Did some Research

When the 173d jumped in to northern Iraq, they talked about "jumping the red light" and what a disaster it was because they had guys spread out all over Gods creation.

I took the time to check the article you referenced when you made this statement. I reccomend you read it because the "book" you referenced isn't close to what you have said. I know I thought this was a dead issue too until I looked at the site and saw that it in no way reflected

1. Jumping Red-Light was not cited as a cause for the dispersment of the Paratroopers. Your "book" clearly states "While the Jump was good, the aircraft "jumped long"

2. You stated it took the 173 ABN BDE "Two day" to arrive at 100%. Your book clearly states "The brigade achieved combat readiness far more quickly than if it had done and air landing. At 2 hours the brigade had occupied all assigned blocking positions on the airfield and by 15 hours after the jump the brigade had completely assembled.

In summation I conclude that you sir are full of Poo Poo! (Tag you're it)

You know what Rock...deleting threads is really touchy fucking subject around here.
Frankly, I'm surprised that they did that for your leg ass.
Don't start fucking crying to any admins this time when you start feeling like an E-type sillhouette on a pop-up range.

Steady boys...The thread hasn't been deleted, it's been moved to the "evidence bin".
