I feel sad today.

Yesterday we had two soldiers died by 'friendly fire' in Afghanistan. This is the first time and it's realy bad.

In this artikel they say the died by insurgents but that was wrong I just learned.

I'm sorry to hear that Fish, you'll be alright.

I'm not jumping for joy either. I have SH4 running and its like Japan is taking a vacation, I'm really hungry and the takeaways are shut, and there's no beer.

Well, **** happens. Just be careful and take it easy. That's all you can do. Just do what you were taught, and you'll make it. Use your brain and find your meaning.

Things are tough all over, I've got one of the most important exams of my life in less than 12 hours, my brain feels like a melon.

Go get some rest, my friend. You'll make it fine. Remember to come back here for a celebration!

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn;
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Lest We Forget.

The British have lost the most to friendly fire in recent years IIRC......yet each and every further incident is no easier to come to terms with.

Heibges · 01-15-08, 06:06 PM

I was really upset when I heard those American pilots talking about the "orange" rockets" on top of those British tanks (they were NATO panel markers). Listening to the pilots talking you couldn't help but think those guys were real idiots. Like most military pilots.

But the worst is undoubtedly Pat Tillman shot in the forehead with a 3 round burst from an M-16 at 10 yards. Tillman had been telling the buy to stop being such a whiner, and appartently the guy just shot him.
