Yes you read correctly, I have been hot with a roadside bomb, luckily I was in an armored vehicle. Ill never forget it. It felt like I got punched in the back of the head by the worlds strongest man. My entire truck filled with black smoke before I ever even heard the explosion. The truck I ride around here in iraq has 8 wheels, 4 on each side obviously, it hit between the third and fourth wheel on the left side. Here in Iraq roadside bombs are the most common attack we face and we encounter a minimum of five or six per day between us and Iraqs police department almost always resulting in deaths when they hit the mildly armored chevy tahoes and trailblazers the Iraqi police ride around in.
