Hey all.. DJD here (David Dall) the one who started this thread.
Sitting in the same chair at my home office & can remember every moment as it unfolded.
I don't know if all of the old gang are still here but I ended up going with my construction crew the following day to help dig. Over the next few days, several others from OSO came down and met us to help on "the pile". Miller? You still around? Oh man, what a time in our lives.............
I was watching all of the documentaries tonight. One of the chilling ones is the "102 minutes that changed America". I felt as if it were happening all over again.
I'll never forget my time when we first walked in through a tunnel. A priest stopped us as we went in with several firemen and said "I don't know if you are prepared for what you are going to see". I sure wasn't.
Looking back, thinking about that first night is scary in itself. When I was there, it was all a blur & I didn't have time to really think about what was happening. All I can remember is thinking that there were people trapped below us & I needed to get them out.
We never did find anyone alive
You see the signs everywhere but I will guarantee you one thing, I'll never forget.
Best to all,
David Dall

So here we are............... Some would say that we are in worse shape now than we were 14 years ago as far as being safe from these kinds of attacks. With ISIS in the picture, its a good argument. Heres what I know from my life's experiences:
I've been around a lot of sh!tbags in my life, and I found that sometimes you have to get down in the grass with the rest of the snakes. Our country's military still today dwarfs anyone else in the world, especially with regards to technology and pure horsepower. We have an arsenal of bombs that literally can erase large (HUGE) area's. Lets think like our enemy. Women are considered baby machines. Period. They reproduce. The kids that are born are being or will be taught to hate. The men are the root of the problem. The conclusion is that they are all expendable. They're all the enemy. What about the innocent's? Its the same thing as shooting a jet out of the sky because of the threat it has on the ground.
I say go over there and wipe it clean. Everything and everyone. Two hundred years from now it will still be clean. What about the worlds reaction? Most would be grateful to us for solving what has become almost everyone's problem. Maybe not publically, but they would be glad we had the balls to do it. There would be those who would act aggressive and try to flex but realistically, the message would be very simple- You dumbasses wanted to raise the bar? Bar raised.

While I understand the desire to solve the problem by hitting the reset button on the middle east. It really is just a dream that is not actually possible to accomplish.
You don't have the support in America to do it, let alone the rest of the world. If the US went in and cleaned up the middle east, Russia and China would not stay out of it, It would result in exactly what ISIS wants, a big war with lots of people getting hurt and killed so that hate and misery is expanded.

I only read the first few pages of this thread. Amazing play by play. Such confusion. Anger. Humility. Concern. Faith. Helplessness.
I remember well all of those emotions that morning.
God Bless us all...

14 years already... I was actually sitting at home, one week prior to leaving for Basic Training in the US Army. Here we are 14 years later, the Army decided to retire me early. I guess 51 months of my time in Iraq was enough. I have lost a lot of good friends thanks to those damn goat f***ers. Not only to war, but to suicide after the war. This war has and will leave a lasting mark on this country. Its too bad they had our hands tied over there with the ROE. Maybe if we put more of those pieces of **** in the ground, things would be different. Needless to say... sad day indeed.
