(I'm not trying to brag, but rather I'm giving some background info so you know where I'm coming from) The first time I went there, an airman that had been at Balad AB for one week had a mortar practically land on his lap. It blew off both legs and one of his arms, and somehow, he didn't die. I think that definitely proves your point about how bodies can be affected by explosions. In reality, I was trying to bring the ship back up to the surface.
