Thanks for the comments. I am new to posting and I'm not familiar with the various acronyms. Can you explain "LOL"?
With regards to the story's accuracy, Sergeant Major Welsh's integrity is impeccable.
Some folks here...at FR....sometimes question new posters or are suspicious of their reports or details of their reports....
..LOL, means....laughing out loud...
We welcome you here to FR....but you may have to grow a thick skin as this is an open forum and people can ask almost anything.
Thank-you for this detailed report!!!
As you can see (plausibly, at least) in post # 5, there are 2200 lb VBIED's and there are 1000 kilo IED's......I guess we should get after the Syrians and Iranians for supplying their muzzlim jihaddi brothers with sugar, charcoal, and sulfur. /s
Pardon my skepticism re the terminology used.....there seems to be zero shortage of military explosives available to the enemy in Iraq....On that premise I stand by my original statement re survivability @ 6 feet from a 2200 lb event.
