Not that exciting, but the closest I came to killing a friend over 3 deployments.

The only thing I'm reading about getting fragged is these fucking duuubbbsss
>>35109979
Never had it happen to me, or anyone in my company. Worst we had was a guy that ""accidentally"" shot himself in the leg.
After I was wounded though, met a guy in the WTU (broke-dick unit) from a sister battalion.
Guy caught five 5.56 from a SAW during clearing ops by a sister unit on a adjacent road in Baghdad.
I DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY WANT US TO KNOW
these numbers what do they mean!?
