The Press screw up another one?

Uh-oh... the bbs police police are here.  That big red cross on your holy white shield is impressive dowding.

Muckmaw...

Quit being a tard.  You started a thread titled The Press screw up another one?.  Don't come off as if you just wanted clarification.  You wanted a "let's bag on the press" kind of thread.  Cool... present the link you're talking about it so we don't have to dog them via heresay.

As far as the "Press screw up another one".  .50-cal vs 50-mm.  That's pretty damn brutal.  You should write the editor and let him know how wrong they were.  I'd suggest not mispelling a single word in that letter... cause they won't be able to stop laughing if you do.

Oh no, I'm a tard...and so begins another Flame War with Mini-D. You can do this one by yourself. I've had enough of your *****.

See the question mark after the title? See that? It  denotes a question.

So the question is, Did they screw up, or and do they know something I don't. Real simple.

If you don't have something to add, just shut up and move along. Not every thread needs your approval.

Miko misunderstood me too, but when I explained that I was not looking to bash the press, he very politely answered the question.

Knock yourself out, trying to determine my motives. I'm so seditious after all.

Not wanting to jump into the flame fest, but I do not know of any 50 cal machine guns on army Helicopters.  I read the same article this morning and caught the mistake.  I believe thay were speaking of the 30mm on the AH-64.  They should proof better.

My couple cents,

More news from the same story:

"4th Infantry Division troops late Sunday killed one Iraqi and captured three others in a shootout 9 miles south of Balad, U.S. officials said. In the car, troops found two M-16 rifles which belonged to two American soldiers who were abducted and killed in June, officials said."

If I was a member of squad there would have been 4 dead, not 1. :mad:

Is it possible, they could be talking about door mounted MA-2's on Blackhawks? Those are 50 Cal, right?

Or for they use a Gatling gun on the doors now?

OH-58D helicopter can carry a .50 cal in a weapons pod, probably what they're talking about.
