Freaking awesome. Two questions though. I thought the Minuteman IIIs were MIRVs? Also, why would you use a disguised Christian song for something like that?

Creed<----worst joke of a band ever to exist..
Alterbridge<----Creed without slack jawed sweetheartbag Eddie Vedder wannabe singer....but still a joke...
Why someone would pair this putrid song with this awesome video is beyond my comprehension..
Makes no sense other than to scream "I'm a Creed fan!" which is absolutely nothing to be proud of...

Have you ever seen a Minuteman Launch Live? Ever see one from the air?
Saw both! The one from the air was a double!

Theres a ton of excellent aviation related clips on there that had to be ruined with music.
I dont want to hear music, I want to hear the roar of the engine as it passes over

Might be for the fact that it talks about being taken higher, which a Minuteman rocket could do perhaps? Don't read into it so much.

Nope sorry I don't want my Atomic weapons to be mixed with that particular brand of music. :devil
