Disambiguation revisited
Ok I'm going through the CNN news feed and the following headline hits me and I have to fall over laughing:
"A Vietnam War veteran killed in an Iraq roadside bombing this week has become the oldest American service member to be killed in both Iraq and Afghan combat, the Pentagon has confirmed."
Now how could he be killed in both Iraq and Afghan combat? If it was a Iraq roadside bombing wouldn't that kind of limit it to Iraq. It should have said; "in either Iraq or Afghan combat" I think.
