My Partner Almost Took my Bullet

Transcript

I had almost, almost shot my infantry partner. We were sent out to clear a mud hut and it was very hard to see because we only had monoculars which only covers one eye, where the Americans have it's almost like the binocular that comes out into one so you are looking out of both eyes with them. Since he was the infanteer he went in to clear the hut and I would have to say that that was probably one of the scariest times of my tour over there because it was just me and him. There was nobody else with us, we were off the camp and he was in a hut and I honestly think had he of not waved his hand and spoke to me through our little section radios that he might of ate a bullet.
