Afghan Rebel: Huh?

*Splat*

Afghan Rebel: You heard that?
Afghan Rebel#2: What? I heard nothing.

*Splat*

Afghan Rebel: There it was again! Now, listen!
Afghan Rebel#2: Okay then, if that shuts you up.

*Splat*

Afghan Rebel: And there it was again! What the heck makes that noise?! Sounds like someone dropping eggs from a cliff or something. Wierd.
Afghan Rebel#2: Ah, you goatpoo-for-brains! That's the US Army!

Imagine if you will, a heat-seeker trailing your butt at 5000 feet. How about some cannon fire from a nice jet trailing you and your Batman outfit. Not me man.

To tell you the truth, some of the best military equipment is and was designed by the ordinary citizen. These guys have jet power, seems the special forces guys have just gliding capability. I suspect a bit more quieter then the jet packing boys.
