Some U.S. Marines, pinned down by an insurgent
sniper on top of the building
decided that they'd had enough of an Iraqi sniper.
They marked his location
with a smoke grenade and called for close air
support. The aircraft was an
F-16 from the 192nd Fighter Wing of the Virginia
Air National guard.


F-16.....$21 Million
Smoke grenade......$1.16

Camcorder from Best Buy......$249.99
The audio track on this clip......Priceless

No way they bill us for anything less than $20 for that smoke grenade.

It reminds me of "Black Hawk Down" where the air cover smokes the guys on top of the building. Best scene in the movie IMO.
