The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer.

I've seen a few clips like this, like the wire-guided A-T rocket that "bloops" out of the launcher, onto the ground. Or the mortar that detonates in the tube instead of firing. Notice how many of those happen to folks hollerin' "Allah Akbar!"? Seems to be a trend…..
