Smash,



 The flyers always get the glory for a mission, but my heroes over there were our maintenance folks. Working on a ramp where temps reached over 120'F and they did it with a smile. 

   

  -You got that right, when we were kicking back in the movie tent they were still workin!



Only a few small 20mm's in the outer panel of a wing after six engagements. Nothing the sheet metal guys could not fix on a smoke break. We just slowed way down.

   

  -Yeah, good thing it was the vipers that got you, I imagine 30mm hurt worse!    Should've just slowed down *before* they shot you and let them fly right by!    okay, so that was a bad quote from Top  Gun...hehe

   

  Smash

Problem is it is the slammer that gets 'em. The gun was just for effect.

They tried that too! No joy. Then they tried a heater..no luck either. Then the trusty gun.....



We have our own little ways of avoiding death. Plus I could have just opened the top hatch and thrown a box lunch or a travel voucher down the intake and finished it right there.

It doesn't surprise me that the trash haulers take  most of the anti-aircraft fire.  Anyone who's very bright picks a  fight he can win.  Apache's have lots of moving (vulverable) parts and  can be brought down with a 7.62 round if you're close enough, they also have  lots of firepower and fancy targeting systems to keep you from getting  close enough.  Trash haulers don't, plus they make a bigger  fireball.

  

 As for world supremecy of our forces, the lesson to  be learned from Vietnam was that high tech weaponry is good against other high  tech weaponry, and not so good against pajama-clad, bamboo bridge and  tunnel-building fanatics.  

 That was the lesson to be learned, but I'm not sure  anyone learned it. 

  

 Russia didn't fare well in Afghanistan against a  primitive opponent, and Isreal, which has an air force every bit as good  as ours, hasn't been very effective at suppressing the rock-throwing  Palestinians, even though their rules of engagement allow domestic assassination  and bombing of apartment complexes where suspected terrorists  reside.

Well said Ernie.



We have always fought the next fight. I think with all the techno crap we have, we could smoke some aliens or something. Why cant we defeat someone who puts a bomb in the carcas of a dead dog and then sets it off using a cell phone? I think it is because we dont (or cannot) think like them.



Thank the good Lord for the men and women with boots on the ground slugging it out everyday. It is a much different view from above.
