This one was too funny and well written not to pass on to the rest of the baseops.net communuty.
This could probably go in the "Leadership at the Deid" thread, or even the "I Hate Reflective Belts" thread, but since it is from Iraq and deals with combat showers, I figgered I'd piss the mods off and start a new thread for it.

I think there's credit due all around. The folks who gave the order and carried out the mission would not have been in a position to do so if there wasn't groundwork laid ahead of time. The desire to bring a ruthless killer to justice can and does transcend partisan politics.

Unless the wrong "tanker" happens to be a 777 with 300 pax on board at FL330. To be fair, only mudhen crews are susceptible to this kind of mistake as A-10 pilots tend to get nosebleeds above 180.
Tool alert! I'm sure you were "just joking" but I'm appalled at the tools who talk about opr fodder in a time like this. The ppl who deserve the recognition aren't out looking for it.
