A Marine survived a would be fatal bullet after it hits his kevlar helmet in the Helmand Province of Afganistan some time last year. (Most sources point toward September) During the raid of a drug farm, the Marine unit started taking fire and started moving tactically through the farm. A small group decided to push through a house on the outside of the compound when they were engaged by a sniper. The video tells the rest of the story.
A Marine helmet cam records a sniper shot, and one lucky Marine lives to see another day. The harrowing incident took place during a helicopter raid in the Nawzad District in Helmand Province in Afghanistan, according to the Washington Post.
We got cover out there? one of the men asked as they rushed through a tunnel toward the light of day. Just as they approached the opening, nearly silent gunfire erupted. A single bullet struck one of the men on his helmet, causing the men to retreat back into safety. The man whose helmet was struck by the bullet visibly flinched when he was hit, but he was miraculously unharmed.

Sorry, but that really isn't funny. How can you joke about this? What if the person who shot his helmet hit his head? This is nothing to joke about.

Damn he's lucky. Love the picture I saw with this, when he get's his back up.

If the soldier died then it would be a completely different story; it was a harmless joke
