Fire From The Skyfrom
"It had to happen eventually. About 1700L we got a barrage of 120mm mortars hitting the FOB, big nasty suckers. The hit several buildings like the PX, and some of the KBR tin cans we live in.
Thank whatever Power you like; none of our people were killed, just several wounded. We did learn that these trailers we're living in catch fire really easily. More of them burned than were directly hit. The smoke from the burning trailers drifted right to our TOC, even more so once the fire trucks managed to douse the flames down to the charred shells. We counterfired, but only with illumination shells. God forbid we hurt anyone. Wait, wasn't that the point of the exercise?"
