As they were Murcans I'm surprised they didn't hit their own truck.  :wink:

I exclaimed "Oh sh*t!!" at the moment of that strike and that's exactly what the US soldier said seconds later. Certainly a 'Oh sh*t!!' moment. No survivors there I expect. I wanted to see the damage after the smoke cleared.

The thing for me is that I can't imagine what it would be like to be anywhere near something like that. You'd never know what was coming if it was a direct hit but there is nothing to compare it to. Here's another one.

Well at least death must surely be instantaneous.

Are those "compounds" or quite extensive groups of buildings really only occupied by Taliban?

If the taliban are in the local area and looking for a scrap, its obvious.  All the local villagers literally dissapear.  Its what we call atmospherics

.... :happy2: That's good to know because, whatever the rights and wrongs of the two sides in armed conflict, the deaths/injuries to civilians should always be avoided in my opinion. Human collateral damage doesn't cut it for me.

Anyone watching "Homeland" on TV? Very good series methinks.

We'll probably never know and if there's any justice in the world with their  IED tactics then the Taliban wouldn't ever know either.....

....Are you saying that IED's are worse than other armaments? Don't they do the same damage as mines?

Each side believes it is in the right and will naturally use every means at its disposal.

I think the expression is that "All is fair in love and war".
