poorly trained halfwits and redneck thugs.

Heard an interesting comment on the radio yesterday – take a redneck from Hicksville and shout “Kill, Kill, Kill” at him during his training, is it any surprise that’s exactly what he does?

The truth of the matter is that the Americans are fighting an enemy who do not obey the rules (Geneva Convention) of war. They’re fighting an enemy who chop off the heads of civilians, shoot female hostages and use children as suicide bombers. While they must not stoop to their vile, gutter level, the US (and indeed our own) forces cannot afford to take chances. Better to shoot first and ask questions later. In my view this latest incident shows the US soldier to have done NOTHING wrong.

Indeed, just because the event was captured on camera, something is being made of it. I guarantee had the news crew not filmed it, we’d not have heard anything of this.

Thanks Andy. I did indeed use language like that. How come the only mail the Royal Mail deliver on time these days are the things you don’t want to receive? 😀 🙁

Great idea in theory, though I imagine the insurance boys and health and safety apparatchiks might have something to say on the matter…

Buggers! Now I’ve got that old Kia-Ora advert theme tune in my head… “I’ll walk your dog”

Grrrr

Speaking of classic children’s aviation-themed books, my favourite was The Machine Gunners by Robert Westall. Classic. Must have read it 20 times!

Read it when I was a nipper. Good yarn. 🙂
