Default I am most amazed

At how the news media, both print and TV, will screw up things military. Hueys are blackhawks, the print media seems to refuse to use the standard three letter rank designations, Bradly fighting vehicles are tanks. Of course any vehicle with a tread is a tank. The news the other day was refering to "Morter Bombs" in Iraq. You would think with all of the military experts they dig up someone would tell them how stupid the sound or read. One other thing refering to a .45 cal pistol as a 45mm.

What a maroon.
