^Yeah, you won`t be scared to die by a missile because you won`t even see it coming. But you will be shitting bricks if it narrowly misses you and you realize that there are more coming your way.

"we are so dependent on this shit...that if this network ever went down we be so fucked."

kind of like a gun jamming in a firefight, all technology is like that and I like to think everyone knows this >.>

and as far as friendly fire is concerned, these are all tools and each has an operator, even with the best tools people still manage to Foxtrot it up

"But why is there still so many friendly fires by the americans?"

Well, take a look at a quote from Murphy`s Law of Combat.

"The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire."

I hope that answers your question.

I think whats so fucked up about it, is that you may be lying in the middle of the desert in the middle of the night, no moon, and still, you may be in the sight of a helicopter`s IR Camera.
