US military once again demonstrates its awsome friendly fire skills when a crew member aboard a U.S. Navy ship accidentally fired a machine gun into the Polish port city of Gdynia on Wednesday while cleaning the weapon, Navy officials said Friday.
Polish military police boarded the ship to investigate and Navy officials said the crew of the USS Ramage fully cooperated. No U.S. sailors were taken into custody by Polish authorities, Navy officials said.
Reminds me of Iraq I, when more US troops died or were injured from self inflicted friendly fire than from enemy attacks.
Always read the instruction manual guys.

With all the weapons handled by so many throughout the world, its a wonder more of this doesnt happen... despite training and safety measures.
Sometimes, shit happens.
Fortunately, no one was hurt.

That situation would have been tense as fuck, since the Polish aren't exactly pleased with the US reversal on the missile shield.
The Polish live under the shadow of Russia every day, I imagine it can be quite upsetting if your supposed protectors start firing M240 rounds at your town square. |

 One of the reasons WW II came about was because the Germans wanted the Polish port of Danzig/Danzag.

STOCK UP NOW. You should have at least 6 months worth of basics for every member of your household. Stay away from crowds when trouble starts, do not forget water storage, tobaccos worth more than gold or silver, and be kind to hungry children. |

It was the German Port of Danzig, and it belonged to Germany. The people were German, the culture was German and it had no reason to be ruled by Poland. |

The Polish Corridor was a "Free Territory"???
What does that even mean?
Danzig was an open water port, Germany needed an open water port, and since the residents all spoke German, the results were self explanatory...
Germany also wanted it's cut-off parts in Prussia back in the Reich. |

you're wrong. it was a free territory mandated by the league of nations. Danzig wanted to reunite with germany. poland had no hope of taking it over so they built the port at gdynia which was on polish soil.  |

Ignoramus Cowardly Anonymous,
Now I finally got it, Poles started WWII because they wanted to pinch German culture in Danzig.
Just attempt to give you some facts about who controlled Danzig, that you may not be able to comprehend: 640 years – Poles, 158 -Teutonic Order, 175 – Prussia, 29 - free territory, 5 years - Nazi Occupation, as a part of the second attempt to destroy the world by German culture.
Inhabitants: Poles, Kashubians, Germans, Dutch, Scotsmen.
BTW this is confidential; some US cities will become Spanish anytime soon, because majority inhabitants are Latinos, and they speak what language? I will let it go, better don’t mess with MS 13. |

That's right, Europe will call during their darkest hour, and will by any means lure the Yankees into defending their nations that they so often fail to. Bitch. |

Maybe a crack al kayeeda commando unit got hold of the cleaning schedule, sneaked on board, and switched the safety off
