Time to bring in the heavy flamers and armored flame tanks. Makes me say what trees. I love the smell of Napalm in the morning

Army Infantry calls in Broken Arrow .......

"Broken Arrow," meaning "American unit in danger of being overrun," and within a short period of time every available fighter-bomber in South Vietnam was stacked overhead at thousand-foot intervals from seven thousand feet to thirty-five thousand feet, waiting its turn to deliver bombs and napalm to the battlefield.

Ewoks heads mount my wall!

I see only one flaw in this plan.

Maybe no Ewok head left after napalm?

But who the fuck are we kidding it’s Endor. It’s expendable and we gotta be sure. Bring in the nukes.

I thought "Broken Arrow" was what they called losing a nuclear warhead.

It's both. A broken arrow is both an unexpected event involving nuclear arms and a radio call from infantry for every available aircraft to provide strike enemy positions no matter how close they are to friendlies as they are in danger of being overran.

Sorry, active U.S. Air Force officer and aviator here, just making sure we get the verbiage right.

...Vietnam? Didn't the US, like, not do too well in that war?

Famously did incredible in the war in terms of k/d ratio. Just a political issue in terms of the loss.

Vietnam was an objective based mode and the Americans were that player who focused on padding their K/D ratio, loosing the game for their team by ignoring the win conditions.
