:15:02
... but his fIesh, well, his fIesh
was way beyond redemption...
:15:05
... and it was up to Satan to save his skin.
:15:09
So he got this fucking great Iaughing deviI
tattooed right on his arse.
:15:15
Anyway, about six days Iater we were making a
regular sweep along the lraqi border...
:15:19
... and Eddie, poor fucker,
triggered an anti-tank mine.
:15:25
Yeah. We all saw it happen.
I mean, he was on point.
:15:29
White blinding lightning flash and
:15:32
a fucking deafening crack.
:15:33
And by the time we picked ourseIves up
off the deck, Eddie was...
:15:38
... he was gone.
:15:41
Just bits and pieces of him.
That's all that remained.
:15:44
This big fucking red circle. Hundred metres.
:15:49
I'll tell you something, Iads,
it really puts things in perspective...
:15:52
... when you have to scoop your mate up
with a shovel and
:15:54
stick him in a bin-bag.
:15:57
Anyway, the thing that...
:15:59
... really did our nuts in that day was when you...
:16:03
... came across a bit you recognised.
:16:07
Bit of ear -- toe, a nose, a tooth.
:16:13
But the thing that really freaked us out that day...
:16:15
... was when Left Hand CharIie found
the bit of Eddie with the tattoo on.
:16:19
I mean everything eIse was burnt to a crisp,
covered in claret.
:16:22
All mushed up, pulped up.
:16:23
Not this bit. This bit was perfect.
:16:27
And there's OId Nick chortIing
his fucking arsehole off at us!
:16:33
So you could say that Eddie was right...
:16:36
... that Satan did indeed save his skin,
:16:39
just not all of it.
:16:41
Or you could say that Eddie was just unlucky.
:16:45
Either way it taught me to
keep a very open mind.
:16:52
Boom boom.
:16:58
Anyway... Eddie Oswald.
