A Free Ticket To Raghead Paradise
This is the cone of fire created by an AC-130 Spectre ship's laser guided, computer controlled cannon. It is visible because every fifth shell is a tracer round. An AC-130 gunship was requested by the U.S. military in Mogadishu, Somalia, along with Bradley armored personnel carriers, for use in the October 2, 1993, raid to capture lieutenants of Mohamed Farrah Aidid. The request was turned down by then Secretary of Defense Les Aspin and President Bill Clinton. The result was Blackhawk Down and the needless death of eighteen of America's finest.
AC130 ... beautiful ship ... but God I'd hate to be the guys cleaning the machine guns on that puppy ... of course, being the gunners on these things might make up for all that cleaning :)
