18. Don't laugh - Eritrea was one of the 'Coalition of the Willing' |
|
Of course with their decade long war with Ethiopia, the most those 2 countries could send us was a dozen 12-year-old war veterans
(this may seem humorous - but children have been fighting most of the wars in in those countries)

Which is okay, I guess, considering I've never really studied a map of that area. I knew all the major ones but the little countries that one rarely hears of I missed most of the time.

Got two of the "stans" messed up, picked the wrong one for Yemen (i knew it was on the south of the peninsula, but couldn't remember west or east), hit the wrong spot for Lebanon (didn't move the finger high enough and hit Jordan by mistake). So, i should have done a little better, but i did ok. The Professor
