How is it that each of them were holding a malfunctioning grenade-launcher????


Found this on the Fox.news site while searching for Mk-19 info, strange how they each died from the same thing??????? Cover-up maybe???

Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

It's possible they were all huddled around the same weapon. The author(s) of the obit were probably unclear as to who was actually the triggerman.Originally Posted by maniclion
Regardless...... if you're within 10 meters when an RPG misfires you can kiss your ass goodbye.
