"Found these in the Zaporizhzhya direction. The enemy is throwing chocolates with an explosive mechanism. Do not open them under any circumstances. Our guy was lucky that it did not detonate, otherwise he could have ended up crippled. I know guys whose fingers were torn off like that."
Ah, this reminds the time when cluster munitions were bright yellow, so you could spot them and stay away.
And food aid packages were bright yellow, so you could spot them and easily collect them.
Yeah...
Oh man, when was that?
During the early occupation of Afghanistan after 2001. Here's a news article from 2003 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/2912617.stm
Note that that wasn't on purpose.
Wow. I guess those two teams didn't talk often, which tracks.
Happy cake day!
