You should probably ask if I know what the hell I'm talking about first, lol

I'm not trying to be flashy or anything, I'm giving you my source.  My buddie's brother is a Major in the marine corps who works intelligence, also PR with the Iraqi locals when he was overseas.  He tells me the things people say are blown WAAAY out of porportion-one person says "ha, military intel sucks" and then the next person goes "umm, yeah, it does" and then on and on.  I'm inclined to believe him-I've never once in my life just repeated back what somebody said to me without thinkin a little first.

As for the red button, I don't see how it's gonna really affect the way they fly-sounds to me like the pilots would only be using it in situations when they wouldn't be able to fly anyway.
