A Great Story About Chaplains
Not over yet
Combat operations are officially over in Iraq. But don’t tell the U.S. Air Force, which is still flying tens of thousands of missions over Iraq.

So my favorite branch of service seems to have developed a Micro UAV for engaging moving targets. The main challenge in using UAVs to target bad guys is intelligence. As the article states, we might mistake an innocent for a Terrorist.
It seems this little killer might help. Instead of trying to ID a target from 20K feet, a Special Ops team will be able to have eyes on the target while employing this UAV. Hopefully this results in significant drops in hitting the wrong targets.
Great.
Apparently our Predator drones are being watched by the bad guys.

AF Chaplains Emphasize Warrior Care
AF Chaplains Emphasize Warrior Care.
“Air Force chaplains and chaplain assistants continue to support our Airmen in today’s fight as we walk where they walk and go where they go,” Chaplain Richardson said.
As an AF Chaplain I believe our role is pivotal to maintaining a moral force able to justly apply violence when necessary. A huge part of that role is going where the troops go, walking beside them.
