Attended a guy today who is the marines, we got talking about afgan etc and he said on his last posting they lost 14 guys and nearly him.
It turned out that he was reading a map to pinpoint a firing position and literally as he put his face to the side of the map to check the position a bullet came through the centre of it and hit him in the jaw, and then one in the hand and leg as he was crawling away
Really nice guy who is now back serving but some of the stuff he told me was terrible.
My thoughts are with all those out there serving and their families.
