The story was...

this buddy of mine in Iraq was shot twice in the chest by his own snipers to prevent him from being kidnapped by Iraqi co-workers.

I asked if he was alive. Yep.

I asked if he was coming home. Nope.

Two things wrong with this gross exaggeration some civilians might not know...our snipers would never intentionally shoot their own people AND someone shot twice in the chest is hardly likely to live.

End of rumor.
