"... in practice it had laid a trap. They already knew that we would go there and what we did, so they waited, perhaps hidden in the same houses we had seen from the outside without going because it is forbidden. They have a sense of the war in blood and are not afraid. When it seemed all right and now without any tension and we were going to Blind They started shooting. A fire professionals, short bursts, but continuous and especially targeted and fired from many places. They were shooting from behind the houses where before there were the first inhabitants of the village and we found ourselves cut off by a wall covered with mud. Just head out tiravamo came a volley of shots. The commander was incredibly calm as she spoke on the radio but it was clear we were in a bad position, he told us to move to the left, we were too crowded. I followed the wall, my heart was pounding but I was not afraid. Suddenly, the wall which are never straight, is finished and then there was another wall-line and I found myself in the empty space between the two, the open, I saw four of them advancing to the position I had left to my right. We were surrounded. They had the RPG and were perhaps less than seventy yards from us. It 'lasted all a fraction of the time, they also have seen me and my partner and we shot together, us and them. When I look back I think I see a movie in slow motion, but it's time to shoot lasted about twenty shots with my minimum; three I saw fall quarter with the rocket launcher ran behind the houses. Suddenly they all stopped firing for a few seconds. You could hear the frantic cries from the place where he had escaped the one with the rocket launcher. I could see one of the three that we had hit on the ground, with the white shirt stained with blood, the other two could see them, one seemed to move. You could hear the groans. Then all of a sudden they started playing the guitar of Lynx (cal Browning machine guns. VTLM 12.7 mounted on the Lynx. Ed) . A large casino, the reaction was strong. For me it was the first time. I had no fear, the night I stayed but I was shaking with fatigue. I talked to the chaplain. Do not ever tell this story, is like a black and white film seen long ago. Also that day were not able to trick us. We have tried many other times but have always taken. Many of us say who made the attack by car bomb in the field with us because they always know perso.Vuoi if anything has changed? No. But sometimes I wonder why I ? "
COMMENT RESPONSE TO NUMEROUS EMAIL RECEIVED
I received many e mail discordant about this piece that has long been in the drawer and public purified reference. problem is always political. The soldiers are "even" humanitarian actions but you must accept the fact that their job is different and that the missions of peace are "inside" conflicts. hide what they do and sanitize the news, as well as be the exact opposite of the concept of democracy is an act of hypocrisy that does not pay and most importantly it is an act of cowardice against soldiers acting on behalf of Parliament and sometimes we let life or even seriously injured. Many Italian soldiers saw their shots go up to the mark and other human beings "fall" and these soldiers have a right to know that the nation understands the weighty moral significance of their commitment. Not recognizing this means accepting the fact that Parliament deemed citizens of the subjects and citizens themselves are happy and satisfied to be treated as such. RAI - the public company paid directly or indirectly by Italian citizens in exchange for information and knowledge - not a program devoted to what happens in Afghanistan and how to live and sometimes die because our kids. The SKY is a foreign company transmits in the clear only to subscribers. This angers me but it makes me understand many things.
