Only those that consider it the slowest, fattest, most vulnerable target would.

Oh wait, if built in the USA it would be the slowest, fattest, most vulnerable target.

What is the difference between Aerospace Engineers and Civil Engineers?


Aerospace Engineers build weapons; Civil Engineers build targets.
