British soldier gets shot in the face

[Joe Williams]

A helmet's eye view of what it's like to be caught in an ambush. Squad's machine gunner catches one in the face, fortunately minor.

Article says the round hit his machine gun and ricocheted into his face. Lucky guy! Wound required all of 3 stitches, and he was back on patrol the next day.

Someone was watching over him that day. The Brits are some tough suckers.

Compelling video indeed. Really sad to know how many so called Americans actually believe groups like the taliban should be placated instead of killed.

That'll wake you up!!!

Michael Yon did an embedded with the British 2 Rifles a year ago. Great reporting, IMO.

The first thing that came to mind was "he didn't have to be injured".

Full disclosure: I know the guy that owns MTEK. Still, never had to even happen.
