Default Re: Things that creep up on our troops in the night

All I can say is DAMN,I sure would hate to see one of those things in person!Those things are very UGLY.Sort of reminds me of someone I dated a long time ago!I have an uncle that was a tank commander during WWII,and he was stationed on some large Island that I do not remember,as his story goes they were driving down a makeshift road on the island and had the hatch closed due to snipers.Well he said the tank ran over something rather large and he opened the hatch to look and see and behind the tank he saw the biggest snake he had ever seen crawling off in the jungle.As he said the tank did not hurt the snake at all!My uncle said from that day on he never slept outside of that tank again,no matter how hot it it was he slept inside.He said the snake could have eaten a human easily! I guess I get my fear of snakes from my uncle because I am deathly afraid of snakes! no matter if it is real ,plastic,rubber,or what ever I just don't like them at all.Don't like those camel spiders neither!Our military people have to put up with enough stuff without those spiders and other creatures.God Bless all you Guys and Gals serving and that have served to give us our Freedom!
