    (page 53) The next line of that interview quote:

    Eight of us managed to do it. The next time we attacked, we could jump.

    And the footnote:

    Interview with ISWAP Commander-7, 2025. While this may seem extreme, the episode reflects a pattern evident across other interviews, in which the group absorbed heavy casualties during dangerous experimentation and training.

    It sure is wild; but humans aren’t the expensive thing for Boko Haram I guess?

      Still could have skipped the broken glass and fire. Now they just have 8 guys who feel more bulletproof than they really are.

      (Not that I’m complaining…)
