You would have at least shown a liking or even possibly an understanding of quality humour if you had quoted Bill Hicks or Doug Stanhope. Quoting Moron the cable guy can't be seen as anything less than a love for NASCAR worshipping pig squeeling rednecks. The day that idiot writes something funny or intelligent will be in his suicide note.
My experience with the US hobby of blue on blue? Only in excersise and on a firepower demo, think it was Salisbury Plain. We had given our pert of the demo 81mm HE, WP smoke etc (WP on delay make nice roman candle effects). Arty and SF guys had done some nice revving up of the targets also. Then a couple of harriers popped in with excercise munitions and zapped the red tanks quite nicely. But hang on here are the highlights of the show, the one thing we had all been looking forward to seeing. 2 x A10's (we were gutted they werent cleared to use their Avengers) droned in and dropped their markers.....on the 2 x blue tanks (already designated as friendly). Cue 42 commando falling on their arses laughing their heads off and a few red faced HQ elements etc. This happened in 92, only a year after those poor buggers in the Warrior found out that the enemy don't always vote Saddam.
Also whilst working with the USMC in Virginia Beach we were given an interesting and scary nugget of info by one the sgt's. Just over 400 service personel had been killed in range accidents the previous year within the US forces.
400? I'm sure that M-16's have safety catches don't they?. Down targets...patch out.
