Hit by an IED in Mosul

something crazy happened to me today. we were in mosul about to head to this iraqi base and my team got hit by an IED. it wasnt a big one and everyone is ok, but shook us up a bit. It hit right in front of my vehicle spraying the veh in front of me. and we saw the guy who detonated it running so we opened fire- but couldnt confirm if we got him. it was just like the movies, but A LOT LOUDER in real life. I remember i could feel the impact of the blast and some of the gunners on top of veh got damage to their ears and possible concussion. but all in all, we are good... except for my PTSD that i have now... jk. but seriously thank the Lord that the terrorist dude was too dumb to pack more TNT in that bomb, and that his timing was slightly off on detonation. we got lucky bc it could have been way worse, bc really the most dangerous thing is to have a small bomb like that go off and then while you are focused on that explosion, a car bomb comes at you from behind. THAT is what i was scared of, and as the last veh in the team, and after getting out of the "kill zone"i made sure my gunner was ok and then told him to watch for ANY car near and if light them up if he sees anything. luckly, nothing came.

infact that was just a horrible neighborhood bc and hour after that a car bomb went off and small arms fire after that, who knows that car bomb could have been for us and the retarded guy messed up the timing- who knows but we are cool- except that we got to go on this retarded mission tom in a bad news town. whatever- its going to be crazy as all the CFs are getting out of the cities and the iraqis are starting to take over. infact, all the terrorist are prob video tapping these attacks and claim that they are pushing out the infidels!... what a bunch of crap...

anyway- Just a bad day in mosul.
