I've worked with DOT for some time and asphalt is the choice material for roads for the exact reason that it gives so much. The standard pavement design for parking lots and secondary roads is 2-4 inches of asphalt over a 6 or 8 inch base of crushed stone. That is exactly what this looks like. The idiot jihadists just dug thier hole too deep. The fact that this was an amature job bodes well for our guys. They are obviously "running out" of experienced bomb makers. Pray for the troops.

When my son came back from Iraq, the Marines Key Volunteers put on a program for the family members of the unit. Besides the issues of benefits, insurance, and so on, they pointed out that there was a higher than average rate of automobile fatalities in the first several months among Marines returning from Iraq. They recommended that returning Iraq vets take the time to reacclimate themselves to driving in America. Easy to say, hard to do with a 21 year old Marine who spent the last 7 months in the desert, with exactly 2 beers issued to celebrate Christmas, little female companionship, and looking for a little "fun" now that he's back in the World. ;^) “A friend of mine, just home from Iraq, was driving his wife nuts, because he was driving around all the manhole covers on the street.”

Outside were aged hippies holding signs complaining against the military with "weed" drawn on them. I guess if you promote your drug use, it makes your point more salient? My wife was screaming at them out the car window. When you get to compare these guys rolling on Iraq roads next to some of the people they protect, it makes you love 'em even more. The best Americans are in uniform. God bless everyone of them. I just spent the weekend on base with some great guys back from Iraq.

I bet after that the soldiers were shaking a little, not because of fear but because of the "I almost died" adrenaline. For some reason this reminds me of a question I asked my Dad about being in Vietnam. "Dad how did you do it? Go out ever day, plodding through the jungle and knowing you could die at any moment" he said "Son you do what you have to do you can't be afraid of what may happen, especially not in a war". But I still marvel at these men and women, day after day waking up possibly wondering is this my last day? God Bless them. Wow.

Once the surface has been replaced, it will harden back in a few hours. Th only visible sign is a 'clean' spot on the road and that is often covered with a handfull of dust. That one was either an undercharged device or an incompleate explosion. Tunneling takes too long and culverts are pretty well mapped out.
