Michael Perry, the squad leader of the unit I’ll follow during the operation. "It’s going to be just like another operation. These guys come, we're getting shot at, and we maneuver on them and kill them. They’re going to fight us, they always do. They’ll stay and fight you. They will shoot you when you egress on your way out, after you think you killed them. You maneuver more toward them and they will attack you again. These guys definitely stay in the fight." - Photo by Balazs Gardi (@balazsgardi) for #basetrack #USMC #OEF #TIMEVets #VETSrising #VETSday2014 #VeteransDay2014 #everydayUSAvets by everydayusa
