data for: 2008, U.S. troops in Iraq after being attacked by insurgents killed several U.S. soldiers

if, just if.

in our passage of time in a linear world, despite how the assumptions of the place already occurred. In the March 23, 2003 early morning darkness, nine of the life and death so sad to depend on truck drivers to turn left or right to switch between the flash read.

2006 end of the year, the retired Philadelphia policewoman Jane Figgins received the War Department sent New Year’s gift is the son of the killed notice. Notice reads: In December 2006, Private First Class Albert Nelson was fighting in Ramadi in Iraq militants killed by the 120 mm mortar.

few months later, Figgins began to hear rumors that her son did not die of an opponent, but when she asked the Department of the Army when the answer is always “the investigation is ongoing . “twists and turns, Figgins from her son’s commander Sergeant Jack Robinson received a period of up to 52 and a half minutes of live video. So she witnessed on screen son’s death.

video display, December 4, 2006, Nelson as the U.S. Army 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Battalion, 9th Infantry Regiment, Company D 2 rows of soldiers took part in the la Di battle. In the by-room sweep of the battle, Nelson was ranked the 1st Armored Division 1st Brigade Combat Team, an M1A2 tank attack. After the tank gun muzzle flash, two rows of buildings occupied by the gas explosion drowned in the waves and the sky of dust. Nelson’s left leg from the shrapnel will opt for slashing the top of the knee, and injured his head. Nelson immediately hemorrhagic shock, medics bandaged after he sent an emergency ambulance, but he ultimately did not quite go to the hospital because of excessive bleeding in an ambulance drove into the hospital door and swallowed air.

Biniersen even more tragic is with him standing on the roof of the 22-year-old Florida man Roger Suarez – Gonzalez. When his comrades found him, he, or his body, 1/2 lying in the yard next door. Roger was almost a direct tank shell hit his limbs disappeared in the explosion, the remaining head and bloody body was thrown from the roof air waves 10 meters away.

this helmet video camera filmed the field are not always recognized by the Pentagon, officials still insist on claiming Iraqi mortars killed two young men. For the old age of Figgins, the do not know a Bronze Star Medal digestion can linger all day in her son’s ear pain groan; digestion rest of his life that will be accompanied by her 52 and a half of brutal images.

If two rows in that house was not; if the tank is responsible for supporting the infantry and timely communication, indicating the position; Nelson and Suarez would not have such a tragic death. It seems no matter how advanced science and technology, how advanced the technology, will never be able to avoid accidental injury. According to statistics, during the Gulf War, there were 28 cases of U.S. friendly fire incidents, 614 people in the total number of casualties, friendly fire accounted for 17%. 147 soldiers killed, 35 people were killed by U.S. troops themselves, accounting for 24% of the total number killed! This means that as long as a war on, it will have some life back in their own people at gunpoint, to fill the statistical percentage.

Medal with multiple

2005 年 4 月 5, 11-year-old David Anthony Smith, the mother, accompanied by his life Boer Jeter first came to the White House. U.S. President George W. Bush put a part of his father’s Congressional Medal of Honor awarded to him. This is the only one war, Vietnam War, after the third gold, since its inception in 1861, serving 64 million U.S. military personnel, only 3,500 people to enjoy this award.

Office of the White House set off a huge David exceptionally short. Just this total in Texas who appear on television, countless news reporters audience unfamiliar face, flash, microphone, black body suit also let David know what to do. He brought a dark brown wooden box mounted on the Congressional Medal of Honor yard, look confused.

President met with the White House honors, which for a 11-year-old children who may be too heavy. He could not know the meaning of Congressional Medal of Honor, it is impossible to know what is war. However, the father was inside a small box instead of cold metal, which is definitely not what he wanted.

