484: It Might Not Go The Way You Want. With Navy SEAL Command Master Chief, Jim Foreman.

Was hit the deck and try not to get our head shot off.

Rounds snapped inches above us, and shards of glass and concrete fragments rained down everywhere. Damn, some of those bastards can shoot, yelled a seal operator pressed as close to the floor as humanly possible. We couldn't help but laugh at our predicament.

One errant RPG rocket missed its mark and sailed high over the building, trailing across the hazy, cloudless Iraqi summer sky like a bottle rocket on an American fourth of July. But if just one of those rockets impacted a window, it meant red hot fragments of jagged metal ripping through just about every man in the room. Despite the onslaught. We held our position in the large four story apartment building. When the fury of the attack subsided.
