One must find humor where ever possible.....as there is some to be found in most situations.
I would guess they showed up with all sorts of Boom Bang....found they had more than enough to go around....and simply applied it to whatever wasn't theirs. It beats carrying the stuff back home and makes for a much prettier fireworks show.
Granted....the 34's and Sky Van could have been very nice war trophies to go along with the Huey.
The important thing is they accomplished the mission....destroyed the Ground Attack aircraft that were the threat....and got everyone home alive and kicking.
Yes....it was meant to be sacrastic but not insulting.
