Landmines a serious threat? Do tell!?
(On a serious note- one of the saddest things I've seen come through was a report of a 19 yr. old USAF supply airman, who a week prior was shivering his n***s off at Minot AFB, North Dakota, stepped off the marked path at a base in Afghanistan and blew his leg off. This happened not too long after OEF launched. I know too many guys have been killed/wounded since, but that one really struck me hard. Poor, young b*****d.)
