So the other day we get a mission that is less than 15 miles outside of the wire. There was virtually no chance of enemy contact on this one. This was a welcomed change for us because of some of our more recent missions which got a little rough. It turns out that this short mission took us right into wadi* country, and we kept getting stuck. The whole thing took more than 8 hours.
