This cracks me up. Got it from Yahoo News.
War games halted after US marine shoots dead emu in Australia
SYDNEY, May 14 (AFP) -
War games involving 27,000 American and Australian commandos ground to a halt last week when a US marine shot dead an emu, it was revealed Monday.
Organisers of Operation Tandem Thrust said the emu, one of Australia's national symbols, was blasted to death on May 8 during a live-fire training exercise near Rockhampton in Queensland, bringing the "war" to a temporary halt.
The commanding general of the marine brigade said US and Australian officers would try to find out how the emu was killed and if his death could have been avoided.
The war games were to continue later this week with an amphibious assault operation, a live-fire exercise involving air, sea and land weapon systems and the sinking of a former US Navy ship by air and sea forces from both nations.
