Left over from Clinton's Wag the Dog bombing campaign, then shot up by the 101st as they swung through the neighborhood a few years ago...

One thing is for sure - I have been stripped of many notions concerning topics that are casually bandied about on this board.
I was flying from (somewhere) in a CH-47 the other night. 150 knots about 50 feet off the ground at night. Sitting the the back just jawing with some 20 year old soldiers about the various females on post. We generally leave the doors and emergency exits wide open now to facilitate faster egress. Talk about spectacular. Then a rocket came flying right across the open rear cargo ramp and exploded about 20 feet aft. The small arms fire from the brush looks like flash bulbs as we roar by.
After some of that, get get to where we are going, are assigned a hootch, and watch movies on our laptops. The next morning email friends, and begin a mission brief to go out and kill the guys shooting at us (rockets fired at coalition aircraft merit a strong response).
It is surreal in some ways, in other ways it is like Groundhog Day the movie. The same thing over and over.
