| #7 Poor shots with the WP but you don't have to be exactly on target with a 2.75 WP to get the job done. Must have been taken at the end of June. I learned in VN that if you don't use your allotment of rockets by the end of the month, you get less next month. Just some odd attitude target practice I'd guess. |

| #6 It would be hilarious if they did slip in some product placement, especially for liberal run companies and liberals. "This is almost as good as Ben & Jerry's ice cream!" "And a special thank you to Apple computer, for sending us these special munitions, along with our iPods!" "Here's a special request going out to Jon Stewart at the Daily Show. This one's for you, Jon!" |

| #4 I suspect they're laughing because the 30 cannon already did the job. They're just tossing the rockets for practice and entertainment and psychological warfare. Nothing like a boom from HE or WP. I think the last rounds were WP any way. |

| #3 RJ Those rockets are probably 2.75 dumb projectiles. Notice the WP marking rounds. As for the thrown rod, that's where I got the idea of Road Service. Sort of a AAA with Apache as one of the As. |

| #2 I don't get it, if they were shooting AT it they're lousy shots, from the oil in front of the white truck, it's obvious the engine's thrown a rod and isn't going anywhere, why the laughter? |

| #1 Nice coca cola product placement at 1:00. If you feel the need to cackle when strafing the Taliban, I'm not one to judge. Just remember that the recording captures audio too. |
