What are you waiting for?
My platoon was ordered on point through Nazarriha, an obviously hostile town. We were strong pointing the city, while AMTRACS, LAVs, and Abrams tanks rolled by. Obviously, someone thought the armor was more likely to be destroyed than the humvees. Beyond the obvious ignorance of command, this was incredibly irritating for a number of reasons. Our humvees have no armor. The tanks do. Out humvees only have a .50 cal machine gun. The LAVs and Abrams have HUGE cannons. My soldiers only have M4A1's and maybe an M203 if the qualified with it. 1 tank has more firepower than my entire platoon, and here we are, strong pointing a city. Like the saying goes though, another day, another dollar. I love you.
