Oooops! Must have been some Iraqi on the trigger!

Gardening in a combat zone!

This reminds me of a similar situation out here in California. Back about 15 or so years ago there was a chunk of private farmland/oak woodland that was situated between Camp Roberts, an Army National Guard facilty, and Fort Hunter Liggett, another even bigger ANG/US Army installation. They used to lob Tank fired projectiles from the gunnery range at Camp Robts up onto FHL. One day Mr. Farmer was on his tractor working up his fields on this sliver of land and KABOOM, a very NEAR miss detonates in his field. After multiple Underwear changes the old timer goes after Uncle Sam who I believe ultimately bought his sliver of land in the Hot Zone.

To bad for these guys killin' snow, they probably won't be able to play with their big gun anymore after this one.
