The Cold Sets In | No Man Left Behind

This day is tattooed on my brain. I've been to some of the coldest places on Earth and never experienced cold like it.

On this particular day, we came across a tank boom, which was an absolute godsend. It's earth that's been piled up on three sides, and it's for a tank to reverse into. As first light started to calm, we could see a building, and it had an antenna coming from it. There were at least two soldiers around it.

We're tracked; we can't move. Somebody's gonna have to keep an eye on these guys. I obviously fell asleep. The next moment, I came to with pins and needles on my face. Cold has a certain type of pain; it's terrifying.

Crazy, I'm going, "Dude, no, you're not. We're all cold, and you're in trouble now." It wasn't the Iraqis that were going to kill us; it was the weather.

Night fell, and that's when it hit me, and it hit me like a sledgehammer. Now, in hindsight, I didn't realize how bad everybody was. What do you really have with hypothermia? You think you're acting normally, and actually, you're making huge mistakes and not thinking straight.
