I lost a good friend from High School in Iraq, he signed up with his best friend.
From his friend I found out what happened. They were doing a patrol when He saw a 4ish year old kid standing in the street. A man ran up with an RPG and used him as a human shield. Not wanting to shoot the kid he shot.. but took extra time to aim. He killed the insurgent but died as the RPG exploded directly infront of him.
The kid lived but my friend died for him.
