"If fate is against me and I'm killed, so be it, but make it quick and painless. If I'm wounded, don't let me be crippled. But above all don't let me fuck up the task". So goes the bomb technicians prayer before every bomb he defuses. For Chris Hunter, it is a prayer he says many times over his four month tour of Iraq.
