ISAF Drops Candy To Afghan Children, Kills 51 | Military Stories, MMA News, Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy

"Approximately 1.4 million M&Ms were to be delivered via Container Delivery System in a single package with a weight of 1500 lbs. Due to a malfunction in the static line, the parachute failed to deploy and the container crashed through the roof of a local school at nearly 100 miles per hour.

Upon impact, the force of the rapidly settling candies caused the sides to explode outward, causing what physics professor Dr. Rosella Schwartz described as, “essentially a 360 degree anti-personnel mine full of chocolate flechettes.”

By “flechettes”, Schwartz is referring to the M&Ms’ candy shells, which shattered and spalled upon entering the bodies of the victims and also caused more numerous and severe secondary injuries."

Sorry, but I really fail to find the humor in it.

I agree, there's no humor there. But to be fair, I don't see anywhere the OP claimed that there was...

Agreed. He never made any mentions of it being funny. Seems someone took that into their own hands.

Editor’s Note: The Rhino Den has entered into a partnership with the Duffel Blog to bring you all things important that are going on in our military from around the world.

I love the Duffel Blog. It’s the MilSpec version of The Onion.

The Duffel Blog serves the men and women of the US Military with a daily dose of military humor, funny military pictures, and faux news. We take an interesting and funny look at military life. We focus on veterans, military stories, defense, politics (sometimes) and life on base — with a comedic twist. We are in no way, shape, or form, a real news outlet. Just about everything on this website is satirical in nature.

hopefully it's funnier than the onion, because the onion sounds like a 15 year old's satire.

not really funny....because someone will probably take that seriously (as happens with onion stories on FB all the time), and it will cost even MORE public support for the military. no thanks.
