Damn I'm glad the AC-130's only had 'chine guns. Think of the damage any other weapons system might of caused.

US intell has been aware of the situation there for a minimum of two years. Nice to see we finally hit that rats nest. Hope the last thing they saw was muzzle flash and the falling links started a few fires.
Nothing but death "falls" from an AC-130. No links, no cases fall from the bird. I spent about eight hours in one once.
(You are thinking of an attack helo.)

Looks like we're not the only ones praising LTG Boykin's gunship attack on the jihadists.
Excerpt from Peters column: But I can guarantee two things to Post readers: First, Somalia and the world are better off with the Islamists on the run and living in terror themselves, and, second, our special operations forces - from all of the services - are greater heroes than the history books or Hollywood films will ever be able to capture.
