What is the real definition of reality? How do you know what&rsquo;s real and what&rsquo;s not?<\/p>\n<p>Just imagine this; that the sky is green and not really blue and that we all are color blind!! Just imagine that we all look like totally different beings, than what we are or what you actually see and that our brain depicts the picture that you see right now which not the real picture is. We are all but atoms and space and I think everything else is just an opinion made up by us humans and we agreed upon it, still carried on until today. Just imagine that the reality we live in is just a simulation of some advanced alien species trying to figure out what we are? What are we as complex mechanisms?&nbsp; Just remember that we always going to be just atoms and space, the rest are just an illusion to fool or to satisfy ourselves. Science is moving way ahead our expectations, take a look at quantum mechanics and quantum physics, it will blow your mind and makes you think and wonder what&rsquo;s real and what&rsquo;s not real.<\/p>\n<p>Our infiltration to Iraq went as I said smooth with no rush or encounters by the enemy, as I mentioned earlier, there were some flash backs hitting me in all directions, specially the one from training, one of the final tests in we had in our training period was to carry 50kg weight and do 60 miles which equals about 90km or a bit more in 6 hours.<\/p>\n<p>I made it all the way through, you can&acute;t Imagine the exhaustion I was in. that torturous acids burning inside my muscles and the sweat that was burning and irritating my body all over with its salty contents, it&acute;s the feeling that I got and knew I would make it but then I also thought that this is it, I will die trying to complete this test, just like Marathon when he came sprinting to the city gates of Athens to say (we were victorious) and then dropped dead, I thought I would drop dead at the end of this agonizing training, and then I saw the truck I was about to reach, it was my finishing point, my last 200 yards&#8230;&#8230;..&hellip;.150 yards&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&hellip;..100&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;50&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..&hellip;&hellip;.20&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.&hellip;&hellip;10 and then just when I was close to the truck to reach it and touch it with my trembling hands and shaking body, I heard the voice of the man who was sitting in the back of the truck waiting for me; come on old chap ye can do it, and just when I touched the truck, he tapped on truck side with his knuckles and the truck started driving away from me, not for a couple of yards, no, for another 10 miles (16km), now you see, that face was major P.T. which I will never forget for the rest of my life.<\/p>\n<p>He was also the master mind of planning all of our operation inside Iraq, the literal master mind behind all our strategic planning, and here we are taking a long walk, hiding from the enemy, which they were actually my people according to the genetic half of my blood, but in the military the ones who shoot you ,you should and have to shoot back, and these people ,those who were supporters to Saddam , am fucking happy to shoot just like am happy when I shot those fucking Taliban in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>When we reached our X point where we supposed to be, we established OP (observation point) and waited for further orders, the wait was long, and when I say it was long I mean it was days, staying in one spot all days long, without making the slightest move, observing constantly, when the night falls we get a bit of freedom of moving around, switching shifts, and do your daily needs.<\/p>\n<p>We recognized after eight days that they had something hidden in those bunkers of high value, we contacted our superiors, and made the call for the sabotage and the attack, but we were on our guard, afraid that the bunkers may contain some high level radio activity or some nasty biological weapons, so we had to put our full protection gear from those things during our attack, again the SAS proved their mark and showed us the perfect way or ways to go around to plan the attack and the siege on the bunkers ways beyond our knowledge and proved to us again as usual who was the best in this skill and profession.<\/p>\n<p>The attack went as smooth as possible, we cleared the whole area within 4 to 5 minutes, took what we wanted to have, sabotaged the bunkers with some semtex &nbsp;(C4) plastic explosives, and when we were about 2 kilometers or a bit of one mile away, we pressed the detonators, sending the bunkers down to the ground with the blast that made the bunkers sink on itself,.<\/p>\n<p>we used the SATNAV a device to tell exactly where we were, you can use the Qcode or the Pcode, the P code is accurate within 10 yards(about 3 meters) but it needed four satellites of the American satellites NAVSTAR to be above the horizon in the same time, Q code need only two satellites which was the one we used but it&acute;s accurate within 100 yards (about 30 meters or more), to call our rendezvous , and to be ready for the pick up back to our base.<\/p>\n<p>A chopper came to pick us up at 3.30 in the morning, as it lifted off; I had that weird feeling, that eerie sensation around me, that this is my father&rsquo;s country, a country that was messed up by some crazy people who just wanted the power, but I couldn&rsquo;t believe it that here I am, doing some dark spec ops (special operations) in this country, the feeling I still have until now, whenever I talk about Iraq, sometimes I get speechless, some stuff still until today haunts me, some bits and pieces&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;.!?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reality &hellip;&hellip;!!?
