Reply #23: so much ignorence......

[pelsar]

It seems that Hizballa was shooting from near the UN compound

and for those who know little about artillary/bombs may be surprised to discover that they dont always where go where they're supposed to....inquiring minds might even do some basic research about it, in fact the more rounds fired the less exact the firing becomes....such is life in a war zone.


for those who have no idea:
"Artillery will fall short. Planes will drop their bombs in the wrong place. A soldier will lift his head up when someone behind him shoots his rifle," he says. "It's very hard to track the casualties and the causes of them in action.

from what i keep on reading in this place its as if the IDF is somekind of perfect machine where everything works perfectly at all time.....the lack of experience here and agressive ignorence is quite telling.....some of the posters here should go and learn abit about the realities of warfare....assuming they actually want to know whats going on, as opposed to just reacting out an emotional need.

(the most interesting post was the meger lists of "mistakes" the IDF has made in the last years...so much shooting and so few mistakes is quite impressive)
