[Travis McGee]

Manning the gun in the turret of his Warrior, Lee Webb is relishing the chance of action, savouring the adrenalin rush, eager to find new targets for the crew’s 30mm gun.

High on the excitement of battle it does not pay to get in his way.

Everywhere he looks there are Iraqis shooting at him, men on roofs firing rocket-propelled grenades, Iraqi gunmen leaning out of windows to open up with their AK47s.

Each time the turret swivels round and there is one less threat to worry about.

I suspect the sound of blood pounding in this kid's ears, nearly drowns out the sound of that horribly wonderful 30mm sword....
When death is that close, the proof of life within your own body is overwhelming....

These kids are having one hell of a fight...and each day and each fight they are seeing evidence of the righteousness of their efforts and sacrifices....

I would give up 10 years of my life, to be 40 years younger and there at this time.....
Rarely has man had such an opportunity to destroy true evil.....

God keep them....
