It's not so hard to talk about anymore. I never directly killed anyone. They shot at us, my radar saw it and reported it, HQ made the calls and the artillery shot.

Two of the guys in the truck got wounded when we were blown up. They all survived. It just took out my duffel bag full of uniforms behind me in the trunk of the hummer. The funny thing is the bomb was hidden under trash and we ended up with some guy's underware hanging from the tip of our antenna. owned.gif



here's a good video of what my job consited of when I was in iraq... You can see the bad guys shooting mortars at the base and then the artillery returned fire. They call radar "the eyes of the battlefield"
