<div class="IPBDescription">Madness :O</div> He's on his way home now and will be back in the UK by the end of the week. He wasn't seriously wounded but still he was shot all the same! He's in the British Army and was on a drive in the cab of truck and the routine was one person up top manning the gun and the rest inside the truck. Basically when it was his turn to man the gun they stopped for some reason I don't know yet and a local bust out his AK47 and started shooting at the truck hitting my friend under the shoulder!

I don't know much about what happend but he's ok apparently. Crazy stuff!

    Isn't
    shot = being shot at, dieing because of this?
    This confused me, and I thought he was dead when I read the topic <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    Glad to hear he's "only" wounded <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Glad to hear he's safe! At least he'll be home now, which is good.

    It can be, but in this case shot is in the context of being hit, not shot and killed. I'm glad hes ok.

    I hate hearing about another Knight of the crusades getting injured.



    On the other hand I hope he is OK... <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    At least he didn't get shot in the butt. That would have been hell for the next few weeks/months.

    Yeah, the whole no sitting would really be a pain in the butt (pun intended <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> )

    if you could do me a favor... tell him that, no matter what anyone says about the war, no matter what anyone says about motives, his sacrifices honor the lives of every man on this earth who values liberty.
