I enjoyed reading this informative article. I had no idea that a "dud" could actually later be used against our soldiers. I doubt if many average citizens are aware of the number of different weapons systems that the Air Force must deal with on a daily basis, and how important it is to prevent "glitches" in those weapons systems. It is astounding to me that our pilots can repeatedly hit a four-foot square target from miles away in the sky! Thank you for such an informative article about our Air Force.
