It was 18:00 when we were allowed to doze off. The night was more peaceful than expected, but it was scorching hot.
I was awoken two hours latter to a noise at first I thought it was nothing. A couple of minutes later bullets were ripping through the wall like paper. All hell broke lose alarms were going crazy, the beat of helicopters were drowning out the sound of gunshot. BOOM! Is all I heard a wall was blown out of the base. 10 taliban rushed the fort at killed anyone who resisted. Only 5 of us survived. Little did I know this was only the beginning of the tourment I would endure.
