.Samarra- from infamous to just plain famous
"Samarra, Iraq-
When Charlie Company of 2nd Battalion/327th Infantry or "No Slack" as they're known, rolled into Samarra on their first patrol this past October, it felt like they'd entered the jaws of hell.
They caught machine gun fire from several directions at once, and chased insurgents straight into an IED trap, according to SFC Joseph Rain, of Hennessey, Oklahoma.
“I loved the first four months,” Sgt. Andrew Hayes of Alpena, MI said. “We got shot at everyday. Granted someone could get hurt, but it went by quick.”
“I didn’t fire a single shot in Kirkuk (last deployment),” Hayes said. “Here, I fired my weapon the first week.”
But the shooting has since declined precipitously."
