Thanks for that pic, I42.
What a marvellous image for a thought-bubble caption competition - starting with Corporal 'Radar' O'Reilly on the left.
Eight wicked opportunities in the one shot!


Thanks also to Dave Reid for that link to a previous thread on the subject.
Part of a post therein, by LJR, caught my attention ...
"Mines that are designed to specifically target personnel (often without discrimination) are often called anti-personnel mines." (my bold.)

So, does that mean that 'Discriminating' anti-personnel mines are also available?
We could have used a couple of those to deal with a particularly stupid and gung-ho one-pipper who was very likely going to get us all killed.
(Thankfully, before too long, those above 'twigged' and he was transferred to 'other duties' before something nasty happened.)
