Probably. I was reading recently about camel racing in the Emirates. Up until
recently they used very young kids as jockeys, that is until the international
outcry forced the owners to change. They're now using small robots as jockeys -

So have I.
I was referring to the tactics of small units actually getting out into the
neighbourhoods, and staying there rather than hiding on large bases and going
out on isolated raids.
The idea is hearts and minds rather than John Wayne bullshit.

Unfortunately, I think that it's an issue that will never go away.
The racehorse industry brings in BILLIONS of dollars a year. In NJ alone,
the industry brought in 1.1 Billion dollars last year. Equine related land
is one-fifth of the agricultural acreage in NJ. Of course it is a small

I still see no comments about whipping an animal during a race as NOT being

Yeah, it looks like that's the case to me as well. The explosion seems to

that certain weapons fire sources can be triangulated, but the comment that
it requires three rounds fired is puzzling in this day of high technology.