2003 年 4 4, U.S. Army 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division arrived in Baghdad Saddam forward troops into the airport. R · Paul Smith and his company occupied the airport leading to Saddam’s a four-lane highway. Bo Smith’s comrade recalls Minkowski war: “very, very quiet, about every two minutes there will be gunfire sounded, but that sporadic gunfire, so giving a weird and eerie feeling, and we realized that the Iraqis will be shocked the hell, they wake up they will find that Americans have been surrounded. “

the middle of the highway buffer zone, both sides have built high walls, seriously affecting U.S. perspective, so Smith provoke an armored vehicle broke into a big hole in the wall. The other side of the wall he found a yard. Then he ordered: to prepare a temporary shelter so prisoners held recently captured Iraqis. Smith selected the yard, but when the armored personnel carrier broke the courtyard, he was terrified, the door is the dozens of Iraqi Republican Guard soldiers. Both sides immediately fierce fighting, a skirmish begins. Republican Guard not only Smith and his companions stop at the gate, also occupies a road overlooking the courtyard and the towers, the U.S. military has been tightly suppressed fierce fire: break open the door of the armored vehicles were hit by rockets, three people were injured . Come to the support of a lighting of the M2 infantry fighting vehicles and ammunition, and could not move. Worse, once these Republican Guard, rushed out from the yard, you can calmly toward the U.S. military command, and hit from the side volume mortar positions, and news correspondent wounded temporary shelters will also be a direct threat to the resident .

Smith may not know, he could only see his platoon suffered heavy casualties, the company where he faces the danger of being defeated. In that moment, the 36-year-old California man, a father of two, made a surprise move. His comrade Dmitry La later recalled: “I and others are busy injured colleague from the wrecked armored vehicles in the transfer out, when Smith jumped holding 12.76 mm heavy machine gun was damaged armored vehicles top, we look to end, I think he told me goodbye. “

after U.S. Department of Defense statistics, Smith killed Iraqi soldiers were about 20-50. More importantly, the use of Smith’s cover of fire, Dmitry La, who successfully solved the water tower on the Iraqi crisis lifted. In this intense ten minutes, the roof of the Smith poured into 300 rounds of ammunition to the Iraqi army, at the same time, he also ushered in the almost inevitable fate – out of the middle of an AK-47 bullets, face the door, almost lift the head have been flying half.

Smith with his life in exchange for the highest honor the U.S. Armed Forces. The Pentagon’s announcement was full of praise, he was described into a perfect soldier, a symbol of American spirit.

to maintain respect for the dead is a human virtue, but we also believe that, at that hair’s breadth of time, Smith’s mind is certainly not to make contributions of these sub-Laus, but there would be no Congressional Medal, his best sad-wing . He just have to assume the responsibility to someone, just wanted to save his comrades colleague. As the evaluation of his comrades: “Not everyone can do such a thing, he did because he knew that if not so dry, we will be massacred.”

as a foot soldier in the This can not control their own destiny in the war, and rely on each other comrades, their only able to do.

same is true of Rafael Peralta, 15 November 2004, in a private house in Fallujah, Peralta will be seriously wounded Iraqi soldiers threw a grenade under pressure in his chest, saved the lives of two comrades.

25-year-old in 士佩拉尔塔 April 9, 1979 Born in Mexico City, is the home of the eldest son, followed his parents emigrated to the United States, get a green card later joined the Marine Corps, during service formally become a U.S. citizen.

2004 年 11 15, when Ren Haijun 3rd Marine Expeditionary Force 1st Battalion, Company A 3 reconnaissance regiment captain of the Peralta participated in the second battle of Fallujah, Battle of code ” Phantom Goddess. ”

in house to house cleaning operations. Peralta with his platoon burst into a building. 1 The first two rooms are empty, when he opened the third door, hiding in the house of Iraqi militants suddenly opened fire, Peralta was immediately sent several AK-47 bullet through the chest and abdomen. Him on the floor, make every effort to climb up the side, so as not to hinder his comrades returned fire behind. At this time, a grenade thrown over, the room is small, the Marines have been impossible to withdraw to. Dying of Peralta exhausted last effort to seize the rocket grenade it down to the body. Explosion blast him Xiandao almost empty, Peralta died on the spot, but his body to block almost all the shrapnel, saved the lives of two fellow soldiers.

same heroic, Peralta received only a second-level honors – the Navy Cross. By the California State Assembly 鲍勃费尔勒 request Congressional Medal of Honor award Peralta the proposal in the September 17, 2008 Defense Secretary Robert Gates was ruthless dismissed. The reason is the same audit team’s experts concluded that Peralta is not the final move to suppress the grenade out of a state of consciousness is certainly under active behavior. This decision was the Peralta family, the Marine Corps, and Congress in the California Hispanic Group outcry.

these disputes and protests, Peralta heard was gone, he is now lying on the San Diego National Cemetery in Fort Ross Crane. Ye Hao Congressional Medal of Honor, Navy Cross, worth mentioning, can not afford to life when the weight ……
