Yeah, we should have those hearts and minds in no time.A box of leaflets dropped by an RAF plane in Afghanistan landed on and killed a young girl, the Ministry of Defence said.
The box should have broken apart in mid-air but struck the young girl intact. She was taken to a hospital in Kandahar where she died. The leaflets were dropped over a rural area of Helmand province by an RAF C130 Hercules on June 23.

Well you could be more subtle about it: there's no need to beat them over the head with this stuff!

Re: Leaflet Fail
Thats rather upsetting. So the box failed to do what it should have... in the US, that would be lawsuit time.
No trees were killed in transmission of this message. However, some electrons were mildly inconvenienced.

Fortunately in Afghanistan you can just throw a couple thousand Afghanis at them and they'll go away. Not that any nation but Canada does that mind you, which is why they deliberately cause traffic accidents with our vehicles.stitch626 wrote:Thats rather upsetting.
