i know what you mean . I was reg. army and saw a fair amount of what the air force had when they were in support of the "grunts". The thing that got my attention was the devastation from just that one rocket.I had the opportunity while in Bragg to teach the use of the Dragon and Toe weapons systems and even though they were pretty darn awesome then,they come no where close to the javelin,both in distance and devastation.I used to love just sitting and watching the F-4's make their bomb and strafing runs!
If you want to read about the real use of the Javelin, pick up Roughneck Nine-One by Frank Antenori and you can read about a group of 26 Green Berets and the battle at Debecka, Irag where they held off a vastly greater force.
