    Nope. I'm just whoring for karma with an obvious and peurile joke that I think is about the level of what the average /.er thinks is funny.

  2. But look how afraid the US is of war casualties by DABANSHEE · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Someone blows up a USMC base in Lebanon they run home with their tails between they're legs.

    Same again in Somalia.

    Look at the Kosovan campaign where servicemen weren't allowevdbelow 30000 feet & where the Apaches were barred from crossing the border because they were afraid of even risking casualties.

    Really the best thing that could happen to the US in Afghanistan is for the US to have lots of battle casualties & then stick it out to the end. That show 'em.
