review: Gladiator: The Extended Edition

[Entsuropi]

Best educated (which can be debated endlessly) and with the most notoriously high friendly-fire rate

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

Its not that high.

[Skar]

It's certainly notorious, since the American Press absolutely loves it when it happens and touts it endlessly.

I wasn't aware that it was higher than anyone else though.  Curious where you got any figures for the relative frequency of friendly fire?

[Peter Ahlstrom]

There are a lot of (uh...more than one) it's in the review that should be its.

/me certainly hopes someone will fix that.

I admit, I didn't read for grammar that much with this article. My bad.

edit: are you sure there was more than one? Find and Replace only found one instance of "it's" at all. Of course, that instance was wrong, but still.

[The Jade Knight]

I read one report of the Gulf War (the old one, 15 years ago) that reported that 98% of casualties lost were lost to accidents and friendly fire.

But then, that's because Saddam's forces, during that war, hardly managed to kill anyone.

[Skar]

Another statistic from that war is that if you extrapolate the number of injuries and deaths from training exercises in the states to a training exercise as big and as long as that invasion, the invasion was far less dangerous.

Eric, I probably just read that paragraph more than once and noticed it each time.
