U.S. troops examine a Humvee vehicle destroyed in a fatal blast near the restive central Iraq (news - web sites) town of Fallujah, September 14, 2003. Sheikh Khaled Saleh, a fiery Iraqi Sunni Muslim cleric, says the young angry men battling U.S. troops in Fallujah are holy warriors who look to Osama bin Laden (news - web sites) as their mentor. 'Although unorganized and without leadership, the Iraqi resistance is a ball of fire in America's face that will bring its end in Iraq,' said the 53-year-old cleric, whose sermons draw thousands in the main Badawi mosque, one of over 70 mosques in the center of Fallujah.

LOL! Fer shure. We got a lot of respect from the infantry, eh? I'll never forget one dark night we were on maneuvers and doing a passage of lines through a dismounted infantry unit. They were supposed to point filtered flashlights at us so we wouldn't run 'em over. As we rumbled up to the front lines, I never so so many lights in my life. They had everything turned on.
I heard that. I knew an E6 Infantryman who had a misshapen head. He had actually been run over while he slept on the ground in Hohenfels. Tank went right over his head. It was the mud that saved him. Still cracked his noggin open though. He was just a PFC when it happened- it obviously didn't affect his career choice any and he seemed normal enough so it must not have affected his gearbox too much either (other than the cosmetic work). Good soldier he was.
Thank goodness he lived. I don't feel so guilty laughing out loud at your story!
