I find running during a mortar attack to be a pretty stupid concept.

For one, you're ALWAYS better off kissing dirt (or concrete) rather than presenting a standing target for flying shrapnel...

And two, they don't normally lob more than a couple of them at any one time because we'll fix their location and fire back..

So we pretty much figured if we survived the first one or two and we were still breathing, we could roll over and go back to sleep..

Kinda a strange mindset one has to be in to endure what we normally consider the absurdity of someone actually trying to kill you..
