KUNAR PROVINCE, Afghanistan – As bullets started to rain down on Baker Company’s position, a Soldier sighed, and said, in an annoyed voice, “Well here we go.” Over the next twenty minutes the service members fired everything from bullets to curse words at the invisible enemy attacking from the surrounding hills. “Just once I’d like to come out here and not get shot at,” said an exasperated U.S. Army Sgt. Graham Mullins, of Columbia, Mo., using a four-foot stone wall for cover. “Just once.” To these Soldiers the debate back home about the war in Afghanistan means little. To them, it’s the brotherhood, born in combat, keeping these Soldiers motivated to stand shoulder to shoulder.

Bravo is as bravo does.

It takes courage and good leadership to face that sort of threat everyday
