#2 spraying graffiti inscriptions on the walls of Palestinian houses

The horror! Tagging buildings makes them worse than teen-age vandals (because the IDF is better armed, of course).

Or does it? I've seen pix post-Katrina of wrecked houses that were tagged with red spray paint to show the building had been searched for survivors.

disclaimer: I have no data on this situation, but given the media tactic of taking a smidgen of fact and spinning it in the worst possible way, suspicions are aroused.

#4 Your boss (superior officer) tells you "Clear the building. Make sure it's not booby trapped. Mark that you've done that."

There's a word for that. It's "an order."

#5 post-Katrina

Just about every building in flooded areas of NO was marked. Penty of buildings in unflooded areas, too. And then there was the gratuitous hateful graffiti... "Kanzas NG wuz here! Deff 2 New Orleenz!" Terrible, it was.

#7 Cypresses are nice. Good for cemeteries and temples and stuff. Dunno what's going on with that canker, though.
