I recall reading about some people in Somalia or somesuch E. African country hearing that US troops were going to show up, and they'd better watch out, because our guys were equipped with the latest "less-than-lethal" weapons. IIRC, the locals thought this was hilarious and planned to show up in huge crowds, knowing they wouldn't get killed, just irritated. Do not some people understand that the Third World folks grow up in the real world as it used to be for all of us 200 years ago? I think lots of them are naturally a lot tougher than most of us, just from growing up in a hard-scrabble society. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2004/09/quotation_of_the_rotation.html#comment-6814 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2004/09/quotation_of_the_rotation.html#comment-6814 Fri, 17 Sep 2004 01:47:21 -0600 Coming from the blogosphere's gentleman warrior, I will accept that compliment with humble gratitude.
