    It's actually a surprise that there haven't been more incidents like this. I remember the fragging incident in 2003 really well and would have thought that there would have been more like it; they've been there 6 years now after all. There were definitely single killings, often portrayed as accidents, but looks like only two major 'fragging' type incidents so far.

    I blame MTV.

    It does make we wonder: if shooting your allies is friendly fire then what do you call shooting members of your own army?

    Treasonous mass murder?
    If the banks are out for a bail,
    and Lenny's efforts end up as a fail,
    when the Somer does come,
    to the Country they'll run,
    And leave a Fine mess for the Gael.

    Endinf the one Party (FF) state:

    Last week one afternoon an 18 year old black man came to my door selling subscriptions for magazines. It was an interesting encounter. He was from Harlem and was a member of a Christian Church that I never heard of. He got 40 bucks out of me which was a miracle in itself. He thought Obama was a great man and I told him he was getting him confused with Medger Evers. I had a good chat with this lad and even though he had little education was very knowledgeable.

    Anyway he was telling me about his brother who was in the army. His brother had told him that he had killed 9 people. He had joined the army because he needed the small amount of money they are paid. The pressure must be severe

    Suicides are rampant as well.
