This happened back in March but it didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get nearly enough exposure considering the remarkable job these National Guard soldiers did.<\/p>\n
Short Version:<\/strong> Seven Americans (with three wounded) killed in total 24 heavily armed enemy, wounded 6 (two later died), and captured one unwounded, who feigned injury to escape the fight. They seized 22 AK-47s, 6x RPG launchers w\/ 16 rockets, 13x RPK machineguns, 3x PKM machineguns, 40 hand grenades, 123 fully loaded 30-rd AK magazines, 52 empty mags, and 10 belts of 2500 rds of PK ammo.<\/p>\n Of the 7 members of Raven 42 who walked away, two are Caucasian Women, the rest men-one is Mexican-American, the medic is African-American, and the other two are Caucasian-the great American melting pot.<\/p>\n
\nNational Guard soldiers from the Richmond, Ky.-based 617th Military Police Company get ambushed. Remember theses are weekend warriors (obviously well trained and highly motivated).<\/p>\n
