I don't understand how all of these videos aren't of the found-footage variety where the end is cut off abruptly by vicious, immediate return fire. I know I sure as hell wouldn't stand around and shout while watching the secondaries; It's time to break down the launcher and bug the gently caress out the moment the rocket hits home.

The ones that get effectively counter-fired don't hit YouTube.

Did they ever actually get in trouble for that?

"No."

They did an investigation. The investigation said they did nothing wrong. However, the investigation said they would attend mandatory social media training to learn how the thing they did, which was not wrong, could offend old white people. Shockingly, there was no investigation into when white dudes took pictures with fists raised at football games.

This is covered at length in this episode of Task and Purpose: http://taskandpurpose.com/podcasts/fist-raising-west-point-cadets-nothing-wrong/

Reverand maynard posted:

its called the Texas confederate airforce?

It used to be. They changed the name to Commemorative Air Force 15 years ago. Some called it confederate, because it started as a loosely affiliated confederation of enthusiasts. But then a combination of distaste for the name for obvious reasons, and "good ole boys" taking the name far too seriously and making comments about Yankees and the old south led to the members voting to change the name.

e: edited to reflect that it's just CAF, not TCAF.

B1 show of force in Afghanistan is a treasured memory of mine

A B-1 buzzing directly over my position as the location marker at 100 feet AGL in full burn is by far the best flyby I've ever experienced, and even with ear plugs in and my hands on my ears, the physical shockwave of it was utterly insane. The guy next to me without ear pro collapsed. It was also very surreal tracking it on radar, then exiting the shelter and finding myself unable to see it, because the mirage effect on the desert floor was masking it visually when it was only a few km out.

Because it would be just as large, complex, and expensive as a normal air-to-air missile.

Not to mention going on a mission where you're devoting a pylon or pylons to shooting down a single incoming SAM means you should really dedicate some more time to mission planning and dedicated SEAD/DEAD instead. Some kind of highly effective pylon-mounted dazzler/jammer/grover-laser is a different story.

Until you're one of the retards that gets tasked to go recover it because it's got what looks like less than a foot of ground clearance. Probably handles terrain that isn't perfectly flat asphalt about as well as you'd expect, too.

In a DOD video it was basically touted as a low footprint way to at least have a set of eyes roving a perimeter and as a show that anyone wanting to attack or just steal stuff would face the possibility of being seen without having a platoon of troops on guard rotations beyond armed guards at key points like the gate.

They were definitely measuring expectations carefully.
