(2003, Iraq) "Securing an Iraqi ammunition holding area became a bit of a problem when my unit took over this large piece of real estate. Looters periodically showed up to steal brass from the tank and artillery rounds stored in the bunkers. These guys had simple tools: HAMMERS and CHISELS. And, as 98% of Iraqis smoke, this made for an even more interesting day.

One day we saw five looters sneak into a bunker. As we made our way towards the bunker to apprehend them, the bunker exploded. It was a few days before we could get close to the demolished bunker. When we were able to investigate, we ascertained that the looters had either struck a spark while hitting a tank round with hammer and chisel, or one or all were enjoying their finest tobacco while striking the tank round. Either way, the outcome was the demise of five insurgents."
