NFT: NFT- Marine takes sniper shot

Something is definitely looking out for him

Thanks for sharing.

to having one of their teammates get shot in the helmet and survive. Some people will panic and crumb under such circumstance/incident. Some, like these Marines, will stay calm and actually chuckle about (the absurdity of) how close one of them was from being killed by a sniper before continuing on with their mission. It isn't until they get back to base when they'll feel all of the adrenaline and craziness in their bodies come loose...that's when they'll truly deal with "what could have been."

Young combat hardened Marines and soldiers (and some airmen and sailors) are a special breed. Yes, they deal with their own demons after these close calls, but they are more resilient than we ever give them credit for as a generation.
