Good evening.
"The only Army division that is paratroop is the 82nd Airborne Div."

Paratroopers don't have to be with the 82nd. They could be Rangers or SF. Odds are that Bret was calling them that because the 101st used to be a paratroop division.

Of course it's been a while since anyone got to makes a combat blast and I imagine seeing Death From Above for real would probably scare the insurrectos spitless.

I think many of us use Airborne and Paratroop interchangeably. I thought they all had to be able to jump in. I have been schooled better today.
