What we have here is
A really pressing need for a flame thrower.
I stand corrected. Thanks for the clarification.
Easier done than said!
Maybe they're some form of fungus based life.
Some tolnaftate should do the trick.
;-)
Waste that on GOPHERS, when there are so damned many prairie dogs begging for it?
It is a FAE.
Yes God love'm.
Geez. All we had were the LAAWs.
They're coming up with some pretty cool stuff these days.
Sounds like Bill Cosby's long ago bit on requiring coin tosses before a war. For the Revolutionary War, the British lost the coin toss. The colonists got to dress in buckskin and hide behind trees. The British had to wear red and march in stright lines.
The terrorist enemy wears no uniform and kills innocent women and children indiscrimminately, but we are over the top when we find the right weapon to blow their cowardly a**es away. The faux moralist positions these people dream up are absurdly amazing.
During the war, if you remember the incident where a tank on the main bridge in downtown Baghdad killed an al-Jazeera cameraman.
The tank shot two rounds in about 10 seconds. The first leveled a 3 story building next to the bridge. The second, seemingly aimed right at al-Jazeera's window, just knocked a little plaster off the wall of the Palestine hotel (the cameraman just got in the way unfortunately.)
I was amazed that a tank could fire two rounds with such differing effects. It was clearly a planned effect as part of the strategy in winning Baghdad with the least amount of damage or loss of life.
No more filming the battle or shooting at US troops from the cover of the rooftop of the Palestine hotel full of reporters.
Leveling a 3 story building required a special shell. So did knocking a little plaster off the wall of the hotel.
Different firepower for different needs is an excellent way to win a war.
Look at the pretty flower!
Was quite interesting to see a building evaporate.
I want one of those too.
Semper Fi, thanks for your service Marine!
Good evening and the very best to you and yours.

In an air gas mixture it may or may not help. I have no idea but FAE (Fuel Air Explosive) is kind of like setting off a Propane bomb. It is nothing like conventional highexplosive. I am sure someone much smarter than me would have thought about it, if it would work. But I have redesigned a fuze or system in my day.
Texas dove would not have a chance... limit bagged in one kill shot.
Thanks for the ping.
Wow!
An Al Jolsen song.
