Another blog from myspace, mine, it was the first one i posted and our first times doing these patrols after being in country a couple of weeks!!
So the other day i was out and about the infamous town of Kirkuk, heading home after a long day of just riding around, when BAM!!!! An IED hit the truck ahead of us, nobody hurt, no damage, nothing, but this was in the middle of town, and a soccer game going on no less....There wasnt even a flinch from the locals. So anyway we have to cordone off the area and wait for EOD to come out..............so..........aboot an hour later, maybe and hour and a half later, after almost having to shoot a bus that was barreling down the road, EOD finally shows up. Guess what they do........they get a damn metal detector out and walk right up to the detonation site. I thought it was humorous and worth writing about. But damn, they have some balls, like bowling ball size balls.
