The initial observation in this thread may have had some merit, but some of the subsequent contributions have been dire. I would guess that this forum for military aircrew has been hijacked by a bunch of arm-chair generals who delight in bashing our allies simply because the opportunity presents itself.
The incident where the marines yell when their missile hits a building was unfortunate. Unfortunate because a camera was there to capture the moment. Anybody who had been under gunfire for a while, who scored a hit and settled the skirmish would have celebrated a job well done. As the the admiral addressing his men, the remark about hammer time was taken out of context completely.
Have some respect for the US miltary and its leadership. Its not perfect, and sometimes the choice of words plays badly over here, but we are at war, in a combined and joint operation. Carping serves only to support the other side.
