I was a 19D10 Cavalry Scout (I'm a city boy but I'm a bad ass motherfucker when it's time hit the bush) in Doha, Kuwait during Desert Storm and our genius commander decided we should line our ammo up between our M109 Howitzers, M1's, and Bradleys in the motor pool so we could load up and whip Iraqi ass in a hurry.

Too bad he forgot to take into consideration the problem with desert heat shorting out the electrical systems in our FASV artillery ammo carriers! One of them had an electrical short that ignited a charge. Our entire howitzer battery was combat loaded.

That one vehicle caught fire and ignited it's load of ammo... this started a chain reaction that blew the shit out of our entire squadron!

I was about 150M away when the shit started. There were half blown up tanks flying 300 feet high in the air and air scatterable mines exploding over us. Plus whole trailers of copperhead missles with 54 pounds of C4 in the tips exploding. Oh yea... TowII missles scittering accross the ground and exploding. The shit was fucking insane... here's some pics:


Here's what was left of our 2nd Squadron 11 Armored Cavalry Regiment




An M1 melted to the groud:




We all thought kewl... we can get the fuck out of here now that we don't have our victors anymore... not, 2 days later low boy truck showed up at our front gate with ALL BRAND NEW SHIYITE!

Anyways,

ALLONS MOTHERFUCKERS!
Scouts Out!
