The shot was unbelievable--they had the engine out (and it was a big 'un) next to the tank and the mechanics from the unit Bloom is attached to swarming over it like it was NASCAR. The conditions were wretched, and now they've gotten worse with the thunderstorm moving in. According to Bloom's last report--in pitch black--they were STILL working on the engine.

My admiration for our troops just grows and grows.
