Friendly Fire

Post-9/11 Era Forum

I am a bit confused. My grandfather who fought in WWII asked me a question. He said: "You are a general in an army at war. You cureently have more casualties from friendly fire than the enemy actually kills. What would be your reaction?"
I said to my grandfather" I dont know!"
"Take the ammo from your troops and hope that the enemy will commit suicide...." he said. For 86 years old he still has a bright mind.
All my sympathies to ALL the people killed in this unjustified war (British,Americans,Iraqies,children,old people,women,men,bad and good guys).

Rambo, unlike you of course

it must be quite a nice feeling to be right - have you ever thought about going into politics?

Why is it that people that like war are also very sensitive when somebody makes a joke about the reality of war? Do you think that they actually Know what they are supporting? I know and I can prove that the majority of them dont have any clue of the hardship of being in the army and definately not a clue about war life. What do you thing?
