A US Air Force B-52 bomber launched a record-setting series of strikes this week in northern Afghanistan -- dropping 24 precision-guided munitions on Taliban fighting positions during 96 hours of air operations "to destroy insurgent revenue sources, training facilities, and support networks," according to US Forces Afghanistan.
The 24 precision-guided munitions dropped by the B-52 Stratofortress are the most ever dropped by one of the Air Force's oldest active aircraft, the service said in a press release.



Weighing 185,000 pounds, the B-52 first entered service in the 1950s during the height of the Cold War -- originally designed to serve as long-range, high-altitude intercontinental nuclear bombers that could strike deep into the Soviet Union.
The newest B-52 entered service in 1962, and the 159-foot plane became a Cold War icon.
The planes have been modified heavily since the end of the Cold War and have been upgraded with precision-guided missiles, electronics and high-tech sensors. Each aircraft can carry up to 70,000 pounds of bombs, mines and missiles, according to the Air Force's official fact sheet.
The strikes come after the Taliban launched a series of attacks in the heart of the Afghan capital Kabul last week, killing over 100 people. In one of those incidents, an ambulance packed with explosives detonated in a crowded street outside a hospital. More than 200 people were left injured, including 30 police officers.
October 62, taking off every hour round the clock, awesomeness..

Henry Johnson enlisted in the army in 1917 and was assigned to 369th Infantry Regiment of New York National Guard the first all African-American unit, later nicknamed; The Harlem Hellfighters.​

In 1918, the Hellfighters were in France and only used for menial tasks from unloading ships to digging holes, all because they were black. French Officers saw something in the unit so the US Army loaned the Hellfighters to the French Army. About a week later; Sgt. Johnson and his friend Pvt. Roberts were pulling security one night in the trenches, when about a platoon of Germans (around 30 men) rushed the two Hellfighters. They both caught shrapnel from grenades, Johnson was shot in the chest with a shotgun, and Roberts was shot twice with a pistol. The Germans rushed into the trench and grabbed Roberts to take as prisoner. Sgt. Johnson got up, and chased after them, firing his rifle killing and wounding multiple Germans, he was also shot multiple times during the exchange of fire. When his rifle jammed, he rushed the germans and beat one to death with his rifle's butt stock, breaking it in the process. He then pulled out his French Bolo knife and began his assault on the German positions, killing 24 Germans with his knife and bare hands. He then found his friend Pvt. Roberts, and dragged him back to safety. The following morning friendly reinforcements showed up to around 30 dead Germans, and the two Hellfighters singing songs around a campfire. After this, Sgt. Johnson was given the nickname "Black Death".​

For his actions, Sgt. Johnson was awarded the Croix De Guerre (Palm and star) by France for heroism and valor. Sgt. Johnson later died of myocarditis in 1929. In 1996, he was posthumously awarded a Purple Heart. In 2002, he was posthumously awarded a Distinguished Service Cross, the US's second highest honor. In 2015, nearly 100 years later, Sgt. Johnson was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor.​
 
I fucking knew it, and here is proof. Where are the alphabet soup networks now?

Alien abductions and such notwithstanding, and while it was a joke in the past, they've actually broken some really big stories on politicians that turned out to be totally true. Ask John Edwards who torpedoed his presidential campaign. Same for Gary Hart. Also they broke Jesse Jackson's love child, caught O.J. wearing same shoes that left the bloody footprints at the murder scene (that he said he had never owned), and quite a few other big scoops.
