Is that gunfire?
Is that another helo shooting?
And I stick my head down like we've got the door open in a Blackhawk, full Hollywood style, mullets flapping in the breeze, M-frames on, sleeves rolled up.
And I look down and there's literally a dude with a PKM blasting me.
And I'm looking in his eyes.
It's probably less than 100 meters because we were about to land.
And we're going slow.
And I can just see the circle of dust around him from the percussion of his machine gun.
And he's just pointing that thing from the hip, just fucking unloading a belt at us in the helo.
And I looked down, like, what the fuck?
And I punched the door gunner in the leg.
I'm like, fucking kill him.
What are you doing?
Like, that's when the ball dropped.
Like, oh, I'm in Afghanistan.
This isn't a range practice.
And I didn't hear or feel any bullets hit the helo, but I imagine they fucking did because I could see it.
Yeah, yeah.
I was looking in his eyes as he's looking in my eyes.
And then we landed and one of the snipers goes, well, why didn't you fucking shoot him then?
