Quotes from Buzzell's Blog
"I observed a man, dressed all in black with a terrorist beard, jump out all of sudden from the side of a building, he pointed his AK-47 barrel right at my f------ pupils, I froze and then a split second later, I saw the fire from his muzzle flash leaving the end of his barrel and brass shell casings exiting the side of his AK as he was shooting directly at me. I heard and felt the bullets whiz literally inches from my head."CNN: Soldier Finds His Voice Blogging From Iraq (November 13, 2008)Buzzell Quote About Iraq War
