HUMOR - Airspace Violation (Marines humor)
From a Marine Pilot
I just flew with a guy who overheard this conversation on the VHF Guard (emergency)frequency 121.5 MHz while flying from Europe to Dubai . It's too good not to pass along. The conversation went something like this...
Air Defense Radar: 'Unknown aircraft at (location unknown), you are in Iranian airspace. Identify yourself.'
Aircraft: 'This is a United States aircraft. I am in Iraqi airspace.'
Air Defense Radar: 'You are in Iranian airspace. If you do not depart our airspace we will launch interceptor aircraft!'
Aircraft: 'This is a United States FA-18 fighter. Send 'em up!'
Air Defense Radar: (no response ... total silence)
You gotta love the Marines!

Those fighter drivers tend to be a little cocky sometimes.

It's easier to fool people than it is to convince them they have been fooled.

I'll add one thing to YK's post, would be along these lines:
Best of America's men both physically and intelligence wise + world class training + world class equipment = world class confidence!!
I salute them!

There was a Marine who one time was told that his unit was surrounded, his reply was something like, "Good, now the b*****ds can't get away!" Having trained with Marines twice, I think they are pretty darn near as good as the U.S. Army, and a whole lot better than anyone else.

Gotta a couple of kids that did their time in the Corps. Strange, the older boy fell in love with the Army when a couple of Apaches took out some badguys that were above them an had his platoon pinned. Seems there wasn't too much left on top that "little" hill in Afghanistan after the Army got done. As much as the services might chide one another, do a bit of that myself from time to time, when the chips are down, it doesn't matter who pulls you hindquarters out of the fire.

Re: HUMOR - Airspace Violation (Marines humor)
Jeepnik, I have to agree with you. Anyone who volunteers and serves with honor in any of the U.S. military branches deserves our respect, and when someone pulls your fat out of the fire, it is good to know they salute the same flag.
