...over the radio: "If you see anyone standing outside of a building, consider it hostile intent and fire at will." "As soon as I can see a building I'll let you know," retorted the gunner. A vicious exchange of gunfire echoed from below the post, silenced only by roar of mortars hitting the insurgent's suspected firing positions. Then all was still. The thin, wavering sound of the call to prayer lifted from the village below. Still, the soldiers could see nothing. They had no idea if they had been able to defeat their enemy...
