I took 2 young guys out on patrol today. One was 19 and had never driven a Humvee, so his introduction was in an Armored one, in Kabul, on a combat patrol. The other guy was on gun, then I swapped them out. I think they loved it. The air conditioning in our Humvee was broken. It was 135 degrees in the Humvee with the ballistic windows up. I was soaked when we got back to base. Our new motto is "Guns don't kill people.....we kill people."
