Only this time the Associated Press showed how many draft-dodging, non-serving, ignorant-of-the-military editors populate their staff by writing:
"Stinger missiles lock onto their targets using a radar-guided system, making them more effective than heat-seeking missiles, which are easily foiled by decoy flares. "
Radar-guided? Out of a man-portable air defense? What are they smoking?
Ssssshhhh! Do not let out the secret .....the man firing the weapon also serves as a radar receiver! It is the latest tech available! (Sarcasm)
Seriously though it is statements like those that make one wonder if the mistake was made by the media, or if there is really a soldier who believes Stingers are radar guided missiles! If it is the media then it is somewhat OK ....however if it was a soldier who said that then all i can say is Oy Vey!
