yeah i did a 16 month tour with the 82nd airborne, and spent the deployment in waht was two of the hottest zones in iraq at that time.
so yes, ive been in fire fights, ive been blown up, ive raided houses, gone out on sniper teams. to top it off i was a medic, i dealt with dead bodies daily for months on end.

like i said before, i personally dont like being asked that question either, and i tell my friends who ask it taht its one of the three things i dont talk about. but i can see why they ask it so i dont flip out on them or anything.

were u?
