We were asleep in our cots at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan when exploding enemy rockets woke us up. My platoon and I threw on our fatigues, grabbed our weapons and ran to the bunker for protection. Inside the bunker, one nervous soldier lit up. "Put that cigarette out!" I ordered.

"Yeah, forget the rockets," said another soldier as more rounds rocked the bunker. "That secondhand smoke'll kill ya."

well considering that the average smoker only inhales 15% of the cigarette...the other 85% everyone else inhales....how true how true...

I would much like to see the bastard who tells me to take out a cigarete under arty fire.

"Was it the rocket that killed him?" "Nope, the rocket was Post-Mortem. It seems Cigarette smoke did him in."
