Re: US Soldier Shot by Taliban Sniper
According to Jeremy Lock, TCP’s are performed by pulling over random vehicles, searching the vehicle and its occupants for weapons or explosives being transported into the city. At that time, Sergeant Nathan McCool was shot in the back by an Anti Iraqi Forces sniper. Soldiers in the area were forced to seek cover and immediately began returning fire. McCool was dragged to a safe location, but Funker 530 reports that “panic sets in, and at first it appears that nobody has had any combat life saver training.” Luckily, someone with a bit of knowhow comes along, removes McCool’s body armor, and begins to treat him. The bloodied soldier is then seen being thrown into a military vehicle where he is presumed to have been taken back to base for more in-depth treatment. Upon further research, it was discovered that Sergeant Nathan McCool died just a few years later. Although his cause of death remains unknown, his obituary simply states that he died in his home |

Re: US Soldier Shot by Taliban Sniper
From what I was able to find his sister said he died of a cerebral hematoma. Kind of confusing tho as that usually happens as the result of sever head trauma. Maybe it was unrelated  |

Re: US Soldier Shot by Taliban Sniper
Pretty tough guy to be able to get up and move under his own power after a chest wound like that.

Re: US Soldier Shot by Taliban Sniper
The irony is that if he puts any ben-gay on that sore back, they will then throw him off a building.
