That guy in Afghanistan was from Illinois. They don't get guns as children, so they don't always turn out to be such great fighter pilots as adults. As an example, O'Hare airport is named after one who got shot down. Anyway, he never apologized, but I will. I am sorry about what happened, and everyone else I know in Illinois is too. It might have been based on a long simmering grudge, as addressed below.

And far be it from me to criticize your military. Americans well remember Dieppe, Ned Flander's Field, the Ft. Dearborn Massacre, and the battle of Ft. Wilderness. Y'all were on the right side at least half of the time, but your naked Christmas Eve agression towards Chicago and Detroit in the not-so-distant past are seared, seared into the memories of the good gun-shunning people of the midwest. Believe me, every time a Canadian visits Chicago its always remember-Ft. Dearborn this, or lets get the Canuck that. I'm just saying, watch your backs when you got the Illinois Air National Guard around. They are gunning for you people. But you didn't hear that from me.

Hmm. I have only ever experienced naked New Years Eve aggression in Chicago, and if I remember correctly, it was pretty well received. But your points are duly noted (and I will take them to the grave).
