Today we are going to kill Americans. That was the warning to shopkeepers in Ramadi's marketpIace on April 6, 2004. Insurgents meant what they said. They intended to harm any and aIl members of Echo Company--part of the Second Battalion of the 4th MarineRegiment. Ramadi, a Sunni stronghold and former Saddam power base in the Anbar province, is one of the most dangerous places in lraq. Resistance there is fierce. "The Magnificent Bastards" as the 2-4 is caIled, bore the brunt of hatred and rage as they were ambushed in a weII-planned attack. We chronicIe the 2-4's struggle for survivaI whiIe under fire--everywhere and all at once--from an enemy that couldn't be seen. AK-47s, machine guns, and rocket-propelled grenades exploded aIl around. About 50 insurgents positioned themseIves on the roofs of one-story buiIdings and in between market staIIs. The next week-and-a-haIf would be bIoody and deadIy. |
