F-16 30, Islamofacists 0
I have a cousin-in-law that is in a defense related field that sometimes can send me some de-classified field footage from the battlefield perspective.
Go right here and you can observe just how flexible our field operations can be.
What you will see is the F-16 pilots eye view of a tasked mission. The mission was to deliver a laser guided munition on a building suspected of being an insurgent Islamofacist sally point. After the missile is fired, the pilot notices that aproximately 30 of the goblins are exiting the building, heading to a nearby gun battle of Goblins and Marines; the pilot notifies his Forward Air Controller and asks if the mission task should be changed to the new threat, the Air Controller agrees and the targeting of the missile is changed to the group of combatants. Keep in mind that the pilot is flying the plane, talking with a controller, and managing the flight of his armament all at the same time.
Results? Scratch 30 threats to our ground troops, HOO--AH!
Love it. Watch for the trackback.
