The Predators, Spectres and their spying electronic/photonic support are my favourites. Simply horrifying for conventional enemies. As they find out all too often. Even snipers with supersonic gear are excellent. A kilometre away for God's sake [peace be upon me and him].

I especially liked the Afghanistan effort where many people thought it would be a 19th century quagmire ending in the same way as last time. They failed to understand just what technology is available, not to mention sheer numbers if needed.

Fighting nice Gorby and the USSR was a doddle, when backed by the USA a little bit. Which of course was a BIG mistake by silly old fool Ronald Raygun [who inherited the mess from Jimmy Carter and Zbig] which led almost directly to the Twin Towers destruction. Did they really think Islamic Jihad was reserved for Mr Gorby, who was such a nice bloke [albeit a communist].
