Why should you be fired from your job?I spent three years "working" in the Ministry of Agriculture carefully crafting projectiles out of folded paper and drawing pins that I would then fire at colleagues with an elastic band. On discovering I'd been conducting all-out warfare when I should really have been in a field counting cows, I was asked to "reconsider my career options" outside the service.
Why, then, should you be fired from your job?

Well it all started with the CIA......rocking up at our Command Post out in Iraq. The 'war' had just started and we were all jolly keen and still believed in concepts like 'integrity' and 'honesty', especially from politicians. Did I mention we also believed in 'naivety'?
Anyway, this CIA hood turns up and starts blithering on about how a load of evil terrorists had taken up residence nearby (approx 1km) and would be be awfully nice Brit allies and call an airstrike in on it.
'Of course we would, US chum' we said and off we toddled to 'get eyes on' and so forth.
To cut a long story short - it wasn't an enemy stronghold. It was actually a compound belonging to the family of a man who had some blood fued going with the CIA man's interpreter...
...so much for that 'Special Relationship'.
On a positive note, I can record that we scored a direct hit and that we complied fully with the resultant...errrmmm...military investigation.
Strangely enough, the CIA chap was never traced. Perhaps he was fired, eh? ;)
And yes - all war is evil. Please don't flame me for doing my job. Ahem.
