The Middle East is no stranger to unusual stories. Places like Ramadi, Fallujah, cities that saw

some of the heaviest fighting in the war. You hear things,

from locals and from the guys who were there. And when you start digging into those accounts,

a pattern starts to form. Not clean, not easy to explain. Just things that don't quite make sense.
