As much as I hate the amount of money we throw at "defense spending", I am and always have been fascinated by the machinery of the military.

Pilots are cool people and the folks that make their job possible, from the grunt doing the fueling to the guy turning wrenches deserve if nothing else, our appreciation.

FWIW, the Mormon Temples I have seen in Utah are certainly ornate enough as to make good "targets"!
