We as Americans never want to hear the launch or the detonation here on our soil. Whether I support the current war or not, this is the reason why we have to kick the crap out of these people on their turf or they will show up on ours trying **** like that.

I was at a base in Iraq for 4 months and it rained mortars ALL the time. That **** sucked. I came close to dying from mortars and rockets so many times I lost count. When you hear those damn things whistling coming down...not good.

Which camp were you at?

I was in Basrah "Southern Iraq" from Mar 05 to Jun 06 and Hillah/Babylon "South Central Iraq" from June 06 to Apr 07.

The whistling isnt so bad cuz thats when you know they are flying over your head. Its when you hear the launch and no whistle and start feeling the booms get closer! The closest I had land to me was 145ft away. I was literally diving into a bunker at that time with nothing more than some gym shorts, slippers, and my helmet!
