Nothing like having 15 years experience with a wide variety of digital input and output devices to make you a good shot.

I especially like the way the foreground HMMWV is dedicated to the First Lady In Waiting! How thoughtful of the guys.

Make me the third to request one from Santa for Christmas.
I’ve been a good boy (sort of) during 2007!
Please Santa, Please!

Sorry TaMoDee, but Santa is all about the present and it's what you did in 2008, not 2007, that counts.

You’ll like this story.

The fourth paragraph is golden. Love the video game tie-in:makes a lot of sense.

Amazingly enough, the B-29 in 1944 had remotely operated machine gun turrets. B-17 and B-24 crews had exposed gunners or had their positions easily identified and were targeted by enemy fighters.

Similarly the exposed gunner atop the HumVee is targeted by the jihadis first.
