An alleged “military officer” who’s twitter handle is @TheGutterfly narrates a hair raising story about how he was ambushed by terrorists and lived to tell about it.
Okay so this one time in Mohmand Agency, we were ordered to mop up a valley (clear it off terrorists)

We were already half way inside the valley and had setup a stronghold just beyond their mortar range. @TheGutterfly

And like a good little qurbani k bakra that I was I said yessirr! @TheGutterfly
— Gov'nor (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2024
That was my first independent operation that I conducted so I was also very nervous. But I had to show my men
@TheGutterfly— Gov'nor (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2024
I was roaring and we were raising battle cries and whatnot. Okay one more thing…@TheGutterfly
— Gov'nor (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2024
Anyhoo, we crept further inside and strangely enough we weren't being raided by the fire which I was expecting. @TheGutterfly
— Gov'nor (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2024
But those conniving motherfuckers let me in further. I know what you're thinking. I had to know better. But I dint. @TheGutterfly

This is when it starts to get interesting!
Along came the infamous whizzing sound of a bullet. It nearly missed the tk comd's head and almost tore the cupola. @TheGutterfly

When u've been in war long enough u observe little things about the surroundings that come in handy. It's called minor tactics@TheGutterfly
— Gov'nor (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2024
As soon as that first bullet hit the cupola my mind had instantly generated an image of a fucking 14.5 caliber. Google it! @TheGutterfly
— Gov'nor (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2024
This is what a 14.5 caliber looks like
@TheGutterfly in a layman's terms, had it hit me, it would've torn me to pieces. So anyways..
— Gov'nor (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2024
..track of the tanks. And then guess what @TheGutterfly
— Gov'nor (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2024
When things go wrong, everything goes wrong
I shouted and cursed him at the top of my voice but the joke was on me because he couldn't hear me over the sound of intense @TheGutterfly
— Gov'nor (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2024
..the incoming. So I read nad e Ali and started running like a dog towards the line of trees some 300 meters away to my right @TheGutterfly
— Gov'nor (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2024
I was recalling those movies where the guy who's about to die gets flashes of his life and loved ones and whatnot.. @TheGutterfly
— Gov'nor (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2024
Them. I kept cursing all those movies all the while running with intense machine gun, 12.7 mm, 14.5, mortar and sniper @TheGutterfly
— Gov'nor (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2024
A battalion of non commissioned. So I escaped the first volley and jumped inside the clump. But it seemed as if they were @TheGutterfly
— Gov'nor (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2024
Now I was detached from my men completely. The FC tanks had abandoned me and had started withdrawing. @TheGutterfly
— Gov'nor (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2024
My camos were drenched in mud, knee high from running through a swamp (something I dint realise while running) @TheGutterfly
— Gov'nor (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2024
Slowing down. My worst nightmare (Because that means that they've stopped firing from distance and are closing in on you) @TheGutterfly
— Gov'nor (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2024
This is where it gets more intense
Kept running way inside the jungle. I saw a graveyard. @TheGutterfly
— Gov'nor (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2024
Of sorts… @TheGutterfly
— Gov'nor (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2024
It was to be my sanctuary for the night. Now I could hear those fuckers in the distance @TheGutterfly
— Gov'nor (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2024
My AK on my chest with its muzzle on my crotch, the weapon was unsafe and my finger in the trigger guard @TheGutterfly
— Gov'nor (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2024
Now I could hear their voices very clearly. They were speaking in Pushto and arguing about if there was one guy or two. @TheGutterfly
— Gov'nor (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2024
It started itching on my groin as they were less than 20 paces away from me @TheGutterfly
— Gov'nor (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2024
Yikes!
They kept roaming about the area for a couple of hours and went back to their hideout. @TheGutterfly
— Gov'nor (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2024
@TheGutterfly so I just pressed the pushin and kept it pressed
— Gov'nor (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2024
@TheGutterfly I kept it pressed for an hour before my CO got pissed off and got everyone's Motorola checked. And then it hit the Jarhead
— Gov'nor (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2024
@TheGutterfly so he called on the main channel, called me out and asked me to switch to channel 3 if I was listening. I did.
— Gov'nor (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2024
The end. @TheGutterfly
— Gov'nor (@TheGutterfly) April 25, 2024
Thankfully the “soldier” survived to live another day. There is no confirmation if this is a true story or not, whatever the case it was a great read!
