Awesome, terrifying, America. This is the 2014 Joint Forcible Entry exercise, coordinated by the Air Force and paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne. It's a simulated mini-war that takes five months to prepare for. When we want to bring down the thunder, this is what the enemy sees. This is what it looks like when Mother Freedom starts ringing her bell.
C-17s…raw power.
Merica.
Minus all the cool stuff, like blowing shit up before infantry hits the ground.
Anyone happen to notice what none of the soldiers were carrying.
Star Spangled Awesome.
