Bomb Patrol, Afghanistan is a show on The G4 network that shows the daily lives of a Sapper (Combat Eng. EOD) in Afghanistan. I just caught a couple of these shows and its just lunacy to choose this job at this point and time.
We always took Sappers with us on play missions to clear and disarm traps but they weren't real. These guys are for real and so are the IED's and mines they are dealing with. They encounter more real life threats in one morning than I have in my life!
If anyone wonders just what kind of nerves it takes to do this, they should just watch for an hour or so. How do you think these guys will blend back into society after experiencing this everyday?
