#3 I guess standing next to someone whose head had just exploded for no apparent reason might well give rise to a bit of confusion.

#4 Might have been a few pints raised back at the Squadron, and rightfully so.

#7 Alan, see, the problem is that current SAS guys are too mean. Really, killing three unarmed men who were just practicing their religion is beyond the pale.

#10 RiV, don't I know it. That sums up the attitude of our current regime to a tee. The only folks you can be mean too are Republicans and Juice (of the wrong kind).

#12 Didn't know the .50's could be used on 'personnel'. Thought the .50 ROE was only for vehicles and such, or maybe that's just for the 'mericans.

Not sayin' that the gentleman wasn't correct in implementing the utilization, though.

#13 A legend born of the Vietnam War MR. A misunderstanding tuned into urban legend.

#14 I've read many accounts from WWII about what happens when a 50 cal hits a limb. Basically severs it.

#15 There are a few decent pictures of the aftermath of a .50 hit on someone at Google images. Warning, not for the faint of heart.
