Now, the first pic is of one of the many Iraqis that thought they could stop us.
1st platoon B co 3-7 IN doing a rubber boat assault across the Euphrates under heavy enemy fire to secure the far side of the bridge and to cut the explosive wires. That was the first river assault since WWII and it was done by Mech (Brad) dismounts, not the 101st or 82nd, just your everyday mech dismounts.
Five Iraqi BMD's I took out at about 300 meter after comming across the bridge. They were a Republican Guard recon company, somehow me and the CO ended up leading the charge. The road was rised up so nobody could get around, so we had to shoot our way through.
