Subject: Re: Sin Novedad en el frente! Author: MATA JARI [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 12:28:25 03/25/03 Tue In reply to: MATA JARI 's message, "Sin Novedad en el frente!" on 01:57:07 03/21/03 Fri gracias Dhara. Un beso para ti. The black storm and a shoot on the rear. T (3/25/2003 8:21:45 AM): Update: Currently on the side of the road in defensive positions due to the incredibly bad sand storm. Not able to see my hand in front of my face. Not sure where we are exactly all I know is that we were in several firefights with the Iraqi's last night and we had several casualties. I lost a Marine that got his back shot yesterday and the thing that really pissed me off most was that some damn report was trying to interview him while we were trying to get him medicated to the rear. That kind of crap has to stop. I don't want any of my marines mom's learning that there son was shot on live television. There is a fine line to this reporting and its starting to get in the way of us being able to do our jobs. I was interviewed a day or so ago but wasn't asked what my name was. T (3/25/2003 8:21:54 AM): Not sure if it made the news or not at this point I could really careless. This storm is taking a beating upon us today and we hope that its gonna break pretty soon but the way it looks its pitch black outside like its night time and I know that its not. It has really hampered our movement today. Hopefully tonight it will break and we can resume our march towards Baghdad La tormenta negra, y un tiro en la espalda.. T (3/25/2003 8:21:45 AM): actualizando: Corrientemente en posiciones defensivas al costado del camino, debido a una espantosa tormenta de arena. No puedo ver mi mano en frente de mí. No se exactamente donde estamos, todo lo que se es que estuvimos en varios combates con los iraquíes anoche y sufrimos varias bajas. Perdí un marine que recibió un disparo por la espalda ayer, y la cosa que más me encabrona es que un maldito reportero estaba tratando de entrevistarlo mientras tratábamos de curarle la herida en la espalda. Esa clase de mierda tiene que parar. No quisiera que ninguna madre de mis marines supiera que su hijo/a fue baleado en la televisión en vivo. Hay una línea muy fina con estos reporteros y ha comenzado a interferir con nuestra habilidad de hacer nuestra labor. Yo fui entrevistado hace como un día atrás, pero no me preguntaron mi nombre. T (3/25/2003 8:21:54 AM): No estoy seguro si salio en las noticias ó no, a este punto realmente me da lo mismo. La tormenta nos ha azotado fuerte hoy y esperamos que comience a amainar pronto, pero ahora se ve completamente negro afuera, como si fuera de noche cuando se que no lo es. Ello ha retrasado nuestro movimiento hoy. Esperemos que se calme para la noche y podamos continuar nuestra ruta hacia Bagdad. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Sin Novedad en el frente! Author: MATA JARI [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:54:19 03/27/03 Thu Another dessert storm, on the outskirts of Bhagdad and the hit and run. T (3/27/2003 5:44:34 AM): Update Currently we are in another bad sandstorm that has slowed our progress. We had some casualties yesterday with the Iraqi Paramilitary doing what we call hit and run tactics. They try and hit us with sporadic fire and then retreat very quickly in the hopes that we won't have a chance to react and hit them. Along with the sandstorm that has slowed us and we have now started to hunt theses groups down and finish them off so that we can move on. We understand that were getting close to Baghdad and that were about to face a very large force of the republican guard of Hussein, we are prepare for whatever. Not exactly sure where we are but I do know that we pasted by a town called Qal at Sukkar. We have seen some of the air power destruction in the way of dead Iraqi corpses in there burned out military vehicles. T (3/27/2003 5:44:36 AM): Some also that our tanks and artillery have destroyed as well. It would be very nice it this damn sandstorm would break so that we can get done what we need to and end this thing quickly. T (3/27/2003 5:45:56 AM): I miss seeing you due to this war and how far we are up north in it. Just for you information I'm not sending you anything that hasn't already happened. So I haven't given anything up to you or the enemy if that concerns you. I have a big favor to ask.... <===personal====>oxoxoxoxo T Otra tormenta del desierto en las afueras de Bagdad; y pega y corre. T (3/27/2003 5:44:34 AM): Estamos de Nuevo en otra gran tormenta de arena que retardado nuestro progreso. Tuvimos algunas bajas ayer con los iraquíes Paramilitares, que usan lo que llamamos tácticas de pega y corre. Ellos tratan de alcanzarnos con fuego esporádico e inmediatamente se repliegan, con la esperanza que no tengamos chance de reaccionar y dispararles. Junto a la tormenta de arena que nos ha retasado, hemos comenzado a cazar a estos grupos y aniquilarlos, para poder continuar moviéndonos norte. Comprendemos que estamos muy cerca de Bagdad y que estamos a punto de enfrentar una gran resistencia de la guardia republicana de Hussein, estamos preparados para lo que sea. No se exactamente donde estamos pero hemos pasado por un pueblo llamado Qal at Sukkar. Nosotros hemos visto alguna de la destrucción causada por la fuerza aera aliada, los cuerpos de los iraquies en sus vehículos militares carbonizados. T (3/27/2003 5:44:36 AM): Otros también que nuestra artillería ha destruido también. Sería bueno que esta maldita tormenta amainara y así podamos hacer terminar de hacer lo que nos ha sido encomendado, y finalizarlo rápidamente. T (3/27/2003 5:45:56 AM): Estoy extrañando verte debido a esta Guerra y lo adentrado al norte que ya estamos en ella. Para tu información no estoy mandando ninguna información de nada que no allá ocurrido ya. Así que no te he suministrado ninguna información comprometedora a ti ni al enemigo, si eso te preocupaba. Te quiero pedir un favor <====personal====>xoxoxo T [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
