Brock was tired of eating the same damn M.R.E's the army has been feeding him for the last 8 months. He was sitting out in the desert while his girl was at home bangin' his best friend. He tried to act like it didn't bother him, in fact he used it as motivation to hit the weights harder, enroll in online college, and make as many new friends as possible while he was on this deployment in Iraq just to get back at her when he got home. He wasn't on radio watch, or tower guard, so he could take off his gear sit on the hood of his teams Bradley Tank. There he daydreamed about what he was going to do when he got home, and how he would show his girl what she is missing out on. It wasn't too long before they saw dust rising about a quarter mile down the trail, "must be the next shift" says Brock, "their early". As the vehicle approached they started receiving gun fire, and violently. "Oh s%*!, is that comming from our relief?" says Brock, as the vehicle approached faster the platoon could see that this was no military vehicle but a convoy of enemy SUV's shooting RPG's and automatic weapons at them. All of a sudden there was a loud explosion that knocked Brock to the ground. After that, all Brock could hear is a lound ringing noise. As soon as he stood up, he saw body parts and metal fragments everywhere. He tried to get his senses and wits about him as quick as possible. He couldn't find his weapon to return fire, so he hid behind his disabled tank. "I'll wait for the first one to come around that corner and rush him." So he sat and waited, his heart was pumping so hard he felt it was going to jump out of his chest. He leaned up against the tank, when he did that, the metal started forming around where he was leaning. He thought he was hallucinating. We he turned around the first SUV was around the corner, a man with a head wrap pointed a 50 cal at him and motioned to pull the trigger. Brock put his hands up as if he were trying to block a physical blow and the metal from the tank stripped and folded around the SUV and crushed it. When he put his hands down the sand roared back at him like a short lived tornado. Brock fell down in disbelief and just stared at what he had just done......
