So tell us what is the worst predicament that you have ever been in?Fast Gunn, I have been there and done that.
I was thinking that stepping on a live land mine and knowing that if you even twitch, you'll set it off, but damn, now you really need to take a piss!

When you feel the wire, there is that split second that you realize that something horrible is about to happen, but you don't really remember when it actually does. You simply get flipped just like someone pulled a rug out from under you.
Then the pain, then the morphine, the Corpsman telling you not to look down, then the months thinking about what was in store for the rest of your life.
I can't remember if I had a piss or not, but I do remember the smell indicating that I had shit my pants.
War is hell..........
