Another very common thing that happens here in Mosul, that you're guaranteed to hear every night, are the sounds of gunfire and loud explosions going off somewhere in the city. When I first got to Iraq, those sounds would alarm me, and I would think to myself, "Oh shit! People are trying to kill each other," but now when I hear them, I think "Huh. I wonder what's going on there."

Back in my day we all knew that “it’s the other guy who going to get it”. When we heard firing that wasn’t directed at us we would kick back and say that “The other guy is getting it”.
That worked fine until it was discovered that to half a million people, I was “the other guy”.
