Eight police officers have been arrested in Afghanistan in connection with the deaths of six children in an explosion in the Doshi district of northern Baghlan province on Friday.
The interior ministry said the officers were suspected of firing rockets into a pond to catch fish, hitting a crowd of children nearby.
However, other reports said the children were killed by a mine.

Like fish in a barrel I am guessing.
The sad thing being that the ANP are leagues smarter than the ANA.
I remember hearing a story from a guy that deployed to Afghanistan, and during a firefight alongside the ANA one of the ANA dudes just started smoking a joint.

I've read and heard a lot of bad things about the ANA.

Not only smoking it but growing it on the base.
Well, nothing to be surprised about, Afghanistan is, after all, the biggest weed producer in that region.
But jesus christ, firing rockets into a pond? How retarded do you have to be?

This, I'm pretty sure the invading troops in Iraq weren't sober all the time as well..
Also.. look at the Russians during the Chechnya campaigns.. vodka galore.
Quick google came up with this:

Since 1999, over 17,000 people have been discharged from the U.S. military because of drug use.
The Navy has discharged more individuals because of drug use during that time (3,400) than any of the other branches of the armed services.
Since 1999, failed drug tests have increased in the U.S. Air Force by 82%, and in the U.S. Army by 37%

Not sure if good source but yeah..

RPG fishing has been happening for quite a while now.. the trick is to be on a big rock or hill next to the pond and try to fire downwards into it.
I bet these guys made the rpg skip across the water and it must have hit a bank with some kids watching these policemen have fun.
