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

I would like to propose to the moderators that this thread be moved out of the members only forum and into the public domain, if for no other reason than to attract more content to the thread. This is a timely, relevant, and important topic.
Thread moved
Schmedlap,
Done as requested and into the 'Military - Other' thread. If it attracts derision and more I shall say you paid me!

for donkey - left rear kick into Mr Trail's gonads ? Looks like a pretty good target from this armchair.
Cheers - love this thread.

Bet the donkey knows it isn't supposed to be carrying the handler's pack in addition to its normal load and is protesting the only way it knows how.
