   With all of this multilateral support, UNSC resolutions, etc, why are we still chasing these medieval cave-dwellers around Afghanistan?

   Because Bush Lied© when he promised us a quick, easy, painless romp over our jihadist enemies.

   I live in an area where “warthogs” fly training formations overhead, I thought they were so noisy the could never be practical, even after seeing silent footage of the beasts in action. After hearing the nose gun firing, I don’t know about the Talifuqs, but that sound scares the bejesus out of me.

   As far as those wooden shoes go, they’re pointy so they can slide past clinched sphincters with ease.

   I used to watch them practicing what was their primary role: tank killing. They’d kill the engines and glide just over the tree line until they got to the clearing where the target would presumably be, then they’d fire them back up and get the hell out.

   Yeah, they’re loud as hell, except for when they’re perfectly silent. I love that plane.

   The Dutch have a military? Who knew…?

   The “Warthog”is sensational. I once saw a demonstration where one strafed a soccer field. It looked like someone had tilled the entire field in one pass.

   I think those “deathly loads” they’re talking about are actually flares. Missiles would tend to accelerate ahead of the airplane, and bombs wouldn’t be so bright.
