wow. glad the guy made it through. it will make one of the great lessons in neuroanatomy I would think. The graphics in your report are excellent.

Great example fantastic first aid by the guys in the platoon. They didn’t do what a lot of people might, and pull it out, but instead bandanged it in place (see their inventive use of styrofoam coffee cups). That probably saved his life.

I want those guys backing me.

Enough bravery — can we bring them home yet?
