How long 'till US goes to Libya?

OR accidents happen, it's not like it would be the first time (or last).

Battlefields are crazy places and it's hard to tell what's going on given the already loosely defined combat zones, I'm surprised there hasn't been more attrition really.

I just thought it was funny that the rebels managed to fire RPGs in the exact wrong/opposite direction, on their own city, rather than on Gadhafi's bunkers.

Well, I guess they could be drunk... I mean, you need a lot of moral to take place in a war, and that was a big solution in WWII, give the men alcohol, and they're not scared, they also die quicker though...

Uhhh what??

Regardless, I think the main problem is an oppressive dictator is trying to kill them EVERY DAY. That's pretty good motivation...

As for firing an RPG in the wrong direction, it's not like there's a big arrow painted on enemy targets. Heck I bet half of you would get lost walking around Edmonton WITH clearly marked roads and a classic grid pattern...

Indeed, but its something you want to be careful about. It could be your own house you hit.

Well you gotta remember that many of the rebels fighting there may not be from that city, even still, it's not as easy as you think to get even that right when they have little to no organization.

I'm not saying it'd be easy. But it is something /I/ would try and be careful about.
