That is the age range for those on the front line, especially those that are in 3ID.

Hubble and recon sat's are step-sister and half-brother.

The same company makes both, and turned a pretty profit from NASA and the NSA/CIA by cross-buying the machinery (polishing eqpt and vacuum chambers and metal plating machinery for both types of satellites) at the same time.

by themselves, neither government agency would pay for the infrastructure (imagine the Army buying a new blast furnace at Bethleham Steel just to make tank armor for Chrysler that Chrysler uses the rest of the year to make car bodies) but the combined contracts managed to (somehow!?!) pay for the new instruments for the company.

And they STILL screwed up the calibration on the HUbble mirror! (Makes you wonder if some of the spy satellites are screwed up also, but we don't know it/haven't been told about it.)

The average age of an infantry soldier is 19 years old. So that is why 3rd ID seems to have a lot of them. So does texas, kentucky, Colorado, Hawaii, NC and a few other first to fight type Divisions.

I see it when my eyes are closed. Is that a sign of addiction?

You and me both.

I remember in GW1 we had many shots of views from the air war of smart bombs, etc. We haven't seen squat from arial bombardment this time.

The DoD released some gun cam footage earlier today. Not much, maybe four or five strikes.

I can hear the artillery fire right outside my window at Ft Hood, it's something I've heard at every base I've lived on for the last 10 years and am completely immune to anymore. For the last 6 or so days, everytime I hear it I turn and look at the tv to see where we're bombing.
