All losses are self-inflicted <VBG>

If helicopters come down is because they crashed against each other.

If a jet figheter goes down is because it was hit by a Patriot missile.

If some helicopters are destroyed, it is because they went down due to technical failure and the crew had to destroy them.

But this one beats everything: If the headquarters are attacked by hand granades, they were thrown by their own soldiers!!!!! See news below.

Well, those guys are really underestimating J6Ps!!

What we are missing? The UK taking US troops prisioners?

The US repelling an UK attack? LOL!

A US soldier with the US Army's 101st Airborne Division was arrested on Sunday after an early morning grenade attack on command tents of the division's base at Camp Pennsylvania in Kuwait. One US soldier was killed and 12 injured after three grenades were thrown into command tents before dawn on Sunday morning.

Shots were also fired during the incident, although it is not clear by whom.

Helicopters evacuated 11 of the wounded to field hospitals in the area and two were treated at the scene, a Central Command statement said. It said the attack was under investigation by the US Army Criminal Investigation Command. "A suspect was taken into custody following the attack on ele ents of the 101st Airborne Division. The suspect is a soldier assigned to the division," the statement said.

An American reporter in the camp identified the suspect as a sergeant from an
engineering unit attached to the division. He described the man as disgruntled and said he had been "acting strange".
