Thanks for your first hand reports. It's good to have someone with knowledge reporting the situation. I had a friend who was in country last year for 3 months. Double hernia sent him home. Good thing it was just a double hernia.. There were a couple of nights last fall where I thought I was going to have a mortar fall into bed with me.. Actually had a mortar round come through the roof of a trailer next to one of my co-workers.. Fortunately, it failed to explode (carpet fibers from his faux persian rug jammed the fuze mechanism, I heard).. Took them several days to discover the hole in the guy's roof as he was on leave at the time.. Then we had a guy who had a 107mm rocket land smack dab on his sleeping trailer.. Blew it to bits!!! The only reason he wasn't "vapor on the wind" was because he had stepped out to have a cigarette 2 minutes before and was 50 feet away at the time... We started calling him the new Marlboro Man.. Figured a great ad campaign would be "Smokin' saved my life".. ;0) Hawk
