(What's that sound) The women look like a large rag doll smashed to pieces The incident that affected them most profoundly occured while he was leading a mobile patrol It was 1972 (What's that sound) A massive explosion a hundred yards in front of Johnson's vehicle Brought the patrol to a halt A bom had been detonated in an underground toilet (What's that sound) Johnson saw people scattering through swirling clouds of thick black smoke Within minutes he had cornererd out the area a man of guards to provide cover against snipers Just in case it was a setup (What's that sound) Raised voices caught his attention A man was screaming at a policeman pointing at the toilet He was shouting: my wife is in there!
