Does Belgium issue each soldier one round to be kept in their top pocket until needed? Less live fire exercises means more accidents happen when you have them.

Artillery barrel failed? Only thing making sense to me from that excerpt.

Training to go to war is very nearly as dangerous as war itself.

Kind of silly for Belgium to have an Army anyway.

Belgian newspaper La Libre reported that the incident involved a shooting exercise with an anti-tank weapon that went wrong.

***also sustained hearing damage during the incident. ***
Reminds me of an old 1969 cartoon in (I believe) MAD MAGAZINE in how the US would look upon the war with Japan after the rewrite of history by liberals.

Last cartoon shows FDR bowing to a very tall Emperor of Japan and apologizing for ear damage caused to Japanese pilots flying over Pearl Harbor when American ships below suddenly blew up.
