Reading the pages of that article absolutely amazes me. Is this for real?


As the helicopters came in to attack, Lt Denton said, one of the men turned to face him and dropped to his knees. "I think he knew that there was no hope," he said. "He was making his peace."
Or trying to surrender!

Using its cannon and then its rockets, the Apache finished off all the Taliban fighters it could find, then launched nail-filled rockets and dropped white phosphorous to destroy the motorcycles and the machine guns.
Nail filled rockets and white phos!!!
What rules are they playing under?

"The odds are on our side. I really enjoy it. I told my wife, if I could come home every night then this would be the perfect job."
I guess the children must be really proud of you!
