That's more plausible than what the jacket seemed to imply. It made it sound like he was lighting up T-72s and hopping out of his track to do clean up with a liberated AK (I seem to remember a photo of the author with such an AK on the cover or inside flap of the jacket).

If you haven't already read Thunder Run, by David Zucchino, you really ought to consider it. I think I recommended it in this thread a ways back. The soldiers in that book also blast a lot of wrong-way Charlie Iraqis but they're too busy surviving to keep tally of how many men they kill.
