Something Good

From the Air Force Link via Defend America:
More than 600 rocket-propelled grenade launchers collected by coalition forces throughout southern Iraq, were recently destroyed by Airmen of the 407th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron here.

Normally destroyed using explosives, this amount of weapons required too much.
...
After some experiments with a welding torch, structural craftsmen determined the optimum point for demilitarizing the launchers for the EOD flight.

The craftsmen made a work table to hold the launchers while they were torched.

After the weapons were rendered useless, they were buried.

I just thought it might be a nice to talk about something good happening in Iraq. Well done, fellas!
