Great people serving our country. I'd rather Ted Kennedy explode than one of these men get a hangnail.
shhhhhh.....don't tell Chris Matthews they are IED's.
SEMPER FI AND GODSPEED.
“I was walking along, sweeping the fields, when I got a big hit,” explained Lance Cpl. Patrick Jernigan, a combat engineer with 2nd Platoon, Company A, 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion. “I kicked the dirt around a little bit, and I saw a bag sticking out, so I pulled it out. That’s when I saw the IED with some wires hanging out of it, sitting inside the bag.”
Whoa!!!! I hope he at least covered his ears before he did that!
Looks like Marine Smith has something a bit better then a Whites Coinshooter... Wonder if they find anything 'fun' (old coins, Ted Kenedy's spine or the like)
BUMP!
