Wasn't there something posted here the other day, pro-Taliban propaganda, that stated that some Talibum was talking on his radio, while 100 yards away, the 52's were laying down a stick?
What a crock of crap. THis is more accurate, I believe.

I was in an NVA base camp that had had a near miss by a B52 strike... and a good thing too. It was easier to collect weapons & bodies without having a bunch of craters messing things up. 100 yards? That was NO B52 strike. He wouldn't be alive just from the concussion. ;0)
