Here's a pretty amazing story. Three soldiers who survived an RPG (Rocket Propelled Grenade, bazooka in other words) attack, one of which is in our own Battalion. One got hit square on the chest, it didn't explode. Luck SOB. One got hit on the FACE and now looks like Chucky, not as lucky but still fortunate SOB. I don't know how true the stories of these two are, but judging by the third incident which happened to our own A co. guys last week, I'm a believer. Our guy's a gunner on a humvee, and got hit on the head by an RPG and bounced off exploding nearby. It cracked his helmut in half and took a piece of his ear with it. This guy insists the next day he's ok and wants to go back out, but we think he's just pissed, not about his ear but the loss of his new CD player and collection of CD's that got burnt up, crazy SOB! If I was an insurgent and see these guys get back up after hits like that, I'd just give up then and there, but not before I get a refund for the RPG's.
