Pray for him, and I will too. The Memphis papers are full of it today; one of the 101 Airborne casualties was from here, as was one of the Mississippi National Guardsmen whose truck hit a mine.
I heard there was a Bradley mine fatality incident a few days back as well. I'm afraid your pal will soon at least see firsthand what such results will be.
I'm expecting about what happens to the BTR70/80 under such conditions. We shall see.
