Video: Juba Sniper Hits Soldier, Miracle/Hilarity Ensues

A story so classic, it deserves to be retold over and over again. From a segment of the History Channel's Shockwave program, Sgt. Steven Tschiderer tells his tale once again of being hit by an Iraqi sniper. The sniper is later caught after Tschiderer's buddies take out his vehicle with a Humvee mounted .50 cal and a video of the attack was recovered. No doubt the video would have been used to claim a US soldier had been killed.

Why tell the story again? Because it's awesome, that's why! Plus, this particular version of the story has the highest production value, including much more background and visuals to help the viewer get a feel for the layout of the neighborhood it happened in.
