Our military is so good soldiers can piss around corners

Maybe I should get this off my chest. I don't believe the military's account of how a Koran got splattered by a guard's urine. The reason is not that I have completely lost trust in the military's credibility (although I have a lot less faith than I did a couple of years ago, and that goes for Pat Tilman's parents as well). It's that the story, in its face, seems like something obviously made up. We are supposed to believe that a guard was relieving himself outside near the open window of a cell. His pee was allegedly carried by a gust of wind, which somehow managed to guide the pee around and into an open window, where the Koran and a detainee were unfortunately placed. I mean: come off it. They have no latrines? There are ground-level open windows for prisoners? Our military is so high-tech that their pee can now turn corners? Maybe someone out there can help me understand this story better. Have I missed something? Or is this as laughable on its face as it appears to be?

2. STFU!!! You know damn well that this is a government inspired and,...

Place responsibility squarely where it belongs!!! Please.

4. What do you expect...

...from a trickle-down economy but a trickle-on prison?

5. This happens to me all the time

I am forever trying to pee in our toilet, and forgetting to close the window. Next thing you know, whooooosh! a gust of wind comes in, and suddenly the pee is sucked out of the toilet and into the AC vent, and spattering all over the guest bedroom clear on the other side of the house.

Of course, I'm a vet, so it's not as crazy as it sounds.

6. We can't shoot down an incoming enemy missile

But we can guide a stream of urine through an open window without the benefit of GPS.
