Night fighting! Well sort of…

"Kharma, Iraq. August 2007.

Yeah, it was sucky.

My first night patrol last deployment was not a history making event; no pivotal battles were fought; we didn’t even detain anyone. That patrol will never even amount to a footnote in the annals of military lore. As a matter of fact I would have to say that on any given day a combat patrol through our part of the town more closely resembled a steeple chase than anything else."
