FACT or CRAP ?


FACT

These air-raid shelters, built during the Cold War, will now be converted to indoor parking lots! The Chinese have to make room for all those Japanese-made cars!

When the Canadian Army withdrew from Afghanistan in 2011, records showed that about half a million dollars worth of food and medical equipment was " lost " and not previously reported!

FACT or CRAP ?



CRAP

It's worse than that. It wasn't food and medical equipment that was reported lost, but three very expensive mortar shells called Excalibur, worth $175,00 each! At three feet tall and weighing 106 pounds each, these are not easily misplaced. You can't find these shells on the beach!
I confess to googling it after I posted my answer and it took everything I had not to post a spoiler. So brutal!

Italy is land locked, why would they have a navy?
