They just copy our best chopper after the Tomahawk. __________________ My collection: http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/bro...r&imageuser=444

Starship Troopers is my all time favorite book. On the other hand, the movie was the worst adaptation ever made. __________________ My JoeDios photos \| Flickr
