    We should dig them up so we can replant them a few miles away in different locations....you know, because the defense industry needs to save as much money as possible since they never get their fair share.

    Have no fear--there is no shortage nor will there be.

    Whilst the older ones are being removed--or usually carrying out their intended purpose of maim and murder--new IED and manufactured devices are being planted every day!

    These folks have been fighting with someone over something for thousands of years. With the glut of military ordinance due to overproduction and reduced fighting, there will always be more to plant. And more to fight about.

    Ain't it grand?

    Restores your faith in mankind, don't it?
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Thank God they are a renewable resource... Thank God war is a renewable resource. I always laugh when I hear people calling for a final end to war, everlasting peace, etc. Human nature hasn't changed since it's beginnings. Why would anyone expect it to change now ?
