Thought that was a Fennek, too much CMSF time I suppose. I served in the 2nd ID, 3rd Brigade, US Army. I was injured before we deployed, probably the largest disappointment ever in my life. However, my unit deployed as part of the surge in Iraq, and suffered heavy casualties from IEDs, ambushes, and the like. There is a decent chance I wouldn't have met my wife, had my wonderful twins, or even be alive at this time. Strange how life works out, but I would like to say thank you to all those who serve their nations in the worldwide fight against terror organizations, keeping all free nations free!!!
