To those who have experiences from the war in Iraq

[Occhidiangela]

P.S. Hey Occhi, good to see you're still around.

Good to be seen. :D I worked quite a bit with USAF medevac and casevac units when I was assigned over there. A good bunch. One of the missions we coordinated was an evac of an Afghani Girl, a bit east of Herat, who had, for reasons not clear, swallowed a small pouch of processed opium.

Hearts and minds, she lived, her uncle was insanely grateful. My Marine friends in the 22d MEU were a bit jaded, and suggested to me that he'd had her swallow it to avoid some sort of law enforcement, anti drug whatever.

Don't know, but I do know the Special Forces medic and the Air Force Combat Rescue lads did a great job, that an other occasions.
