My friend a truckdriver at the lumberyard, used to be in the service and one mission he had was to be dropped into Iraq and disrupt the communication lines there. He said they were dropped into the area and were supposed to dig in for the night, but the ground was too hard so instead they found a ditch and hid there. He said while there, along comes a goat and a boy tending to it not far behind, also a convoy of Iraqi vehicles coming down a nearby road. They said they were thinking about killing the goat and the boy so they wouldn't be found out, but instead they all took off running westward toward Syria missing their rondevous point. I think he said it took them 3 days and 40 or 50 miles on foot to get to the safety of Syria at the time.
He also had one of where he was in Libya where they were doing house to house fighting, and he said his friend came out of one house where he killed about a half dozen enemy, the last one with a pen to the throat cuz he was out of ammo... I give this guy tremendous respect for where he's been and what he's done. And he's got some of the most interesting war stories I've ever heard...
