A joint patrol of US and Iraqi troops is believed to have mistaken the flying shoe for a grenade. So there you go! A grenade will fit into a slipper perfectly.
Case closed.

Too bad they didn’t kill him. He will do other stupid things until someone does.

“People that live in muslim countries, should not throw slippers at well armed americans. “
1000 yrs from now, muslim ladies will tell their children that “moral of the story” and the kids will have no clue what heck mom is talking about.

It wasn’t a shoe, I wasn’t an adult, and it wasn’t a bunch of Marines, but from some event that was sort of similar that I was involved in, I’d bet that he has learned his lesson.

Picture you as some “rag head” in the streets of Iraq. Picture further how pissed you are seeing U.S. Peace Keepers in your street. Picture your choices: Don't throw sandals; throw sandals armed army patrol and watch incoming "hot lead". You be the judge of the smartest decision.
