    Mortars Suck!!!

    I was awaken one night by a loud boom. I didnt really care considering we get mortared almost every night. But this one was different. It seemed "louder" than normal. I thought I would go check it out. I walked over to our staging area and saw a bunch of people gathering around a conex box. The mortar hit right by it. and blew the side off. Inside was a bunch of Boxes of MRE's still cooking. Nobody cleaned the mess up for a week and a half, so it stunk a while.
