I was struck by this phrase, the English language used is, well, different:Link:http://www.foreignpolicy.com/article..._luck_runs_outKishenji found himself cornered, and started a firefight that lasted for over two hours. While the guerrilla leader and his loyalists desperately sprayed the forest with bullets, the CoBRAs retaliated with precision artillery.
We shall have to check on Stan's location.
