Howdy sir badger! Wow what an experience! Both of them. And that high lasted for six months? That's incredible. Great story, wonderfully written with marvelous details. Hearing about the IED attacks always drove me crazy. I always thought there had to be some way we could detect them with all our technology but I guess not.
Thanks so much @janton that means a lot! We had too secret devices on our vehicles that supposedly jammed them, only the taliban knows if they ever worked or not. We had metal sectors on board and in really suspicious situations we would brake them out. There were a few areas like this though that no matter what we did they managed to sneak more mines in. There is a reason they have never been defeated in combat in 1000+ years and what the British did to them was worse then Hitler but they still survived the Russians and us! Unbelievable maybe one day I will make a post about them.

Howdy today sir badger! Thanks for the additional information. I think posting about them would be amazing, I know they've never been defeated no matter the size or power of the enemy that was trying so that in itself is a remarkable record. I'm just glad you got out of there in one piece!
