I don’t think it’s fair to treat any horses US forces encounter as hostile.
Try watching the Closed Captioning on any of the news channels!
The poor bastards that have to transcribe what the reporter is saying are spelling all of the place names phonetically. Sometimes when they can’t keep up, they just put …
Also, it says “BOOM!” when there is an audible explosion
I personally like it when the closed captioning person gets messed up so badly that there is no way back and they just typing alkdjf9oiwenba;slkd for a while before catching up again.
We were watching a show about computers and they had a lot of stuff that I can’t even spell, and the poor guy was getting so messed up— “Operating System Jagr”, “the Intell Selrno Procserro”— just awful. It was so annoying, too, because he was five minutes behind what was actually going on. Then finally he caught on, and he just wrote “…wait…wait…wait…wait…” until he knew where he was again.
