Why because I support the Gold Star Families against this game? My DD214, my retired military ID, awards, the orders giving me permission to wear 1stMARDIV combat patch say different.

F Troop, 4th Cavalry(BRT) was there and I was with them as a dismount team leader. Was 2 blocks away when SSG Bell was getting his MOH. Want to see my NCOER for that deployment?

Not sure what positive identification means. Does that mean you had to make sure the unknown was an enemy before engaging?

Recon, your going around telling people ROE was weapons free, if you we're there, you'd know different. What area we're you holding? I know where "your" unit was.

Our orders were do not kill civilians, but all the civilians left the city and only insurgents were left. So if only insurgents left in the city...LTC Newel told us this.

Thank you mate! Saved me trouble searching the web. I guess Recon either had bad intel or a bad colonel because civilians were definitely in the city

I'm not apologizing for wanting this game canceled, but I served and was in Operation Phantom Fury. I'll gladly show DD214, Retired ID, Orders showing every battle I was in during OIFII

Well, I guess explains your "there were no civilians argument". Maybe you had either bad intel or a colonel that was a bit to fired up.
