#1 Boy there was a whole lot of cheer leading for the flying turkey in that article.

So did they chamber this "new" weapon for an existing 20 mike mike round or did they do the F-35 thing and chamber it for something that can't be made for five years and costs twice as much?

#5 Also autoplay is why I have fucking flash set to prompt on firefox with ad blocker. Keeps those idiot autoplay videos from happening and infected ad sites from showing.

#7 Even worse s when they have two or more auto play videos which run at the same time...
But you gotta point and laugh at their stupidity.
