Stand up and fight like real men

by Bob Boynton

The thing was the crazy colonists wouldn’t fight like real men. They hid behind trees. They refused to form a line and duke it out.

Okay, that was then. We — the militaries of the world — have learned better in 200 years. Right?

An Isaf spokeswoman told the BBC there had been no civilian casualties in the blast that killed the Canadians and that all signs pointed to the Taleban.

“Certainly it lends itself to the type of tactic that Taleban extremists use,” Lt Col Angela Billings said.

“Because they cannot beat us conventionally or tactically, they resort to this type of tactic in order to hide in the shadows.”

Maybe 200 years is not enough.
