#2 "EOD blew the ordnance and weapons on site."

Ouch! Ya know, their "Neighborhood Watch" may not be the best, but I just have to believe SOMEONE in the neighborhood would have noticed:
265 mortar rounds...47 rockets...22 rocket-propelled grenade rounds...50 land mines...300 pounds of homemade explosive...150 pounds of other explosive material and more than 70,000 rounds of small arms ammunition!!

oh wait...someone DID!! :)

I sure hope one of the EOD guys drawled: "Ya'll have a nice day" as they drove away from the smoldering hole left behind!
