Much as I despise his show, Maher has a point here. War from 15,000 feet is rather cowardly, if you think about it.

Have you ever been fired upon by anti aircraft missles? In modern air warfare, altitude is life. It's not cowardly, it's smart. It's the other bastard who needs to die for his country, not our guys. There's a time and place to get down in the dirt, but it's not until you wipe out the other guys AA guns and missles. Please don't show your ignorance anymore. I lost some good friends in the gulf because they were too low and were taken down by AA or shoulder launched missles.

UGH. Using your logic (that it is cowardly to drop bombs from 15,000 feet)then "The Greatest Generation" should have been called "The Greatest Cowardly Generation"...or if they had responded to Hitler's bombs with BB guns and sling shots they would have been The Greatest Generation NOT!" Pray tell how would you have responded to Hitler's bombs? By feeling his pain maybe????
