Hello everyone.
What does the underlined part below mean and how do you paraphrase it? Does the author think the flat tire was not so serious a matter compared with what happened then?
Just a few hours after he escaped with nothing worse than a flat tire from a roadside bomb that hit his fuel truck, Barnes said: "Every time you go out, you go out knowing that you might not come back."
