Oops, Sorry Poland!

"Navy ship accidentally fires on Polish port"
http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/europe/10/30/poland.us.navy.shoot/index.html

Okay so this is just funny, but only because no one was injured or killed. Apparently, a navy sailor was cleaning an M240 machine gun when, OOPS, it somehow accidentally went off! Firing several rounds towards Poland! Now, obviously Poland wasn't too happy about this, and immediately Polish police had a look on the ship, but with the Navy's full cooperation, there seems to be no hard feelings. No U.S. soldiers were arrested in the incident, and both parties went peacefully on their way. That's a relief!

  1. Dear Trisha -

    Way to call this funny. My grandfather was a veteran of the Poland-American-M240-Firing-War. It wasn't pretty and many lives were lost. Including my grandfather's best friend Goober. I stand tall and proud for those lost in this tragic war, unlike someone who continually mocks their lives. You should be ashamed of yourself. Tisk tisk.
