"Energetically told stories of some very hot spots....Anyone who enjoys an unvarnished, ground-level view of America's military doing its job will find plenty of what they're looking for here. First-person war stories served up by a participant in some of the most dangerous actions of the modern era." -- Kirkus Reviews
Synopsis
Over 100 combat missions, 24 years as a Green Beret-- Full Battle Rattle tells the legend of a soldier who served America in every war since Vietnam. Master Sergeant Changiz Lahidji served on Special Forces A teams longer than anyone in history, completing over a hundred combat missions in Afghanistan. Changiz is a Special Forces legend. He also happens to be the first Muslim Green Beret. Changiz served this country starting with Operation Eagle Claw in 1980, when he entered Tehran on a one-man mission to spy on Iranian soldiers guarding the US Embassy where 52 US diplomats were being held hostage. Three years later, he was in Beirut, Lebanon when a suicide car bomb exploded in front of the US Embassy killing 83 people. Weeks after that, he was shot by Hezbollah terrorists on a night mission. In Operation Iraqi Freedom, he led a convoy that was ambushed on its way to Fallujah. He was clearing houses in Mogadishu, Somalia on October, 1993 when a US Black Hawk helicopter was shot down 50 feet away from him in the incident that inspired Black Hawk Down . In 2002, he dressed as a farmer and snuck into Eastern Afghanistan and located Osama Bin Laden for the CIA. Along the way, Changiz earned numerous commendations, including the Special Forces Legion of Merit, Purple Hearts, and many others. Last year he was nominated for induction in Military Intelligence Hall of Fame and cited as "the finest noncommissioned officer to ever serve in Special Forces." His story is an amazing tale of perseverance and courage, of combat and one man's love of his adopted country., The helo went up about seventy feet and swooped west, when I heard a loud bang. The pilot shouted, "We've been hit! We've been hit!" Then he turned off the engine. I thought to myself: This is the end. Smoke poured from the back of the helo and we were spiraling straight down. There was not a damn thing I could do but utter a quick prayer and hold on. Seconds later we slammed the ground hard, jarring every bone, tooth, and muscle in my body. Then the bird flipped right, and I flew and smashed my head against the side door frame. Stars circled in my head. The helo lay on its side. Half-conscious, I braced myself against the seat and tried to yank the side door open, but it was stuck. Blood poured down my face. I wiped it away from my eyes and kicked the door five or six times until it jarred free and I could pull it open. Andy was unconscious, I grabbed him under my left arm and pulled him out. Then I went back for the pilot. The blade and tail of the Black Hawk had been ripped off in the crash. As I crouched on the side of the helo, trying to catch my breath, I heard a weapon discharge from a group of trees about seventy feet to my left. I pointed my M4 in that direction and returned fire. I was pissed. Blood dripped down my cheeks to my neck and chest. Rounds zinged over my head and tore into the helo beneath me. I lay on my belly and kept looking for targets and shooting. After what seemed like ten minutes, the incoming fire stopped. The other two Black Hawks had heard the SOS from the pilot and circled back. One of them landed nearby, and soldiers jumped out with their M4s ready. My colleague Garcia was with them. He found me standing in front of the downed helo, covered with blood and with a big smile on my face. He said, "Changiz, you okay?" "Yeah. Yeah." "Then why are you laughing?" "I'm laughing, man, because I'm still alive!"
