    Australia has just suffered its first fatality in post-war Iraq, and this is how they handled getting the body back.

    It's HUGE news here, but given the much larger fatality list in the US, I wouldn't mind betting this kind of thing happens every month over there. Probably barely makes the news even.

    Am I right?

    Wouldn't be surprised, either, if this creates a bit more anti-war feeling here in Australia. We had one big march when the invasion ... I mean, liberation first took place. Since then, bugger all.

    That's fucked up, I don't believe he could have shot him self while cleaning the pistol. While taking a pistol apart there wouldn't be a time when its pointed directly at your head or your doing it wrong. I know cause I can take mine apart blind folded :wink:

    Yeah I'm always suspicious about the gun cleaning stories whenever I hear them. I would be more apt. to believe it was careless forgetfulness he might have had it locked, loaded and the hammer locked back and someone picked it up BAM! That’s more reasonable to believe. Rule #1 grasp the weapon with your finger outside the trigger guard as a habit. No need to place the finger inside the guard unless you intent to pull the trigger.

    As for the body being misplaced. Probably some communists antiwar faggots that planned it all out complete with a whole group of parasites I mean news reporters there to act surprised and exploit it for all its worth.

    Actually. All that about sending bodies hither and dither seems a wee bit pink. Not high-cost though. As long as those doing mosat of the dying are iraqui....
