ABL

According to a spokesperson of the military union, the Belgian army is almost out of bullets. There are four rounds left per soldier. An order for several million rounds has been cancelled because of errors in the order form or something.

My country, right or wrong !! This is the absurd Belgium I like !

A worldide ban on bullets ! If all the machos in the world - military and other - were running around shouting "pang ! pang !" instead of firing bullets, the world would be a far better place to live in.

For my foreign readers : ABL stands for Armée belge - Belgisch leger.
