There's a difference?

Hell that's nothing. Scotsmen frequently mistake them for girlfriends!

Hell that's mutton. Elephants frequently mistake them for tampons!

They were wolves in sheep's clothing.

...

at least they weren't shooting at schoolchildren?

if I was a taliban fighter I'd routinely hide in a flocks of sheep. Not only would I get to wear sylish sheepskin jackets, any attempt to kill me would make "the west" look foolish.

Also it would give me something to do in the long hours between beating my women and shooting at foreigners.

another #2 sheep bites the dust.

Sweet, according to the article, the Army killed the sheep, but the Air Force could have to pay for it. This could work....

sarcastic664: Sweet, according to the article, the Army killed the sheep, but the Air Force could have to pay for it. This could work....

Just to explain, the Army flies Apaches. The Air Force does not.

I'll bet they weren't counting on that!

/Joke grenade...and I step back...

That's some mighty baaaaad shouting there.

Ewe should be ashamed ewe missed so many.

On the scene:

1st Sheep: It was horrible, we were bleeting and they just would not stop firing.

2nd Sheep: Lambs to the slaughter.

1st Sheep: Oh the ewemanity.

shooting not shouting ewe idiot

Yeah, the OCC is the first thing I thought of too. Too tired to come up with an attempt at humor though.

So who's going to blame the terrorists for using sheep as shields?

adds a twist to the old cliché...

Three sheep in a field. One sheep says, 'Baa.'
Another sheep looks at the first sheep and replies, 'I was going to say that.'
The third sheep responds, 'Hush! You will give us away to the infidels!'

cricket chirping choir in 3... 2...

Me thinks they're killing peoples livelyhood, on purpose.

That's what I was thinking of.

submitter: American chopper pilots in Afghanistan may have mistaken scores of sheep for Taliban fighters

Paul Sr and Junior were arguing over who was flying and Mikey who was supposed to be in charge of targeting was actually asleep and pretty much useless as usual.

Well... They're always behind sheep.

WHere's the Pearl Harbor ThreaD, AdminS? Fall asleep?

gund: So who's going to blame the terrorists for using sheep as shields?

Shepherds.

From TFA: A Nato spokesman said the Americans denied being involved in last Tuesday's shooting.

Oh, it must have been those OTHER Apache helicopters that are around here. Gotcha.

Nixon denied having anything to do with the Watergate coverup too. And what happened to him?

Y'know, if y'all keep shooting up thier sex-lives, it's no wonder they hate the US so much

Not mistaken. The sheep were the new #2's.

/#2 in the Taliban is like wearing a red shirt in Star Trek

mutton is good eating. wasted mutton is a tragedy.

Burn the crops, machine gun the livestock, subjugate the population?

They probably just heard that if you click on the sheep enough times, they explode.

I thought it was just geography that stumped Americans.

No "friendly fire" jokes?

I suppose it's an improvement on confusing clouds with sheep.

Amped up flyboys shooting up stuff? No, say it ain't so.

They were going after the Talibaaaan.

That was cute. Got a smile out of me.

"Accident" - oh, suuuure it was an accident.

"Hey, dude, this radar even picks up the f**king sheep".

"Dude, you know what would be damn funny...?"

"What?"

"Watch this...."

(Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrt! Kapow!)

Both: "LOL!"

ExperianScaresCthulhu: Why do coyotes lick their arses? To get the taste of mutton out of their mouths.

"How could you shoot (women... and children... and) sheep?"

"Easy... ya just don't lead 'em so much!"

The problem with Afghanistan is that there are to many Afghani's.

It's about time we re-introduced the age old tradition.

Prima Noctre.

(First it will be the sheep, next it will be the women)

Maybe they didn't mistake them for Taliban. Maybe they mistook them for a wedding party. That would be a much easier mistake to make.

Were they more or less dangerous than Australian kangaroos? (story, explanation)

We got a Black sheep down. We got a Black sheep down.

Pvt.Ewe Lambert we will not leave you behind.

Get to the chop-baaarr.

We got sheep star. We got sheep star.

Come to Dagobaaah, Come to Dagobaaah.

and I aaaaam spent.

American military technology is a joke, as this demonstrates. Same with American military training. Trigger-happy cowboys. Americans are just plain stupid. Go home, yankee.

Yes, the British Apaches in Afghanistan are figments of the imagination.

If you can get a sheep AND an Al queda member in one shot, does the gunner get double points?

/you know what I'm gettin' at.
