Their wasn't enough nationals to drive all the hmmwvs back so half are security had to drive the other ones too. It was chaos. I saw more wrecks that night then ever in my whole life. I don't think most this guys ever drove before in there life, and we lost a good number of them before we made it back. Plenty that did make it there where busted up too. We had a couple close calls ourselfs as I remember getting whipped around like a rag doll up top as my driver evaded a couple accidents. You just kept going no matter what and never stopped to see how anyone was. It was just pieces of automobiles shattered all over the highway. I felt sorry for the Kuwaiti's, I sure they never got a warning a bunch of people who couldn't drive where going turn their highway into a autobrahn/demolition derby.
Crazy story man. I love it!

Yeah, another point I have to add was I had never fired or worked with a M2HB before or anything in a turrent ring. But they just said "here you go". Thankfully we had a couple guys from a CATT team in are security team that told me I have to cock the weapon and then quater cock it after that. I was like "why"? They tried to explain, but I said "f--k it, I'll cock it twice". They said "yeah that works too, just do that".
