Following is excerpted from messages received from 1LT Marcus Lai in FOB Blessing on 7/27/10:
" There's a giant boulder blocking the alternate route from our supply convoy.... An IED is blocking the main route. Its been raining here the past two days and the roads are collapsing to our east and west... we probably won't be getting anything anytime soon!
We had to evac a local dude today and convinced a hospital to take him....turns out he had tuberculosis... I think we've just ruined the entire AO for taking local nationals. We saved his life, if not made life more difficult for us..."
They should do an air drop!
