A Marine squad was marching north of Basra when they came upon an insurgent soldier badly injured and unconscious. Nearby, on the opposite side of the road, was an American Marine in a similar but less serious state. The Marine was conscious and alert.
As first aid was given to both men, the Marine was asked what had happened. The Marine reported, "I was heavily armed and moving north along the highway and coming south was a heavily armed insurgent. Seeing each other we both took cover. I yelled to him that Saddam Hussein was a miserable low-life scum sucker, that killed his own people, and he yelled back that Teddy Kennedy is a rich, good-for-nothing fat drunken bastard, that killed that girl on the bridge and got away with it."
"We were standing there shaking hands when the truck hit us!!!!!
