  1. Well last night someone threw a grenade over the wall. No major injuries, someone caught a couple rocks in their arm, just a couple small wounds. I'm fine though, and I'm glad no one else was in the area.

    1. @communistprime Oh jeez. Well, that's what they make body armor for, I guess.

      1. @starshine Yeah. It was some homemade explosive, so it wasn't that bad. Used marbles for shrapnel, got a couple sitting around outside still.

        1. @communistprime Marbles, seriously? Is it amateur night over there or something?

          1. @colfax Must be what they had on hand. We think that was the shrapnel though, sinec we couldn't find any metal fragments.

              1. @nutterguy Wrong person to reply to, but I suppose it doesnt matter who i get the popcorn from.

              2. @nutterguy You can, if you can pop it. With...YOUR MIND!

            2. @communistprime Well, either way, as you said, no serious damage was done so that's good, I have a friend or two over that way and I worry about them a lot, and yeah, one of them is a brony in the USAF

              1. @colfax Oh yeah? Where's he at?

                1. @communistprime He didn't offer details and I didn't ask, all I kow for sure is he left th UK a couple weeks ago for "the sandbox" and during his first week there they were mortared 5 times in one night

                  1. @colfax Ehhhhh, well that doesn't help. Probably isn't in Kandahar. We've got an Air Force guy on the checkpoint with us, figured it'd be funny if he was a brony.

                          1. @communistprime 20% cooler.

        2. @communistprime Some of those handmade ones are pretty nasty. I've seen 'em stuffed with nails.

          1. @starshine Oh yeah, defiantly. Homemade explosives in bulk (10lbs is enough) can kill someone...

        3. @communistprime I checked your profile and yes, you are in the military. I thought I might have had a reason to be worried.

          1. @nvrrmbr There's a surprisingly nonzero number of military bronies.

            1. @starshine Suprisingly.
