    i have to admit it is kind of hilarious that someone thought the solution to riots was to use a low flying fighter jet to cause millions in property damage to metropolitan areas while simultaneously sending thousands into a terrified frenzy. Really bringing that war on terror expertise home there.

    lmfao no fucking way. Next you'll be telling me they had a battery of 155s on standby to "Firmly discipline" protesters that got too rowdy with their laserpointers, or an armor platoon kitted out with beehives to "restore order" when a cop car gets bonfired

      Hell if it was flying low enough a rifle could take it out. IIRC that happened to Soviet aircraft in Afghanistan

        You could even find training manuals depicting a platoon of Red Army soldiers in WW2 laying on their backs with Mosins pointed in the air as a last ditch means of taking out CAS aircraft.

    Can't wait for Biden to get on tv to justify nuking Seattle to prevent property damage during a particularly large protest
