War Is Hell

Alas, can't include it directly into this posting but take a look at this YouTube offering.

Done that? Right. Things you might conclude from this, and by the numbers:

1. Allah is not Chinese, or if He is then He's not playing for the home-team's arms industry.

2. The power of prayer does not, apparently, extend to precluding weapon malfunctions.

3. If Al Quaeda offers you a job, don't check the box for "Artillery Division" or, for that matter, "Videography".

4. Ballistics 101 must be optional at terrorist school, or at the least these happy-campers missed the bit about laying down a repeatable pattern. Repeat after me, "mortars are not hand-guided weapons."

5. When videoing dangerous military operations, splash out for the really long telephoto lens. Your softer, fleshier parts will thank you later-on.

6. If Iran really is supplying these weapons to Iraqi insurgents then we should do everything we can to encourage the expansion of this trade.

Peace out.

yikes! trying to work out if he dropped the shell into the tube the wrong way round!

Suppose it doesn't matter.....it all came to a sticky end!

Hmm, never thought that he may have dropped it in backwards. Took a look but couldn't really tell. As you say, a somewhat moot question given the result!
