MP in Afghanistan Accidentally Dials Home During Firefight

By Duane Lester • May 9th, 2008

There is an MP in Afghanistan that, while he was in the middle of a firefight, had his cell phone re-dial the last number he called. The last number he dialed was his parent’s house, and their answering machine recorded the following:

From JRPetee:

My brother is an MP over in Afghanistan. He was on post on April 21st. He decided to give us a call, just to let us know how he was doing.
Nobody was home so he got the answering machine, and hung up. Just then, they started getting shot at. Somehow, his phone re-dialed, and we got this on our answering machine. He is okay.

Imagine getting that message. Glad to hear he is all right.

Duane Lester A one-man political wrecking machine, Duane was not always such a strong conservative. He did not always see things from through the filters of a right wing/libertarian belief system. Now he does. Duane grew up in the midwest, the son of two staunch Democrats. He served in the military overseas and has since moved back to the Midwest after touring around the world. He has a wife and four children. He has a big head. I’m tired of writing in the third person. God bless America.
