During my first deployment to Afghanistan, my platoon was caught in a massive, well-designed ambush. Heavy machine guns on high ground, RPGs in close.

The impact hit like a hammer to the chest. Casualties. Chaos.

There's a point to this, I promise. 🧵 My guys who weren't immediately wounded did all the right things. They returned fire with everything they had, and we pushed our vehicles forward.

But the trap was too well set. They had us. We were fucked. Our vehicles were being torn to shreds and the guys inside were next.
