Your grandad sounds like a badass though. I have a friend who had a pretty dangerous gig when fought in the Falklands and Serbia. His job was to Halo jump into the middle of a Battlefield, move forward, gather recon, radio back to his superiors and stay safe whilst the soldiers advance firing mortars etc and try push the enemy back.
Essentially you get blasted from both sides and since you are on the enemies half of the Battlefield, you are also more likely to get caught. I couldn't do anything like what my friend or your grandad did. |
Wow! I'm glad that people like your friend and my grandfather existed. I will always treasure the memory of my grandfather's stories.
