One bullet away all the time. You just put that in the back of your mind and do your job, day in and day out, but always remind yourself that if you get sloppy or forgetful, that bullet will make it's call.

Oh lighten up Murrietta! Some veterans don't mind answering this. I was struck by a jeep when fleeing from a sniper. I was out in the open exposed to hostile fire. I couldn't move because of a broken leg. I think I was close to seeing the pearly gates, but some AF Airmen pulled me to safety.

Lets just say that there were a few occasions where I had much more excitement than I really desired.

Death is always close but if you are destined to live, you will survive.

Yes. But anybody who talks about that kinda thing is normally a bullshitter who wants to make themselves look good- or theyre American 'hoo-ah semper fi do or die' maniacs.
P.S Yanks need to be sure who theyre shootin' at!

My friend - That is a question you don't ask veterans....along with "Did you ever kill anybody?" Now run along and mind your manners.
