I have seen a few things here that anybody else would say that is crazy as hell. I have two examples of this; the first one was when we found a pair of anti-tank mines a few days ago and the second was a yesterday when we where inspecting a blast hole.

Well common sense would say that if you found any explosives to leave it alone and call the bomb squad(EOD), here we had a IA dig both of the anti-tank mines up and carried them in one hand like he was delivering a Pizza on Saturday night. The second was before we go to work we look to make sure that there is no secondary IED that will try to hurt the people that come to repair the hole. We found a wire that might have been another IED. Again common sense would say to leave it alone, the IA start yanking and grabbing at it.

It is not just the IA, I have seen kids looking through dump trucks for anything that they can use while the truck is still moving and a good rate of speed and with out any real concern for the kids safety when turning. I would say that they where moving about 25-30 miles per hour. It was crazy to watch.
