The iPod of War
April 5th, 2007 by Larry SmithDid an iPod save a soldier’s life? Looks like it from this photo and accompanying story. Evidently, the bullet hit the iPod and not the body of Kevin Garrad of the 3rd Infantry Division, on a street patrol in Iraq at the time. Whether true shot or Photoshop, the comments from Flickr members (e.g. “Did he have applecare?” “Best of luck getting a new iPod, It’s an HP branded one, Apple won’t even talk to you if you have one of those.”) are amusing.
