Friendly Fire

I read a book about friendly fire about 13 years ago. I'm not sure whether Friendly Fire is the title of that book .

What I remember most in the book is:

when the Germans fire, the British duck
when the British fire the Germans duck
when the Italians fire nobody ducks
when the Americans fire, everybody ducks!

If people use weapons to settle disputes , many will die including those who are on the same side - due to miscalculations of time or place.

About Trees

I stopped reading more than 25 years ago  out of laziness or maybe cluelessness.
Lately I started to do a little reading books that is left by my children . The husband and the sons read heavy books - daughters read light books. Mum don't read at all! What a shame!


However there are few old books ( I took from the store room ) that I tried to finish ( more that 6 month already ) and I found some quotable quotes that is worth  jotting down.


" But there were times when you needed trees, and the shame of it, Jaime thought, was that his children were growing up thinking of trees as firewood and his grandchildren would think of trees as history "
