I was in the 2PPCLI Battle Group, during Medusa in Panjwaii. I was a Coyote driver. It's fucking insane that someone else who's been to Kandahar is on the board, though!
Panjwaii . . . Never got out that way, but I read the summaries.
It's not utterly improbable, but it is grounds for a verse of "It's a Small World After All".
