1. Thats so f***ing incredible

Those old enough to remember Vietnam know how behavior like this grew the enemy until 'victory' was just not possible.

What evidence is there that it was just a flash grenade?

5. A minor nitpick..
A "goatherd" is a person who herds goats..

A "goat herd" is a herd of goats..

These morans should be court martialed for endangering their fellow troops.
