While we're back home waging war to stop a viral outbreak, our brave men and women show us every day how they risk their lives for us.  Originally filmed in 2013, this video was cleared recently, showing the dangers our troops encountered in Afghanistan.  

American forces can be seen passing through tunnels when they come to a clearing.  At that point(:13 mark), you'll see the soldier's head bop slightly backward from the bullet that squarely-hits his helmet from an enemy sniper's rifle.  We are happy to report that the soldier, besides some ringing in his ears, was completely fine.

It's a reminder that no matter where you side on the face of war, our military encounters more threats to their lives than we can possibly fathom.  Lacking in testicular fortitude but not short in gratitude, I THANK YOU EACH AND EVERY DAY FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!
