James Miller; Darwin Award Winner

Let’s admit it, James Miller was a good man and he meant well, but he won the Darwin Award. What was he thinking approaching an Israeli tank after dark? What did he expect was going to happen? Did he think that the Israel soldiers were going to get out of their tank to take him prisoner? Or did Miller think that they were going to grant him a midnight interview?

Did he think they were simply going to open the door so he could step in and say, “Hi”? Did Miller think that holding a white flag would allow anyone to just walk within arms distance of an Israel tank on night patrol? That’s not how the Israelis operate and Miller-of all people-should have known as much.

Did he really think he was safer outside the house then he was in it? If so why not sneak out the back away from the tank rather than walking towards it. When the Israeli opened fire I said to myself, well of course, what else would you expect to happen.

I feel sorry for Miller’s friends and family, I’m sure he was a great guy. But the man was a fool plan and simple. Stupidity has always carried the death penalty.
