Reading about this ambush is almost exactly like reading a description of a Nazi wolfpack attacking an Allied convoy during the Second World War. The first shot takes out the closest escort and the badguys swarm in before the remaining goodguys can recover.

Fortunately, in this case, the goodguys were ready and waiting.

Must have been real embarrassing, to say the least, to explain to Allah how you had been "Killed by a Girl". :)

Outstanding in every respect! Awesome for any soldier to attain the Silver Star.

The Chauvinist pig in me wants to know where they pinned the medal (ducking and covering).

Impressive, to be sure. But does it rise to the Silver Star level of chasing a wounded VC behind a hooch and dispatching him? /sarcasm off
