Hey, Mom? It’s me. I don’t think we’re going to make it out of here.
This one was hard to read, for me.
Edit: As always with dramatic stuff like this, may be an urban legend or an “improved” story. As I should have said when I posted it. 🙂

I think that call takes place every morning, only “here” is “from bed.”

This phenomenon of moment-of-death calls really shakes me. Those voicemails people sent from the twin towers, to a lesser extent the Jet Blue passengers who watched their own emergency landing on tv while talking about it on their phones. I don’t know if I’d want to hear that call, or make it.

Being here and having some information that other people don’t, I would seriously advise taking this article with a grain of salt.
If it IS true, then that soldier needs a good, solid pounding for a great many different and equally crucial reasons.

Oh yes, always a grain of salt with dramatic stuff like that.
I considered while reading it that it might be a conflation of some real incidents where people phoned in their doom, and stuff like the scene in /Three Kings/ where the guy is phoning home from Iraq after pawing through the pile of cellphones.

but, yes, a grain of salt with anything you read in the “news”.
