Well at least that's 500 fewer illegal Haitian immigrants a day.

Spirit Airlines Aircraft Struck by Bullets As It Flew Over Haiti​

"Spirit Airlines flight NK951 from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) was struck by bullets as it flew over Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The Airbus A320neo managed to safely land at Cibao International Airport (STI) in Santiago (Dominican Republic), but bullets hit the walls, overhead bins, and even grazed one flight attendant...

The company plane @SpiritAirlines was indeed hit by bullets this morning in the sky over Port-au-Prince. The plane finally landed in Santiago, Dominican Republic. In a video made by members of the crew, you can clearly see the bullet holes. This incident could once again encourage airlines to avoid Haitian airspace as was the case last March.”

He did, but that seems to have solved the stray cat and dog problems they were having.

Yes, but they were mostly peaceful bullets, even if a bit fiery.

Isn't that what we're supposed to do when we're invaded?

I seem to remember in history class that we were invaded by Germans and Japanese at one time, and we bombed the hell out of them.

Gawd, I knew you'd take the bait. You are so predictable, bro.


Yes, during World War II, the United States was attacked by German saboteurs in Operation Pastorius:

• The plan
  In June 1942, eight German saboteurs were sent to the United States by U-boat to sabotage American war industries and demoralize civilians. The saboteurs were German-Americans who had lived in Germany when the war began.
• The landing
  The saboteurs landed in two groups on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States:
  • Long Island: On June 13, 1942, four men led by George John Dasch landed near Amagansett, Long Island, New York.
  • Florida: On June 17, 1942, four men led by Herbert Hans Haupt landed at Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.
• The sabotage
  The saboteurs were ordered to attack transport hubs, hydroelectric power plants, and industrial facilities. However, the mission was compromised when Dasch turned himself in to the FBI.
• The aftermath
  The FBI arrested and rounded up the remaining saboteurs. Six men were executed as spies, and Dasch and an accomplice were jailed for six years before being deported.
