Interesting. I'm afraid I didn't do so well, though. I'm sure JD will be pleased to hear that.

One that I got wrong sticks in my mind. I was assuming that the majority of the sub-humans' arms came from Russia, but it appears they were obtained from American equipment (unintentionally) left behind in the Middle East.

.........but it appears they were obtained from American equipment (unintentionally) left behind in the Middle East.

I think it is more the case that the Yanks armed the Iraqi army (much of which didn't actually exist, but was a fiddle to get paid for non-existent troops); those who were there didn't offer much resistance, and the discarded or looted weapons were happily seized.
