Shotgun is the position next to the driver. It comes from the stagecoach days when the guy riding there carried a shotgun to discourage outlaws and overly-enthusiastic injuns. GrinfilledCelt
I think I saw that picture on a mil blog a while back. The story was he rode out there so that a wounded soldier could ride inside. There where no med evacs available at that moment.

ReplyDeleteDamned if I don't think you're right. I'm pretty sure I posted on that too. Too much news for me anymore.
