  1. Wery convenient for the adversary as well! by tychoS · · Score: 0, Redundant

    So the next time the US is invading a country, the country to be invaded can get an accurate assesment of what the US military literaly "has in store for it" by flying a reconnaissance airplane over each US military cargo ship and past each US cargo plane to collect a complete and accutary inventory list of the cargo onboard the ship or airplane!

    Very convenient ;-)
