Flying over this small village just north of Baghdad like we've done many times before. Now what my crew and I have done on several occasions was fill empty bottles of water with hard candy, do a low mid-speed pass and drop the candy bottles in open areas. We'd make another pass and watch the kids go for it as they waved at us. But yesterday these punks shot at us on our approach. No damage to our bird but what the hell. That's that last time I'm nice to that village. Yeah we shouldn't be doing things like that because we're basically being predictable but those kids looked like they really liked the candy bombs. Oh well. Won't do that again.
