Marines Getting Ready To Launch A Quick Reaction Rescue Mission Is Intense As Hell

Huge shoutout the Marines and contractors in the area who stopped a situation from getting too out of control. Being in the huddle where names are being read off felt so basic to me when I was in the middle of it.

Now that I’m out and have been for a while, it’s nearly shocking how cool, calm, and collected these young leaders are. Most of these hitters and getters are under 26. A great majority are under 23. They operate smoothly and effectively in extreme circumstances. Semper Fi, ladies and gents. We appreciate you and hope that the situation can be deescalated so our folks and civilians in Iraq don’t have to see and experience more violence.
