The poor dears (lefty editors) never went through basic and boot training like a lot of us. Some of us even learned at our Daddy’s knee. I had my 22 short at age 5, my sister did too, so did all the rest. We learned to shoot off the end of our boat. Dad would throw empty beer and soda cans over the end of the turntable, and we’d try and sink the buggers.

Residents displayed what they said was damage from U.S. airstrikes.

Correction appended Jan. 17, 2006:

A caption Saturday on NYTimes.com with a photograph of damage from a U.S. airstrike in Pakistan misidentified an item in the photograph. Agence France-Presse, the agency that provided the photograph, later changed the caption to report that the item appears to be an unexploded artillery shell, not a piece of a missile from Friday's attack.
