It was a dark and stormy night. Why we have to do this tonight, that is beyond me. Ask our squad deputy commander Joongsa Kim, equivalent to a Warrant Officer of my homeland, about the reason. I had my reason: It was stormy tonight, and to me, that was enough to feel like stepping out of the mission. As a member of the Joint Task Force 2, I was trained to withstand the dark, and so would have my American comrade Sergeant Hunter, who is from the well-known Delta Force, and the South Korean soldiers Warrant Officer Kim and Sangbyeong Jung, equivalent to a Corporal of the Canadian Armed Forces, who are from the 707th Special Operations Battalion. The one thing we all have in common is that storms are uncommon in our home countries. At least where we come from and where we were trained, they are. So obviously, none of us were good in …show more content…
Are you aware that I was planning to deploy you in 5 minutes? The entire Silent Cougar squad has to delay 30 minutes because of you! You will be deployed at 21:04, sharp. No exceptions this time! I will come back in 20 minutes to ensure everything is alright. Go explain!” Then Warrant Officer Kim says back with the loudest voice I have heard him say, “Yes, sir!” Then he immediately turns around and brings 2 maps out of his pockets. He gives one of them for me and Sergeant Hunter to use, and takes the other for him and Corporal Jung. Then he explains that the bomb-like objects the workers brought from supply is actually a bomb. It looked a lot like a TNT, and had a LCD display that was off at the time. He explains: “So, this is our plan. Master Corporal Haynes and Sergeant Hunter, as I told you before, you will go to area Alpha-Juliet 8 and we will go to Alpha-Kilo 1. The reason is because the hangars of the North Koreans are placed in the two areas. These hangars have the Chengdu J-7s, the North Koreans’ main fighters, so it will deal a significant amount of damage, both physically and mentally, if we
This continues to show us how reckless and sloppy America was with its plan for the bomb. Document D talks about a story of a survivor who experienced the attack at an early age in his classroom. He states " It is hard to tell, his skull was cracked open, his flesh was hanging out from his head. He has only one eye left, and it was looking right at me... he told me to go away."
By late afternoon two assaults had been repelled and Charlie and Alpha Companies had arrived along with elements from Delta Company which was the heavy weapons squad and standing by on reserve. During one assault on the perimeter Delta Company suffered heavy losses including one platoon leader. A mist off all the chaos only two medivac helicopters managed to land and evacuate casualties, instead it was the assault ships that landed with reinforcements that evacuated the wounded from the battle. Meanwhile a second assault was organized to try and link up with the cut off platoon but was soon repelled by enemy forces.
“[We’d have to become] extremely aggressive and we couldn’t afford to take ny more causalities” [ Belknap, 57] Lieutenant William Calley, Jr. Later testifies. After the “impromptu funeral for Sergeant Cox,”[ Belknap, 57] Captain Ernest Medina held a briefing that explained the group were to go on a search and destroy mission the next morning after being tipped off my intelligence reports and that by the time they arrive all innocent civilians should have left for the market.
This means that it is a fertilizer-based bomb that is commonly used among countries like Iraq and Pakistan to create weapons that need to be constructed near the target area. The 1300-pound bomb was placed in a van and delivered to the world trace center around noon. Eyad Ismoil then lit the 20-foot long fuse and then fled the scene. The explosion blew nearly a 100-foot hole in the base of the north tower and killed 6 people instantly.
I used intellectual courage to look at the big picture. I had nothing but negative thoughts about the deployment and wanted to send people home as soon as possible. However, my colleague reminded me of some of the upcoming operations we may potentially play a part in and there was a high probability we’d be tasked. I knew that if I set my guys home, one of the Quick Reaction Team’s (QRT) in the AOR would have to pick up the slack, and my team was strategically located in country and had the proper qualifications.
Day 1 I got lost out in the wilderness. My heart fueled my body with adrenalin, so much that I couldn’t stop shaking. My actions today put everyone in my squad in great danger, and I hate myself for it. We were all so excited for Saturday when we finished up our patrol.
Atomic Bomb DBQ - Ben Fernandez Imagine waking up and getting ready for the day. Go walking on the way to work and a plane goes overhead. Looking up and see a small thing attached to a parachute get dropped from the plane. All the sudden the sky erupted in flames.

“Sargent on deck!” The other females and I yelled in sync as the officers walked into our pod. There were twenty-one of us standing with our faces towards the wall and our hands behind our backs. This was a shakedown. Frozen and silent, I stood there listening as the officers ram sacked through my belongings.

The light of the screen illuminated his face. Feverishly, he began typing. More then thirty miles away from the mans location, two disguised mechanical doors opened, flawing the flat desert ground. A mechanical sound, almost like gears, began, and a gray object arose,with disruptions of white along its length in a pattern, pointing straight up. With a cylindrical body and coned top, it was unmistakably a missile.
