Stop in for a cup of coffee

That's a hell of a way to get out of it!
I didn't want out of it. And like I said, haunts me to this day. My unit got hit hard. The unit was hit heavy and often. They split the unit , 1 Platoon did Personal security details, the other 2 rotated between convoy security and foot patrols in the Sunni Triangle of death. Not everyone came back on their own, some came back in a box.
