God bless our troops and give 'em hell...Put them with their 70 Virgins...
I can think of nothing worse than to be with 70 Virgins for eternity..70 ex-virgins after I got there would be worth going..

Friendly fire is an unfortunate attribute of warfare. Ever since the first projectile from a Ballista fell short, or an urn full of Greek Fire was accidentally overturned, warriors have suffered at the hands of friend and foe alike. No doubt the Liberal lick-spittle appeasers of Canada will attempt to turn this tragic event into political gain, so the Troopies in Afghanistan can be twice wounded by friendly fire...once in 'Stan and again back home. The veracity of the reporter is suspect as he partially writes in the present tense as if he were there as it happened. Is Canada imbedding reporters now as the Americans do? I doubt the reporter was there. He reports the A-10 fired a "10 second burst". That is extremely unlikely as that would require a rebuilding of the Gau/8 gatling gun. Anyway, I shouldn't divert attention from the tragedy here. I couldn't imagine a more demoralizing way of watching a fellow soldier die. All attempts must be made to ensure casualties from friendly fire never happen again. I'm proud of what our servicemen and women are doing in Afghanistan and the Canadian public must remember that if politicians want Canada to be a player on the international stage, then unfortunately some of our soldiers will be killed in the service of peace.
CHIMO!
