Monday Video: Learning to be Airborne (And Pretend You're Flying)

This week's video you don't want to end with a bang, since it might be you banging on the pavement from 1800ft.

First, I hate non-video videos - A bunch of stills with music is just dull.

Second, the airborne represents a legacy method of deploying troops that became obsolete in such large numbers once we had rapidly deployable armor and mechanized forces. Their rate of travel in modern operations made them relatively unsustainable in the advance to Baghdad, and moreover make them ill-suited in counter insurgency. Lastly, their rate of injury and disability post-service has unmeasured financial and medical costs. It is time to reduce the Airborne force to small, agile units assigned to non-airborne forces to seizures of airfields, ports and other key terrain, as well as battlefield surveillance.

Hey - feel free to start digging up and passing along your own hot-shit videos for us to share :)

Or, stick around and there are some cool things coming up, too.

I don't know about a legacy method, nothing will ever replace putting 18,000 plus guys with guns in the bad guy's backyard.
