Message: <blockquote data-quote="Krieg" data-source="post: 1754463" data-attributes="member: 5282">This is a bit off topic but cignus's link brought back a memory...We were on the Kuwait border conducting ELINT ops when they dropped the first daisy cutter.  At night if you looked up at the sky to the south it was covered with aircraft navigation lights blinking on and off, as soon as they were directly overhead (the border) the lights would wink off and to the north only stars were visible. At the northern horizon you would see continous flashes as aircraft after aircraft delivered their payload. When the daisy cutter was dropped, the entire horizon was lit by a massive flash of light. At that same moment over one of the radio nets we were monitoring a distinctly British voice cursed & then exclaimed..."The Yanks have done it! They've gone and bloody nuked 'em!!"...The voice was from a member of a British SAS team that was forward deployed behind the Iraqi front lines as a reconnaissance asset. The SAS team had no idea that the DCs were going to be dropped that night. I can remember finding the situation extremely humorous at the time... Sorry for the musings...we now return to our regular programming...</blockquote>
