Rocketman, again

We had more rocket attacks. An early one landed as I walking back from chow. It landed a ways off, but still I heard a loud "crack" as it exploded. Another landed later in the evening. I didn't hear it coming because I was in my CHU watching a movie, but I definitely heard it go off. This one had a different sound to it, sort of a ripping sound. It might have been an air burst. Anyway, it hit in CHUville. A couple of soldiers were injured by shrapnel, but the injuries were minor. Had everybody talking about it, though. The novelty is wearing off, and folks are wishing the attacks would stop. Luckily, our CHUs are pretty well protected with sandbags and concrete barriers.
