An amazing story of bravery by US armed forces..

Quote:

U.S. army surgeons donned body armor to remove a high-explosive bullet from a soldier's head during a tense five-hour operation, The Sun reported Friday.

Non-essential staff at Bagram Air Field in Afghanistan were evacuated during the surgery to remove the Taliban bullet, which contained two ounces of high explosives powerful enough to kill the entire surgical team.

Dedication...sir!

I'm curious what kind of bullet that was?

Is the Taliban using explosive rounds now?

And not even a US national...not that this should matter.

Careful Jim - you might get people thinking that not all Americans are evil!

Can't have that now, can we.

Two ounces of explosive? I wish the article gave some indication as to which caliber of bullet the surgeons had to remove from the man's head.
