    So did the military do a study on whether the area might be prone to flash fires, or did they just drop incendiary bombs without worrying about it? There is a difference between training and stupidity.

    And why should anyone stress out over neg reps? Reps are meaningless.

    I assume you'll also be starting a thread on civilian fuck ups just to keep things fair and balanced ?

    Just for comparison, this is a picture of several dozen flares going off at once.



    ...and this is an incendiary bomb.



    Hmmmmm, I don't think they're the same thing, myself.

    Haven't heard any more on it, but most likely the flare drifted with the wind and started a fire away from the firing range. Flares do that.
    When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

    Much Smarter People than you (or me, for that matter) get paid good money to assess risks associated with training. Libs LOVE - they SALIVATE (I've seen it happen) ANY TIME anybody associated with the Military is (gasp!) wrong, or something else happens. You want blood? Maybe we demand a Study to explain why more soldiers died in training accidents in the last few years of the Clinton Presidency, than have died during the Iraq war?
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
