I take back any comments i may have made regarding the incident in Afganistan - clearly the danger to aircraft is greater than previously forseen at these events:

The government runs public service ads about the Law of Gravity?!?!:eek:

With stupidity like that it is evident that government is completely in control of education there as well.:D Ahhh, the joys of socialism--dangerous ignorance of everything.

ag, what did you say and about what?:confused:

Takes real good, or bad, luck to hit any aircraft, intentionally or not, with a rifle.

And, Ag, you're not a bad person, just misinformed and programmed to think in ways that don't match the realities the rest of us face.

Possibly the worst foreign policy action by the US was/is Serbia: we've no strategic interest, so why are our people there?

It's in your backyard, so "you" should handle it.

As to Afganistan, to what do you refer?

I think he was talking about the incident where a US plane opened fire on a wedding celebration. The celebrants were firing into the air in the traditional manner, and the aircraft thought it was under attack.

You know, the Kosovars have not forgotten that we came to their aid when they were being attacked by that fascist in Belgdare. I'm no fan of Bill Clinton, but I think it was the right thing to do. He was bulldozing them into trenches - women, children, civilians. We can't get all the murdering a-holes in the world, but we can put a stop to some of their atrocities.

Just my 2 cents

"Let us dare to defend our laws"?

[Mark Tyson]

We dare defend our rights.

Just shows to go ya: Whether or not it's "custom", "Never underestimate the power of human stupidity."

Hmmm. I wonder if there would be any profit to opening a fireworks stand over there? A buddy of mine is getting really well, with a KFC francise at each of two U.S. bases. :D

There might be a market for ventral turrets with twin .50s. :D
