“As we were running low on ammo, my 1st Sgt said ‘If you have a bayonet or a knife get ready, we’re going hand-to-hand if these guys overrun this compound.’ And in my mind I was like ‘y’know what, I’m going to smoke a guy, get his AK and fight with that. And if we go hand-to-hand, Hadj is pretty small. We’re good.’” – Nick Irving
