You've got a kid to raise and you ain't as young as you used to be, Cochise. You've paid your dues already. This is going to be another IED war with many disabling casualties and you don't want to spend the rest of your life in the VA hospital system.
I think he took one to the knee yesterday, he might already be in the VA. @shane0911 I admire your willingness and thankful for your duty to our country anyway, thanks!
It was a pitching machine just below the knee and on the inside of the leg. 40mph, about an apple sized hematoma. I will live. I love this country and if it needs me I will be there. Always.
You sound brave on one hand and such a ..... on the the other, two sides of my mind fighting as I judge you All kidding aside, I'm sure it hurt.
WTF? I didn't even flinch and oh hell no you never rub it. I didn't even notice I had a huge lump on my leg until I got home, that is when I took a picture of it because it looked really cool. Hell, I've been hurt 100x worse than that. Burnt my eyebrows off once too.
Been there... the Army and life itself has destroyed so many joints on my right side, i'll be walking in circles by the time I'm 60. lol
Juggs, and not the kind I like. Believe me, I'd love nothing more than to be hit in the head by a pair of tits moving at 40MPH
