Quote ="Ferocious Aardvark"I remember a droll commentary during the Iraq war to a video of a Cruise missile going down a shaft and expertly blowing up a building; the punch line, a second or so before it hit, was something like "And this is my counterpart's headquarters in Baghdad" or something like, which raised a few chuckles as no doubt dozens of Iraqis in the building met gruesome death.
What, in essence, is the difference between the soldier posing for the picture, and the commander gloating over a good kill on worldwide TV?'"
Exactly right FA. Although I suppose it would depend on what level of hypocrisy you are comfortable with.
And I hate to be the bearer of bad news to our over excitable contributors, but there are literally thousands of photos and videos of these sort of acts on line.
A none event for me, and simply yet another exhibition of the Service's gallows humour. Which unless you have lived it, will not be understood by outsiders.
