Could you please give a sentence or two on defensive capabilities? Why is low and slow not vulnerable to a raghead with a Stinger? I worry.

AC-130s have extensive self-defense capabilities, including several jamming pods and transmitters, and lots of chaff to defeat radar-homing missiles. They also have lots of flairs, as well as I/R jammers, to defeat I/R homers.

And I wouldn't worry too much about Stingers. Each Stinger shot is made possible by a battery that looks something like an instant coffee can. Problem is that a battery can only be used for one shot, then discarded. And they have a pretty short shelf life ... substantially less than the 10-15 years since we gave the last Stingers to the Mujahadeen. I mean, let a Duracell sit on your shelf for 10 years and then try to use it ...

By the time the carpet jockey locks a stinger on this beauty his rag will be a nice crimson color. What is the penalty for being killed by an infidel?? Eternity with 72 Janet Renos??

Pray for GW and the truth!
