Stories about war

Let's talk about stories and anecdotes from wars throughout history.

One of my favorite ones go like this:
>US soldiers on patrol inna sandbox
>suddenly under fire from nearby hills
>take cover and call in air strike
>once in a while a gunshot different sounding from the others will ring out
>the shot will hit eerily close to their position
>after the airstrike they go to clean up and find a bunch of hajis with AK's
>but there's also one old-ass man with a Mosin, SMLE, or similar ancient bolt-action rifle who was the one who'd been taking the good shots at them
>sometimes it'd even be a Martini-Henry that they'd used to pin them down

The jezail spirit lives on.

    An old neighbor/family friend had served on the western front and had a story about one of those "Look the enemy in the eye and let them go" stories. This was during the battle of the Hurtgen forest. Later he would be wounded, continue serving in Germany and while administering some mine or something would marry a local.
    Meeting this guy 50 years after the fact you would've never guessed that he had taken part in some of the most brutal battles in our history. Very kind old man, he would tell me these stories while teaching me Chess of all things.
    Will GWOT vets 50 years from now be telling their stories to their grandchildren? I doubt it. Something to think about

      Depends on who controls the government and media in 50 years. Notice how all those Afghanistan movies basically stopped once we pulled out? The government and their slaves in Hollywood don't want to make themselves look bad, so they're not gonna highlight losses. If actual human beings control things, it'll probably be tolled like Vietnam, lost by the suits

        There is literally a new Afghanistan movie coming out. They’ve never had issues about making movies about Vietnam either.

          Then I'm wrong, hopefully it talks about how the morons in the MIC and government (basically the same) drew it out and then lost it

    Is that a dude wearing a chest rig made by sewing a bunch of those old ALICE compass/bandage pouches together? I love those old tribal guys, they're like Indians but just want to be left to their own little devices

      Good question actually. I was about to say it is a local variation of the SKS bandolier, but dropped 15 minutes into researching it at it could be THIS ww1-vintage BAR 1918 bandolier. Or a local copy, of course.

        I doubt it, Afghans pefered German, Czech, some French, and especially British equipment in the interwar period. If you look on his left side, the strap even has a British-style metal cover on the end of it. Also, the snap placement on the pouches and the canvas over the pouches' edges look just like ALICE pouches. If its all locally produced, its good, but I think they just used what was available at their local bazaar or what they had laying around. The general fit of it was probably based off of an SKS bandolier, though, since I know for a fact they've made their own copies of it

          I looked into British, Indian, Pakistani, soviet and Chinese bandoliers. Didn't find one 100% match. The most puzzling element are the shiny buttons. If you can find one sample beside that single photo showing the same bandolier I'll be quite interested.

      It looks like a faded OD green bandolier. See the little blotch of green on the left pouch, his right? I think the buttons were once black (paint or finish) and they wore shiny. IIRC they're usually brass (on US equipment) though which confuses me. The yellow-y fringe reminds me of a bag I have which I never ID'd due to laziness (and hope isn't just chinkshit). Maybe WWI era? Those lines stitched into the pouches really remind me of WWII era US canteen pouches. Maybe I'm just moronic and it's a really obvious and common bandolier.

    Question to you guys who served in the desert:

    Is there ever any interaction with the local women? You see that pop up in every other war with brothels and shit popping up and people bringing home war brides. Did anything like that happen with Afghan/Iraqi women? or is the islamic culture potent enough to have that not happen at all?
