Picky Picky

Red rover, red rover, send
air strikes right over
--British Bulldog, game

But you're not talking to a soldier now,
you're talking to an expedition. I'm an expedition!
--Gunga Din (1939)

What we have here? A bunch of fig-eaters wearing towels
on their heads,trying to find reverse in a Soviet tank.
This is not a worthy adversary.
--The Big Lebowski (1998)

Continuing Air Force week comes this from an article on the ROVER program (Litening-AT targeting pods) in "Lifting the Fog of War" in Citizen Airman, April 2008:

As the Global War on Terror evolved into counter-insurgency operations, the importance of hyper-precise airstrikes and minimizing collateral damage demonstrated the need for a tool like ROVER to aid in the decisions to release weapons from aircraft, Colonel Arthur said.

This is a statement of the actuality of the GWOT [Phony War on Terror (PWOT ©)] which is never officially acknowledged: the PWOT has evolved into counter-insurgency.

The U.S. military is being used to subject and force the populations of Iraq and Afghanistan to bend to our will. If they do not do so, then send in the A-10's.

The wild blue yonder meets Gunga Din.
