Good post. I've always been interested in the history of WWII, I'm re-reading Ken Burns' "The War" these days. The best book I have read is David Webster's "Parachute Infantry", he was a good writer who was there at the Normandy and Market Garden airdrops and also did Germany occupation duty. They did him a real disservice in the "Band of Brothers" episode "The Last Patrol", they made him out to be a weasel when he was anything but.

Congratulations! Your video, Three Humvees Fall From the Sky In Failed Airdrop, has reached the #1 spot in the current Top 15 New Videos listing. This is a very difficult thing to accomplish but you managed to pull it off. For your contribution you have been awarded 2 Power Points.

This achievement has earned you your "Golden One" Level 34 Badge!

Someone needs to mass produce Young Ladies' Illustrated Primers and airdrop them over Eastern Europe, stat!

The moral of this story is obvious: if you go to war with russia, just airdrop a shitload of vodka in there and pop some corn.

Either that or 'dont drink and drive (gigantic anti-air tanks into buildings)', I'm not quite sure.
