Of course, which means I must continue to fly the missions.

To hear the U.S. tell it, most of those civilian casualties in Baghdad
were caused by Iraqi flak falling to the ground.

Easily addressed by self-destruction algorithms, proven technology
since before my time and running past the introduction of CBUs, inter
alia.

Dunno. I rather prefer the notion of F-15/16s sprinting to the site.
Heck, they didn't do too shabbily on 9/11, from a cold start.

News flash: the fighters didn't arrive in time! Balloons and
artillery have amazing loiter times where they are needed most.
Substantive responses appreciated.


Balloons are frigging useless, even by WW2 most bombers
and fighters could survive an inpact with a balloon cable
and the number of flak guns needed to cover likley targets
would required the reintroduction of the draft to no good
purpose.
