I'm a Marine Corps Veteran and no mater what your MOS, we all have the greatest respect for Recon. I understand taking the fight to the enemy but, I don't understand stopping and becoming a stationary target. A moving target is always harder to hit.
Pretty sure they said they conducted a counter ambush drill then went to harbour up in an all round defence posture, how else could they have recovered the CAPT. It's a assumed they neutralised the threat. Pretty much SOP.
From what I’ve read stopping and taking the fight back to the enemy is actually a better tactic as trying to drive through an ambush is actually likely to end in more devastating casualties.
Becoming stationary is an easier target, but moving means you don’t know whether you drive over an IED or deeper into the ambush. Setting up a fort and give them a fight you’ll have more chance.
Curse, Americans, do not pretend to be heroes, you are just cowards and the great people of Iraq taught you a hard lesson and your invasion of Iraq failed in the end. Remember history, and you will realize that you, O Westerners, have been defeated by Muslims many times, for example in the battle of Hittin and Yarmouk and his death and the invasion of Muslims to Andalusia and the crushing of Louis IX in Egypt and his crusade and his families and sending him like a dog to his country after his wife paid the ransom And do not forget the Caliph Harun Rashid, whom you paid the tribute for fear of him and many other things, but the days revolve and revolve.

@Jay R You have no idea of what you are talking about. We rolled slow also to make sure there were no IED ahead. That was really common on the road. Just running away of the fight usually got you right at the IED that they wanted you to hit. That was their strategy all of the time.. just pop and shoot and get people running away right into a IED trap. I was there, third vehicle from the convoy. Stopping was the best we could have done.

🤔🤔 Why the Humvees don’t have doors and armored?? What do you think that they will welcome you with flowers and falafel when you invade their country???
I remember in 04 when we were training for Iraq (Germany). We conducted a variety of training exercises shooting out of a moving vehicle (day and night). We were part of OIF III (end of 05 and most of 06) so we missed the first and second battle of Fallujah. Correction, I was just getting to Germany when First AD (armored division) was coming home from a 15 month deployment. First AD got extended 3 months after the first battle of Fallujah. So I got to spend July 04 -November 05 in Germany before deploying. My battery was the only ones to deploy in battalion. We supported the 101st air borne division. While we missed the battles of Fallujah we were there for the battle of Ramadi. We had the up armored Humvees. I didn't actually take part as I was at Speicher, but between Fallujah and Ramadi those were the most intense battles of the operation.

2004....all the drones we had were shot from a slingshot and controlled by radio thru a laptop. Not exactly support. And we always had a QRF unit standing by. And we did get air support from helicopters. Just saying. And not all of the units driving around can get escorted by air support. Its was real life, not a videogame.
