...and it was me who called the Apache crew pigs, not Pileup, and I did it deliberately. I judge a pig by its actions.

Out comes the usual agressive banter.... 'armchair generals', 'when did you last see active service?' 'hidden RPG', 'you can't tell unless you were there', yak yak yak, but there was no hidden RPG, and no hint of one unless you think that tractor looked threatening. Its easy to get wound up in militarism if your cause is a just one, cf Falklands, WW2, less easy if its becoming obvious to even the very dim that this aggression is unjustified. If I was in the US military I would hang my head in shame, as it is they, and the American public, appear to glory in the slaughter.
