We were at an ANP check point training them. We got a call on the radio that our 2nd platoon was in contact so we pushed out as QRF. As we were pulling up to them, I saw one of their humvees engulfed in flames. A buddy was on the left side of the road and started to run across. As he was passing the humvee a secondary explosion went off. He completely disappeared from view. I knew he was dead and my heart dropped...just as he came running out the other side. The single greatest thing I've ever seen in my life.
