So totally scary/awesome at the same time. This Marine took a BULLET TO THE HEAD and SURVIVED thanks to a Kevlar helmet he was wearing during a sniper attack! Check out the awesome video below! ‘You lucky son of a b****’: The group marvel at the lifesaving helmet before moving on to fight other battles
Hat Tip to The Daily Mail:
‘A Taliban sniper managed to get a non-fatal headshot on a Marine’s helmet while the Marines were conducting a joint helicopter raid in the Now Zad district,’ wrote Sam Arnold, who uploaded the video to YouTube.
According to Arnold, the sniper shot was part of a ‘U-shaped ambush by insurgents.’
The video starts as three Marines prepare to leave the protection of the ruins of a desert building. Just before they leave, the bullet hits.
The men all inspect the helmet that saved him and the only evidence it shows of the impact is a missing piece of cloth.
The Marine himself says he’s fine, too, minus some ringing in the ears, before the group all moves on to fight other battles

WARNING! THIS VIDEO CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE

Amazing that our men and women in the armed services are strong enough to withstand these types of things. Thank you, veterans and those currently serving, for your service. You truly make us all so proud to be Americans.
