#1 Posted by 'spiffo' yesterday. This is nasty, tough work for those who are trained and properly equipped - we were joking around a bit when Governor Sebilius brought in smokejumpers to protect Greensburg but as a foot unit; we wanted to go see these highly trained professionals go chase a prarie fire with flyswatters (the locals' mechanized VolFire would have responded and helped of course). Looking at that policeman fighting the fire with what looks like a garden tool, I hope the air support used in Greece is re-tooled and ready to help here - folks, appreciate our best trained and equipped fire fighters in the world.
If this play is audibled here in the states, I propose: attempted murder charges for each smoke inhalation case, murder charge for each death, tacked onto terrorism and all other related charges (hell throw in camping without a license etc.) for those caught and found guilty using this indescriminate (and cowardly, barbaric) war weapon/tactic. Better yet, have them go 'turn the head' (of a fire) with a rake. |
