Oooops, sorry about that.

God dam Air Defenders!!
Thats a big fckk up, some poor joe and his chain of command is gonna take one for the team. thats one hell of an accidental discharge!

Probably one of the worst jobs in the military today would be the Commander of this Patriot unit.

Ouch.

Well, hopefully some enemy figs were prevented from launching their dastardly attack.

It'll be the Tech Sarge, that pushed the button, that get's the blaim. The Commander of the unit will get some Heavy Duty Missile Viagra to prevent future early discharges, and to keep it flying longer.......

I'd like to see the Action Report with those words in it.

How does a missle "accidently" get fired? That's what Im concerned about.

I will tell ya how; it happens because a few soldiers had nothing to do startd jacking around and did something beyond incredibly stupid. I have seen stuff like this before and the *** chewing that comes afterwards is horrible, as it should be.

How come they're not saying if it was Americans or Qatari forces manning the Patriot battery? Hmmmm.

What would they have done if a pilot had dropped a bomb on the same target?

And a pricey one. According to GlobalSecurity, each missile is worth a cool four mil.

Zoinks!
