  16. I’ve listened to a few guys who ran the weapons in this aircraft most become disabled do to all the toxic waste and other stuff these weapons produce in a closed environment plus maybe emf as well as fuel and other stuff I’m not trying to be conspiratorial and I’m a veteran too airborne infantry

  21. In the 80’s the AC-130 were 7.62 mm Mini guns, 40 MM guns and 105 mm. They were brutal power. I saw them light up a mountain at night. Priceless!
