Surge is more than a bunch of boots on the ground--it's also more (and better) aircraft, and more flyboys. By the way, read here about the Osprey: Use of Coanda technology to redirect exhaust. Powww!! Hey, JJ, where is my Louis Roed?

Coandaboom!

I redirected my exhaust a while back. Had to wash the whole goddam bathroom. Thanks a whole lot, Coanda.
JJ, JJ -- you gotta study the Coanda effect more thoroughly. I'm sure you did something against the teachings of the master.
The Osprey is a thing of beauty....it is not uber-safe but, you know, those Hueys and Chinooks they were still using to cart marines around in during the late 70s and early 80s went kaput with unhappy regularity. ...
At that time the Marines were trying to incorporate the Brit's Harrier jet into the role the Osprey now has, but it went down with even more unhappy regularity than the copters. I'm glad to see that, a quarter of a century later, they finally have a machine capable of their ambitions.
Don't piss in the Coanda wind, meteorological or Osprey.
Redirecting exhausts is tricky business. But yes, the Marines clearly need a dependable way to get from point A to point B fast (without pounding sand), and the flyboys can do that, provided they follow Coanda, and not JJ.
