldiers and marines were just laid out everywhere triage style. I was there to give blood because I have a rare type.
I still have nightmares from this. I hear men screaming in my sleep sometimes. There is noting worse than hearing a grown man screaming knowing he's probably gonna die.
Sorry to mention this...didn't meant to go into such detail but I'm working on a lot of shite right now with myself over the past year or so. It sometimes feels good to talk about it.

That's powerful stuff, man. I promise you nobody's judging you harshly for talking about it. Whatever works so that you can feel better about it.

thanks bro I appreciate it.
I will check that book out though. While I was in the CSH I was getting mixed stories. One kid was so fricked up, he had a halo on his head(probably broke something in his neck, the right side of his face was burned and he was missing most of his right arm. He was pretty doped up but we talked for about 30 minutes while they were waiting to get to him. He was telling me how it all started out, they were kicking arse clearing houses. They had little to no resistance for like 3 blocks. He said it got to where they were laughing and thinking this was so easy when all hell broke loose for his team. An RPG hit their lead hummer, then about 30 insurgents rose from rooftop in unison as soon as the hummer was destroyed. They were pretty much all in the street with zero cover. He was the luckiest one, most of them got whacked out within seconds and a few others took refuge in a house but the bad guys had the vantage point and shredded the house his people were in. It took a warship to come over and spray the rooftop so the remaining guys, including him could get out. IT made my blood boil listening to his story. I def want to read that book you mentioned because I'm sure there are a shite ton of stories similar to that.This post was edited on 12/3/10 at 10:08 am

No Terd, I'd rather have a beer.
anyway if nothing else, I saw enough bloody, shitty shite in Iraq that the initial vision of a zombie will not bother me in the least. Unless eyeballs are hanging out, that shite I can't take. Eyeballs make me gag.

Yeah I've heard snippets about both guys. Tomorrow we'll be prob be out in the malls for 8 hours and when I'm done and basically just sitting there waiting on wifey for 5 hours I'm gonna check out the book stores and read up on them.
I really do appreciate the suggestions. I'm always running out of stuff to read, it's a huge hobby.Posted on 12/3/10 at 12:21 pm to Michael J Cocks

If shite hit the fan, the apocolypse happened, and you surived.
Who's the one person you would insist on trying to find? wife, family, friend, old girlfriend?

Wife. Even though she would certainly slow me down and would lead to my eventual death.
Eta: I suppose I could try to surround myself with people of questionable character, and have them redeker'd.

wife then family. but all of the above would definitely get me retarded.
Posted on 12/3/10 at 2:22 pm to ISDSTiger
if me, i'd be fricked trying to find the people i would try to save. cuz i don't give a damn about anyone here in houston.
I would at least attempt to find my family, and an ex-girlfriend or two back in south louisiana.
can you imagine messican zombies? talk about gettting some work done since they don't need to sleep or eat all that often.

i was thinking Houston would be absolutely terrible in a z sitch. Huge population center, worst sprawl in the country, Katrina evacs, and Mexicans z's all over
Posted on 12/3/10 at 3:35 pm to ISDSTiger
could be..... but if i could capture a few of those messicans who haven't turned and put them to work building a safe refuge or doing the scavaging for us, totally worth it.
all you'd have to do is promise the citizenship once we rebuild the US.
but who am i kidding i can't even get through I10 on a LSU home game weekend without getting stuck in a traffic nightmare....there's no way i could escape during z-apocalypse.

hey man, i went through some similar things, and am constantly working on how it affects me.. let me know if you ever want to talk/email whatever.. talking about it all is what helped me the most.. its no good keeping all of that stuff bottled up.. and it was hard for me, because its not really in my nature to talk about things..
