Okay, that was pretty funny.
"That" being the story about the special forces who, while parachute training last week, managed to miss their target by three miles and gracefully floated down into a Colorado prison's cornfield.
The prison guards were doubtless dismayed to find heavily armed military forces dropping out of the sky shortly before 5 a.m. last Thursday, but fortunately someone noticed the military uniforms worn by the invaders so the guards held their fire. It's believed the mystery intruders were either Navy Seals or Green Berets, but the Defense Department is keeping mum about it.
Don't you know someone had egg on their face, and it will be a long time before they're able to live down leading their troops into an inadvertent invasion of the Fremont Correctional Facility?

The encouraging thing is that everyone used their noggins and acted as they should.
Pretty embarassing!
How funny. It's a good thing they are training. I bet that doesn't happen again after their chewing out. At least it wasn't in a serious situation, like in Iraq somewhere.
Very true. I still think whoever was responsible for the three-mile error has privately made the decision to not re-enlist.
He is never gonna hear the end of his part in the Invasion of the Fremont Correctional Facility.
It's a good thing it was so early in the morning and the convicts weren't around to welcome them. That would have been an entirely different story that would be tough to keep off the news.
I love it when you put a smile on my face! Thanks!
