I never want to read or hear that the Air Force is a wussy branch of the service. The last four posts I posted have been about Air Force heroes, giving their life, or putting their life in danger to rescue or help fellow service members. This is another Air Force hero.
LEWIS-McCHORD, Wash. — Their mission was to restore electricity to Kabul, Afghanistan — but they ended up in a 14-hour firefight, with one Airman turning the tide of the battle.

I know a few AF boys that are tough as granite, and a few I know that are tough as sand stone, all in all they're all pretty good guys.

SGT David A. 'Cowboy' Groth - Oh good. I'm glad he wasn't hit. Napalm is not a good friend to anything in it's way. It stinks too.

SGT David A. 'Cowboy' Groth - It's a jelly like substance mixed with gasoline, I think. I know it sticks to whatever it hits.

All the ODA team's we supported over in Afghanistan had at least one TACP or SOWT. One team we spent a lot of time with out in the middle of no where Eastern Afghanistan, their SOWT was one of their two Team snipers (over-watch).He let use shoot his bad ass rifles, and yes he had a Barrett. The team used him just like he was of them, it is cool being around those guy's everyone is professional,and treated like grown ups, no Micromanagement.

I'm very proud of all of our Military units. They all pull their own share of the war.
