We ran everywhere. Out of four civilian embeds with 1/506th, 101st Airborne, I was one of them. Of the remaining three, two were sniped. One was filming while the other -- I'm not making this up -- was taking a PORTRAIT photo outside the wire AFTER there had already been shooting. He got shot twice but, worse, the sergeant who had to haul his ass back to cover also got shot. Hell, in Ramadi at it’s worst, you didn’t dare stay 30 seconds in one place without cover.
