Oh my - you couldn't make it up...

Kazakhstan's shooting team has been left stunned after a comedy national anthem from the film Borat was played at a medal ceremony at championships in Kuwait instead of the real one. The team asked for an apology and the medal ceremony was later rerun.

When you design tactics to maximise suffering on civilian populations and your only constraint is operational rather than moral, you've told the world who you are.

When I was in the military, we used to add "ski" on the end of words... like brewski. Don't ask me why, we thought it was funny. Anyway, I answered the phone one day to a colonel that asked for Captain Lewinski and I started laughing since the guy's name was really Lewin. The colonel wasn't pleased.

This kind of reminds of that.
