No sh*t, there we were.

In summer 2003 the Ministry of Oil in central Baghdad (guarded at the time by our HHC) was subjected to a donkey cart rocket launcher attack. Insurgents put the donkey in the field, triggered, and ran. The poor donkey didn't survive. The missiles went wild, but at least one hit the target.

We suggested a Donkey Defeat Organization with a multi-billion dollar budget to create electromagnetic and space based countermeasures.

If only they had listened ... we had some locals up the road get slotted by a DBIED in 2005 near Kandahar. Wasn't much left of ol' Eeyore after that either.

The huge explosion showered the soldier standing on “top cover” out of the Mastiff’s turret with donkey entrails and blood, and the sight was so gruesome that the rest of those in the vehicle thought he had been mortally wounded in the blast, south of Garmsir in southern Helmand province.
