Comments: 3rd Plt. was the eyes and ears for the BLT. We where at different checkpoints throughout Beirut, I was at checkpoint #51 Murphy Mannor, where the infamous Goattila massacare took place, we where on a night patrol through the Hooterville and SSGT Smerf got spooked and open fired on a goat, so being a hard corps squad leader I followed in suit, all 13 of us full auto, man there was goat all over. Yea we got shot at from time to time but we were lucky not to be there for the big one, but we had seen the place go from super quiet to verry hostile, we new it was just a matter of time before the pressure cooker blows, heck, even the Isrealis were shooting at us. Any who remember me, please send e-mail.
