Sub launched F-15 a fake? Ghastly!

Me, credulous? Outrageous. That's gotta be the first internet fake I've fallen
for. Usually I'm the one warning others. But the video was, as
someone pointed out, well done. And the US Mil-
Ind Complex does tend to produce some odd and wonderous results so I suspected
maybe this was in fact real.

Taken for a patsy. I blame being up all night
painting and working on stuff for Campcon - it
weakened my automatic skepticism system and this slipped through.

The bad part is I'll have to listen to Jon D rib me about this tomorrow in the
flesh... Argh. And he's on my side so I can't shoot him. Oh wait, we're ESU!
Of course I can!

Worse, the Trident launch footage obviously used in the fake is on the same
site. ;->=

Well, that's advantage #1, maybe there's another? <grin>
