Dirty Animal

"We had set fire to the wooded fields and little villages ... it was all most diverting ... The bombs hardly touched the earth before they burst out into white smoke and an enormous flame and the dry grass began to burn.  I thought of the animals: God how they ran ... After the bomb racks were emptied I began throwing bombs by hand.... It was most amusing:  A big Zariba surrounded by tall trees was not easy to hit.  I had to aim carefully at the straw roof and only succeeded at the third shot.  The wretches who were inside, seeing their roof burning, jumped out and ran off like mad."
 -Bruno Mussolini
