Good site and true story. Too bad the A/C did it at 1000 feet.

100 feet above the ground is a lot more effective and if you are not expecting it, are not able to hear anything for hours afterwards.

Still very nice and hope the terrorists realize what they are up against someday.

Joe, that display made no difference in the outcome in Afghanistan, or 30 years ago in Vietnam, or in Korea; or in any other of the unnamed attempts to control other people in their countries when they don't want to be controlled.

When terrorists come to America, we can control or kill them most of the time; attempting that in Iraq barely scratches the surface unless you're willing to scorch the earth making it devoid of all life.

That would have blowback of incalculable proportions.
