The soldiers are deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. If it is such a lightweight weapon why does it have to be towed?

University of Tulsa wide receiver Ashlan Davis, right, is tackled by Navy safety Jeremy McGown in the first half of their game at Tulsa, Okla., Saturday. The Midshipmen beat the Golden Hurricane, 29-0. Navy is a real powerhouse as they beat Northeastern (my alma mater) and now Tulsa.

If having a propeller torn from a plane is not considered major damage, then perhaps that caption writer should go work at CBS. |
