iPod vs. AK-47
“Kevin Garrad (3rd Infantry Division) was on a street patrol in Iraq (Tikrit I believe) and as he rounded the corner of a building an armed (AK-47) insurgent came from the other side.
The two of them were within just a few feet of each other when they opened fire. The insurgent was killed and Kevin was hit in the left chest where his IPod was in his jacket pocket. It slowed the bullet down enough that it did not completely penetrate his body armor. Fortunately, Kevin suffered no wound.”

See, and I have been frustrated all day because my iPod is having issues. I have been cursing the name of apple (not literally of course) And now I feel bad. Thank God for iPod’s I guess…at least for this soldier:smile:

I just found a followup story … apparantly the iPod didn’t save his life, the body armor did. But the soldier didn’t know that he had been hit until much later, when he tried to play some songs on his iPod!
