They rip right through him and he drops to the ground. The man to my immediate right gets hit in the face twice and drops to the ground. It takes me a second to wipe the blood from my eyes. I have trouble seeing. Already, I can hear dozens of men screaming for a medic.
Small explosions go off.
One of the landing craft explodes. Several of the men, still on fire and barely alive, jump into the ocean. I see Rachael reload her M-16. Someone to her left takes a bullet right between the eyes. A mortar hits a few yards away and throws me off balance.
