KeymasterWhat do you mean “sitting on one of the walls”??

ParticipantWell, the walls of Ancient Samarah are now about three feet tall in most places. In order to chase insurgents we often drove over and destroyed walls thsat had been standing for somewhere in the neighborhood of 4,000 years. I did not like doing it but I was not going to eat a bullet to save a world landmark.

Deliberate VS incidental destruction are two different things entirely and you know it.

That's more like a situation in sci-fi movies when aliens invade. They always destroy the major architectural monuments of civilizations first (White House, St. Peter's Basilica, maybe the Eiffel Tower, etc.). I guess they're not fans of architecture. 🙂
