US aircraft hit by small arms fire. Whoa. And this was over mainland Luzon, not Basilan. While we may be sadly insensitive to news of Filipino soldiers dying in firefights with the NPA and the Abu Sayyaf, even just a small incident like this is big news for Americans, isn’t it? I wonder whether it was just a freak accident of some drunk firing his gun into the air, or if an armed insurgent actually knew the purpose of the plane passing over at the time.

Is the solid excrement about to hit the rotary ventilation?
