Notice the missile detection systems --- the 50 caliber machine guns --- the crew chiefs out and looking.

No DIRCM, but every picture I have seen here and elsewhere shows armed Marines and aircraft with decoy flares loaded. Prudent, I would say, given the area.

ReplyDeletebut what pisses me off even more is that here we have our Marines delivering relief supplies and they cut off our supply lines.
amazing!
