OMG. . . holy crap!

That's not really a testament to your "training" skills is it?! 

No, by no means. Kinda like a coach at a shitty college. You get what you get and have to work with it.

I wouldn't say that. I have spent a good amount of time training soldiers from that part of the Globe. No real worries. Seriously.

No really worries, like the Afghans we trained in Operation Cyclone???

[Kopfjäger]

like the Afghans

I trained and fought with them. No real worries there either.

What got me was the blast wave traveled around the earth three times!

Not only did the shock wave TRAVEL around the globe three times, but it was still measurable at that "distance".

I trained and fought with them. No real worries there either.

Until you realize the hard way that a quite a few of those Afghan soldiers that you are "working with" are actually Taliban sympathizers...

Been there. No worries. They knew I would burn them down if they wanted to play that game.

[DRKWNG]

Yea, well a couple of folks that I know from USAREUR weren't quite so lucky here lately...

[Kopfjäger]

It happens. You can't trust anyone. If you are talking about the incident 3 weeks ago, I am well aware.

[DRKWNG]

Yea...  We'll see; I'm heading back down there in about two months.

Stay green. 

[DRKWNG]

Stay green. 

I'm actually blue, but normally work for either green or red gold and green.

"Stay Green" meaning, stay fresh, new, etc., nobody know's everything.

Isn't that the truth.  My saying/credo is stay thirsty.

How does detonating the bomb 2mi above the ground prevent fallout?

'fallout' is radioactive dust / dirt etc. produced when the nuclear processes occur near the ground (i.e. embedding
neutrons into the surrounding material).  in a (high altitude) air burst, the neutrons are largely absorbed by
the intervening atmosphere.
