Just Desserts, or "I Wasn't Expecting to Meet my 72 Virgins Just Yet!"



Apparently, we have the technology to track incoming mortar rounds and zero in return fire in as little as two to three shots. From the time this guy fired his first shot, he had about twelve seconds to live.

He was praying to meet his God and the Marines were there to make the travel arrangements!

Update: There seems to be a large consensus that this is a video of incompetence rather than accuracy. It is true that if the mortar becomes too hot through rapid fire, a round can cook off in the tube. (Wasn't there a scene in We Were Soldiers, where Lt. Col Hal Moore had his men urinating on a mortar tube to cool it down?)
But, whether little Johnny Jihadist killed himself through his own carelessness or was a victim of return fire, there is one less jihadist in world, who was not expecting to meet his 72 virgins just yet!
