jt:

A few more words in response to yours: Land mines are horrible.

I have never seen a worse casualty than a G.I. who stepped on one and lived. No descriptions needed.

But they are the sinister weapon that protects defenders and are left like graffiti but hidden. I don't know how they're ever going to get rid of all the minefields laid in third world places by reckless combatants. Cleaning up the battlefields by the losers should be an international requirement. In North Africa the colonials ran herds of camels over suspected fields in advance of the sappers blowing up the animals instead of the troops.

Princess Dianne was a great supporter of mine eradication, but she's gone too. It's a vast problem.
