gums, the risks of unexploded munitions from the CBU's are not just to civilians, unlike the dishonest article linked to begin this thread.

A very good friend of mine commanded a fuel truck company in an FSB during desert storm. (Let's say he had about 4 days of no sleep, among other things). A few days after the shooting stopped, his Humvee, with him and his driver in it, encountered an unexploded bomblet that blew up. Mostly damaged the Humvee, but I think J__ soiled his trousers. His driver ended up with a broken bone do to the accident.

It could have been worse.
