Hey, don't get me wrong. I don't blame him one bit. I would have plugged the ever living S out of him! It's the understatement that's so funny, not what he did or didn't do.

A 30,000 lb DU penetrator? Before we drop one, we had better make sure that there are no friendlies on the other side of the world from the target, just in case it goes all the way through and comes out on the other side.

I hate to be such a nitpicker, but this pretentious crap is phony journalism. Can't these ignoramuses look in the ---ing dictionary or thesaurus for a WORD?? A NOUN IS NOT A VERB. < /rant>

Didn't you ever read Moby Dick? Starbuck asks Captain Ahab why he is so obsessed with killing this particular whale, and Ahab replies, "He tasks me! He tasks me, and I shall have him!"

Yes, "task" is a noun, it is also a verb.

This is why it will have the 'smart hard target fuze' to count the number of voids it goes through before detonating.

The question is whether they use a thermobaric filling or not.

My teacher used to rant the same thing at me when I asked if I could get a drink.

The author probably saw "The Wrath of Khan".

Not so! You just take a noun and verb it.
