Will to survive We were on patrol in Helmand province, Afghanistan, six of us in a Snatch Land Rover. We ran over an Improvised Explosive Device that didn't detonate completely. We were stuck in the sand with a shredded front tire. I got out and hunkered down beside the front wheel. The Taliban raked the Land Rover with AK-47s from the other side. The bullets punched through both doors. I crouched down, out of the firing line. There was silence from the cab. I rolled along the sand for twenty yards and then ran.
