| Fratricide
at OP4 -- 29 January 1991 "The Ugly Side of Warfare"
|
| These
pictures show what was left of the LAV-AT and the LAV-25 that we lost on
29 January 1991 during two fratricide incidents while battling Iraqi
forces at OP4. There is a book in the works by a former Marine who
has done a ton of research into the battle of OP4 the night of 29
January 1991. These pictures are hard to look at especially for
those of us who were there and lost some of our brothers that fateful
night, however, they serve as a reminder of the cost of freedom and the
ugliness of war, especially Fracticide/ Friendly Fire/ Blue on Blue
incidents.
