With all respect, Brian, trust me, PETA would object to chickens being killed for the purpose of hurling them at windshields, especially by the military. The USAF has had enough guff from the Green side of the universe to want to avoid more. What I find interesting is that the FAA seems to have kept on using chickens while the USAF has gone over to non-organic substitutes. And the Snopes article I cited mentioned discussed this in some detail. You might want to reread it, especially the later portions. Marc msmall@aya.yale.edu Cha robh b?s fir gun ghr?s fir!
