Sounds like my luck with those random event cards that are all the rage these days in games. Karma? |

Muslims do not eat pork… it appears the reverse is all together different! |

Poor pigs, DAESH is probably poisonous! |

Interesting new name for "them" Lion. Thanks for that. |

I recall Grafenwoehr having packs of nasty wild boars. Nobody died, but I saw many 'warriors' fleeing for the safety of their vehicles when the boars came around. A few enterprising GIs played boar hog polo using a jeep, two GIs and a pole from the camouflage nets. pjm |

I was not there, and kind of hope the story is true, but… Unless they have some kind of super powerful and well organized boars, I'm going to have to call B.S. I know pigs can kill men (but VERY rarely do). I would find it hard to believe that a wild pig killed one armed combatant. Killing three and wounding five more is too much to believe. Maybe there was fratricide involved and some fool, panicked and opened up with an automatic weapon? |

@Skipper John: DAESH is the Arabic acronym of their name, it apparently translates to "armed thug" in Arabic so the actual members of DAESH hate it. Which is why I use it, though sadly I managed to annoy The Editor and got "DAESH bags" (minus the space, I think you can guess how it's said) entered into the bleep-o-matic. Pretty much noone but the US media calls them the Islamic State or ISIS. |

Maybe there was fratricide involved and some fool, panicked and opened up with an automatic weapon? I'd go with that, jumpy young ideologues with automatic weapons, and probably little drill, what could go wrong? And bear in mind a lot of their volunteers from Europe, N. America, etc are originally urbanites and probably wouldn't know that boar were potentially dangerous until it they were too close… |
