Guys,

Can you remember the day before the Raid? Capt Carter already told us what he was doing talking to the Colonels and Generals and getting us the extra stuff that ultimately saved our butts. What were you doing and what were you thinking? I had only be in country a little over a month before we went on the Raid. I remember that we all though that the next day we would go in “Kick butt and take names”. Needless to say that was not the case. We did what was asked of us because we were dedicated and trained to accomplish the mission. The problem was that no one realized exactly how many of the enemy that we engaged. A hell of a lot more than we had been told. So what were everyone’s thoughts the day before?
