      • R. Lee Ermey: The TOW B-2 takes twenty one seconds to reach its maximum target range. Which, coincidentally, is about the same amount of time that it takes for the enemy to bend over and kiss their a** goodbye. Edit
      • R. Lee Ermey: The glider pilots had to be careful to keep their aircraft out of the prop wash created by the big transport planes. Otherwise, the turbulence could get so bad, you'd end up eating your lunch twice. Edit
      • R. Lee Ermey: This is one way that three thousand soldiers of the Pigeon Service carried their birds in World War 2. It's a mesh carry bag that was made by the Maiden Form Bra Company. Helps keep your birds from going tits up, I guess. Edit
