I dare to think the unthinkable

I'm sure you want to mix your genes with camels, inflatable or otherwise.

You'd be mistaken, but there are people who are out in the desert away from
their wives for long periods. People have needs, is all I'm saying...

The Air Force doesn't "miss".

It does, and far too often.

Nope. They hit what they're aiming at. ...if nukes are
involved, even more so.

A British camera crew were filming when a USAF plane bombed the wrong
crossroads - the one they were on.

They were aiiiming at that crossroads. Perhaps someone gave them the
wrong address. ...perhaps not. ;-)

Their interpreter was killed. Maybe American station don't show video
that shows their own side making mistakes.

Mistakes happen. My bet is that the mistaike was well upstream of the
"aiming".

Everyone makes mistakes in wartime. It just seems that the American rule
of thumb is "if in doubt, fire" whereas other armies say "if in doubt,
don't fire".

When they're shootin' at me, I'm shottin' first. Seems reasonable to one
who hasn't been shot at. Have you?

...though it's apparent you "missed" the point.

No, I know what you meant.

ducks to avoid 'friendly fire'

"friendly"?

Yes, that's the military euphemism for being shot at by your own side.

Again, "friendly"?

A spelling mistake. Or, at best, a transliteration error.

Good point! In order to enjoy the benefits of not having people annoy us
we should kill those who do.
Excellent!


No, because when you kill one you annoy all his relatives. Think
Cerberus.

All that means is that you have to change your name to 'America' (or possibly
'Israel').

When you kill anyone, you're killing a part of us all.

That was also my father's impressions... universally polite, and he
had no safety concerns... just couldn't cope with sashimi ;-)

Particularly the glow-in-the-dark kind.

Technology has advanced, and you can now buy fish that glow (albeit due to a
gene transplanted from fluorescent jellyfish). All without nuclear hazards.

I too think it may be time for glow-in-the-dark camels.

Now there's a novelty love toy.

Are we talking inflatable rubber,

You would think about inflatable rubber camels.

or genetically modified?

I'm sure you want to mix your genes with camels, inflatable or otherwise.

...though perhaps
we missed our chance.

If it's the US army, they miss just about everything :-

Well, as long as it's your part I'm less bothered.
OTOH some people deserve it and we are all enriched by their demise.
