Enemy Buildings Attack U.S. Troops

Back to Main

July 17, 2008

The U.S. is finally fighting the real enemy in Afghanistan.

As the Air Force Print News service reports:

An F/A-18C dropped a GBU-12 onto an enemy building engaging coalition forces near Delaram.

Buildings shooting at coalition forces are easy to fight.

Obama will certainly have no problem obliterating all of them.

b,
Great catch, that was a funny post. We have the keystone cops in soldier’s uniforms it looks like.

Back in the solar scare of the 1970s, they used to say that if they could make sunbeams a weapon of war, we’d have solar energy tomorrow. A building that attacks troops, huh? Smells like an strange research project.

Finally the elevators have gotten backbone and are fighting back.

b real, I take offense to that, as their is something charming, if not admirable in Cervantes ‘Man of La Mancha battles with windmills, even as his neurosis was misguided and ego driven. There is nothing charming or admirable about these killers. They’d as soon bomb an orphanage as a bunker.
They have no qualms about killing anyone, not even children.
For instance, Lt.C. Ralph Peters on Omar Khadr Gitmo Tape: “We should have killed that punk on a battlefield where it was legal to do so!”

I just chuckled as I empathized with both of your sentiments.

the possibilities are endless
enemy air, enemy water, enemy clouds! fierce battles w/enemy rain, each drop warranting maximum retaliation!

US Air Force, Above All for some anyway.

@8 see @11
but isn’t that the message of the metaphor, that tilting at windmills can appear charming, yet is no less dangerous because the neurosis is misguided and ego driven?
And to follow one or those, so driven?

Dan’s link

The Air Force’s top leadership sought for three years to spend counterterrorism funds on “comfort capsules” to be installed on military planes that ferry senior officers and civilian leaders around the world, with at least four top generals involved in design details such as the color of the capsules’ carpet and leather chairs, according to internal e-mails and budget documents.

Arrogant nuts …
