More like lighting up unarmored trucks and cleaning up with an M4 and then an AK, when he runs the M4 out of ammo. He exhibits a healthy fear of T-72s the entire book. On his second tour, he acted as an overwatch sniper when his squadron has both Bradleys and armored Hummers.
I will move Thunder Run up the to-read queue. Johnson was in 3/7 Cavalry, so some of his stuff should re-appear there.
