Watch from a first person's view as a US Army machine gunner's turret takes 2 hits by RPGs during a mounted convoy in eastern Afghanistan. Although dazed by the impact, he responds in the way that we would all aspire for: he continues mission (Charlie Mike) because he is loyal to the mission and to his brothers and sisters more than his own personal safety. If this doesn't fire you up, please check your pulse.

** Question for RP members: What is your first reaction to the toughness this Soldier displayed? **

Note: this is a raw first person video that may conjure up memories for some RP members.

Tough Yes Hard not to be in a fire fight. My boat was hit with just one rpg. and it did some damage. My crew and I would be considered tough in that one
. But as we put it we were fighting for our lives then. When that happens anyone can be tough. Or die

Holy hell! Two RPGs? I'll tell you what, that's an impressive soldier right there. Shake that shit off, get back into the fight. The gods of war and strife were definitely smiling on him, and his own discipline and training took it from there.

Good shit.
