RPG Attack

One of our platoons was hit today by an RPG round which fortunately did not seriously injure any soldiers in the vehicle. They walked away with small cuts and abrasions. The armor and protective glass on these vehicles definately did their job in protecting the occupants. Another of our patrols was attacked by a parachute grenade the other day which barely missed a vehicle and detonated in the road driving a hole several feet into the pavement. The RPG attack happened less than 100 meters from where I was passing out election flyers two days ago. The insurgents in the area are definately stepping up attacks ahead of the upcoming election.
