Nice Shootin', Tex!
US soldiers, on average, fire 900,000 rounds of ammo to kill one Iraqi insurgent.
Libertarians, My Libertarians!
Cruel to be kind means that I love you . Because, while I think you are mistaken, your hearts are in the right place -- yes, even you, Silas -- unlike some people . This Breitbart fellow (discussed in the link above), by all appearances, deliberately doctored a video of Shirley Sherrod to make her remarks appear virulently racist, when they had, in fact, the opposite import. I heard that at a recent Austrian conference, some folks were talking about "Callahan's conservative turn." While that description is not entirely inaccurate, I must say that a lot of these people who today call themselves conservative give me the heebie-jeebies.
"the U.S. military's use of small caliber ammunition has risen to 1.8 billion rounds."
ReplyDeleteIs this figure out of context?
Is every single small caliber ammunition used by the US military only used in an attempt to kill a mid-eastern gunslinger? Or maybe just in an attempt to kill mid-east babies and women.
Perhaps a larger caliber would be advised.
Good point, TT. I saw a revised figure of 250,000 the other day, by the way.
