We built a mosque. Like I physically built a mosque with my hands. The ODA brick by brick helped build a mosque. Why? Because we wanted to build rapport with having a place of worship inside of our fire base for Afghans. It also deterred indirect fire because no terrorists wanted to be responsible for dropping a mosque in the middle of an American fire base. We had mounted the ATVs. We had RPGs that we carried with us in backpacks. And we were using Chinese made 120s to respond and react to contact. So it was truly, I think, a significant green, beret fire based mission. Did you guys have any counter battery or anything like that? None
