US 82 Airborne Div personnel, just now on Sean Langan's programme.

Oh come on. It's a well-known quote[1], and it was disproved by the American bombing of Serbia. Besides, you're a lovely bloke who wouldn't hurt a fly. [1] http://varnam.org/blog/archives/000132.html
But Serbia was bombed by NATO, not the US as a sovereign state, and they weren't at war they were effecting a UN mandate.
By the end of the programme, it wasn't even the "quote of the hour". USMC: They're trying to stop us doing what we need to do. SL: Which is? USMC: Er, I dunno. Not by me, it isn't. Even if it was, I see no reason why I should be compared to that gormless Brummie pillock. Bombing != War. <pulls legs off spider> -- | ___ Salad Dodger |/ \ _/_____\_ GL1500SEV/CBR1100XXX/KH500A8/TS250C |_\_____/_| ..67012../..15994.../..3157./.19406 (>|_|_|<) TPPFATUICG#7 DIAABTCOD#9 YTC#4 PM#5 |__|_|__| BOTAFOT #70 BOTAFOF #09 two#11 WG* \ |^| / IbW#0 & KotIbW# BotTOS#6 GP#4 \|^|/ ANORAK#17 '^' RBR-Visited:43 Pts: 870 Miles:3116
Sorry, Neal, I know you're not really from Birmingham. Great. My first ever usenet death threat, and I can't even begin to take it seriously. -- | ___ Salad Dodger |/ \ _/_____\_ GL1500SEV/CBR1100XXX/KH500A8/TS250C |_\_____/_| ..67012../..15994.../..3157./.19406 (>|_|_|<) TPPFATUICG#7 DIAABTCOD#9 YTC#4 PM#5 |__|_|__| BOTAFOT #70 BOTAFOF #09 two#11 WG* \ |^| / IbW#0 & KotIbW# BotTOS#6 GP#4 \|^|/ ANORAK#17 '^' RBR-Visited:43 Pts: 870 Miles:3116

<fx: mists of time> I watched many plod put a minor member of the Royal family into many black bin liners at West Ealing. I was held there with a full vistarama of the aftermath of a mixture of 14 pints of snakebite [1]; "no one loves me - goodbye cruel world" and the up Plymouth sleeper (which I'd been following). At first light I noticed they'd missed several key parts. [1] I was pretty impressed she found the fucking station.
