Radigan’s Raiders ((((Ping)))) List!

This is a rather good read. Cannoneer you will find this interesting!

Someone who calls the dropping of a single JDAM “carpet bombing” and who doesn’t know if a company is larger or smaller than a battalion is hardly likely to be able to tell the difference between genuine “collateral damage” — the unwitting, and in some cases avoidable, killing of non-combatants — and a deliberate massacre.

The first rule of dealing with indigenous personnel is they lie. Even when caught red handed, the will lie to your face about something they know you saw them do.

The second rule is everything is exaggerated. The rule thumb was for every 10-12 people reported by them, there would be maybe 1-3 people. You don't know how many times I had taken reports of mass grave sites, with tens to hundreds of dead, only to find 1-2 dead bodies, one of them said someone had a life threating injury to find a stomach ache, or for that matter someone had a broken bone that turned out to be a bruise.

Eye witness reports from them should take that into account when ever heard. -- Capt_M
