Conservatives are aghast, as they are opposed to all forms os strap-ons.
Thank you, thank you, be sure to catch my next show.
While I’m optimistic, it’s got a guarded nature to it. Why, I can see the headlines now:
“North Korea announces it has recovered eight lawn darts just inside the DMZ.” :smack:
Tripler
We need to drop Chuck Norris on North Korea.
Awwwwww, I wanted to be the one to make that point
That’s not flying, that’s just falling, with style.
Let’s hope they don’t drop them over the ocean with hopes of gliding 100 miles to shore. Or, if they do, their kit includes an inflatable raft… last I checked, your typical soldier jumped with a fairly hefty load of stuff…
Hopefully, each set of wings will come with little speakers to play “Ride of the Valkyries” as they come in for a landing.
No.
“Batman”.
Man, I just snorted so loud …
Why on earth do they announce their stealth weapons and planes and whatnot anyway?
Am I the only one who thinks there was a transcription error somewhere? There’s no possible way a 400 pound load is going to glide hundreds of miles on 6-foot wings. 6-meter wings, maybe, but six feet? No way.
And even if this is true, how is a hang glider big news? Is it just the notion of using them militarily?
Can you hook a jato to one of those? Because, man, that would be cool. Of course, I’d rather someone else tried it first…
“Pretty soon you’ll be flying. Like that chap in Metropolis.”
– Alfred in Batman:Year One.
Come to this of it, Bats was equipment-laden (if not with 200 pounds worth), and they looked like 6-foot batwings.
William Gibson made mention of this in the short story Burning Chrome:
Not to mention Snake Plissken about the same time, in Escape from New York (who also flew in a war agaunst Russia, on Russian soil).
Look at the picture; it has jet engines.
He won’t be able to do much damage to the enemy with only 15 stones as ordinance.
What?
Either way, it would take a hefty pair to strap a set of those on and jump out of a perfectly good aircraft.
'Cause there ain’t none.
While 3,000 balsa models are fired upon by the enemy defense forces, the Good Guys will ride bicycles in the back door, as it were, and capture the bad guys from behind.
Well, *HELLO * sailor!
And here I am thinking that if you take special forces sodliers and give them all strap-ons, you’ve got a helluva movie.
