Uh oh. This is a classic picked up by Emily over at Textually. A US solider accidentally called home on his mobile during a firefight if Afghanistan. You know how it is. You forget to lock (INCOMMMINNNNG) the keypad, the enemy comes a-running at you and you forget about your international roaming costs pretty (MORE AMMO!!) quickly.

Anyway mum wasn’t in so the call (the audio complete with guns and focused soldiers barking commands) was recorded on her voicemail system. Youtube user, JRPetee uploaded the audio for your listening pleasure here:

The chap in question is fine. Good news.

When I started reading I thought this might be about some ludicrous roaming charge ;)

I hope he's got a good roaming plan.....3mins from Afghanistan to the US.....but i'm guessing that's probably the least of his worries at the moment.
