How many dudes do each of the stick figures represent? Or is it 1:1 for the pictures?

That is friggin' motivating. Hacker, that pic of your jet is pretty damn sweet too! That thing packs a lot of heat.... (Still, no gunship though... :D )

under the pics of the guys, are those tanks and trucks, meaning 10 tanks and like 20 trucks?

Niiiiiice.

People 1:10, all others 1:1.

Out of curiosity, why is it your favorite? Other than the fact that you can kill even more of Zarqawi's buddies, of course.

That's it, really -- just a lot of firepower.

I remember one particular occasion when I checked in on a FAC frequency. As I switched channels, I could hear another formation checking in (and I assume it was a Viper or Hornet).

"...on station with two JDAMs, two CBU-103, 1,000 rounds of 20 mike-mike, and 20 minutes of playtime."

I had to laugh when I checked in for my two ship with, "Warhawk, Gundog 55's on station with *eighteen* GBU-12s, 1,000 rounds of 20 mike-mike, and 45 minutes of playtime."

It was such a contrast...although I don't think the FAC particularly cared who was delivering the iron, so long as it was there and ready to rain down on bad guys.
