RE: "Military officials said thunderstorms around Tyndall Air Force Base in Panama City grounded the Raptor, a twin-engine fighter so powerful that it can fly more than 1,200 mph without afterburners." That powerful, and put out of action by a storm ? Gonna be great in a war situation. Ground forces call for air support and the AF send back a message "Sorry, can't save your asses today, its raining"

Memo to the various enemies of the US: If you want to invade the country, do it in bad weather.

My squad was conducting an exercise in which were to establish a landing zone for a Black Hawk, get lifted to another area for our drop, then spend the next several days hauling our equipment on foot, setting up and conducting operations at the whim of our analysts (who were all cocksuckers, btw). The morning of the operation came, we trekked out to setup the landing zone and then received orders to pack up and go back to bed. The pilot didn't want to fly in the combination of light rain and dark. Our company commander was so pissed that he called off the entire operation eventhough we could have been trucked out if necessary. If I could have bought that chopper pilot a beer, I would have.
