Military / Defense / Military slang | | English term or phrase: get the Brads to drop rads | This phrase appears in the radio transmissions between the units engaged in the July 12th, 2007 Baghdad airstrike.
There is about half a dozen units talking on top of each other on the same frequencies, so it's not always clear who's talking to who. Here is a little excerpt:
20:14 Roger, we got a little girl who needs to be evaced. What's your location over?
20:22 On route Gadins, I am all the way to the south. So I am Gadins and Fifth Street.
20:28 I say again Gadins and Fifth Street, over.
20:40 Bushmaster Seven; Hotel Two-Six. Do you want us to push to your location?
20:55 Hey, uh, I need to get the Brads to drop rads I got a wounded little girl we need to take her off the maya.
21:04 Bushmaster Seven; Hotel Two-Six. Do you want us to move to your location over?
21:30 Bushmaster Six; Hotel Two-Six over.
21:34 Hotel Two-Six; this is Bushmaster Seven. Roger, come to our location.
21:39 Okay, roger, we're coming up north on Gadins and then we will push east to your location.
22:06 Bushmaster elements be advised we have friendlies coming from the south to your location. Over.
The Brad would be the Bradley armored transport, but I have no idea what it needs to drop.
All help is appreciated. Grazie! |

| Grading comment In effetti la trascrizione in Inglese su cui sto lavorando è alquanto approssimativa, ma ho visto il video più volte e sembrava davvero che dicesse "drop rads".
Tuttavia "drop ramps" mi sembra accurato, perché hanno bisogno di scendere le truppe se vo
