uh yeah!!! me too. I get freaked sometimes walking around the back of the house before the motion light turns on for piss sakes. I'm like walking and waving my arms to get it to turn on.

Thanks to all the men and women in the armed forces!

Insurgents must be pissed.

From what I hear, the one incident where a soldier died in a bomb explosion in a MRAP, the casualty was probably the result of the soldier in the turret being killed when the vehicle rolled over, rather than from direct blast effects. Those things are pretty impressive.
