MARJAH, Afghanistan—It is hard to know whether Monday was a very bad day or a very good day for Lance Cpl. Andrew Koenig.

On the one hand, he was shot in the head. On the other, the bullet bounced off him.

He then proceeded to buy 100 lottery tickets, put in a few horse bets, and won all the cigarettes in his battalion in a poker game.

If I'm reading it right, the bullet hit extra reinforcement in the form of the night vision goggle plate which it knocked off and then failed to penetrate the helmet.

Dude's either lucky or blessed.

Fourteen hundred and change years' worth of murder has changed His mind, I suspect.

It's a good thing he didn't take the helmet off to look at the damage, like that idiot in Saving Private Ryan.
