IED in Iraq

Check out this close call from an IED that was either buried too deep or didn’t have enough enough fire power. The IED is amazing and extremely frighting. It is hard to understand the people who sign up for this kind of abuse, but one must respect them.

I read military.com because it is mostly geared toward the average guy in the field. Its politics is definitely ant-Bush, although they are not an overtly political site.

    I saw that on MySpace a few days ago. They’re obviously more than just pipe bombs.

    It’s hard to believe that my friend’s boyfriend actually was hit by one of those. Luckily, he was in a stryker, so he wasn’t even hurt…probably just shaken up.

    I’m glad that he now made it back to the states…

      Sailed the glidepath to the sun
      And when the sun proved false
      As it always does
      Some of them would be lost
      And some would sail back home
      It was no star
      But a magna of illusion
      I mean by that
      The mirror found
      In the chamber of jade grown like a seed
      Deep within the ground
      The mirror found
      By one man
      So on and off again
      He sailed the Europe's rim
      On and off, off and on
      Until his time had come
