Tell you what there is one Tower guy at Kandahar that is gonna need a replacement if he keeps on f*&^ing with the guys that carry stuff that goes boom. Seriously, what is it with civilians in a combat zone. If I say I am a medevac or I am enroute to a TIC I dont give a damn about anthing on a 10 mile final, and I am sure as hell not *asking* for permision to launch from the bleedin' ATC.
