#4 Can anyone tell me if they think our side does the same thing?

Please restate the question, Just asking. What thing do you mean? The Taliban don't have helicopters to be shot down, unless the ISI has given them some. Our press releases don't contain run-on sentences, although I wouldn't mind if our writers employed a more lyrical style... And our side doesn't lie about damage inflicted on the enemy, or cut off heads with rusty swords, although this particular Talib press release didn't mention that activity favoured by their membership.

#5 And our side would have at least one injured if it went up against the Borg.

#8 plus the article said the troops where scampering away carrying a chinook engine. I'm no expert but I would guess that a chinook engine is pretty damn large. And I stayed at a Holiday Inn last nite
