The worst jobs in war

How about been in bomb disposal in the second world war? Everyday could be you last, you have to learn about each new bomb, and it could go off any moment and you'll go up in "the pink mist" as it was known.

Heck bomb disposal in any war is like that. Do you think that the bad guys in Iran and Afghanistan don't make new styles of bombs. They are changing every couple of weeks.

I read that in the space of a few months in Iraq they went through every possible radio frequency to detonate IEDs before we jammed them all. It took 12 years for that to happen with the IRA in N. Ireland.
