We had long suspected enemy activity in the bottoms in the Southwest portion of the county. Although we'd never seen the enemy face to face during previous operations, we always knew he was there, lurking, and watching us with his beady little eyes, smiling with a sinister toothy grin.
Earlier this afternoon an enemy scout made his way into our sector. Jason was the first to make a positive ID. The enemey was closing in from our 9 o'clock, and apparently meant business, as he completely ignored the gunfire that was going on all around him.
As he entered my peripheral vision, I had to think quickly. Could this be just a scout, or could he be on a suicide mission, determined to draw first blood from us. I had heard stories of their savage behavior, and decided to take no chances. I had my 9mm side arm in my hand, having just sent 5 or 6 rounds down rage, but decided I needed something with a bit more power to be sure to stop him in his tracks.
I picked up my AR-15, and quickly chambered a 5.56 M193 round from the 30rd magazine. The range was about 15 yds, and he was moving from left to right at a slow pace. I think he was attempting to flank us. I put the sights on his head and pulled the trigger as he crossed our 12 o'clock. The round found its mark, stopping the insurgent possum in his tracks. He was still alive, and his toothy mouth was wide open in a defiant scowl. I squeezed off 5 more rounds into his head and torso, to make sure he was dead.
After the smoke cleared, the possum was still twitching, so I grabbed my sidearm and moved in closer. Three more shots to the upper chest and there was no more movement.
This was obviously a very experienced soldier (or just one of the most stupid), as it was quite possibley the largest possum I've ever seen. He was approximately 3' long from snout to tail, and probably weighed every bit of 20 lbs. His tail was about as thick as heavy garden hose, and his "boy parts" were about the size of 1/2 dollars.
Part of winning any war is using propaganda to your advantage. Included in this After Action Report are pictures of the enemy combatent after he was eliminated. Let this be clear message to future enemy possums that we are in firm control of the territory in Southwestern Jackson County. Future enemy attacks will be met with an equvalent amount of lethal force, and may result in even larger caliber weapons being deployed.

Your story was running through my mind afterwards! I have to say I was fully clothed at the time, and was wearing boots.
