I found this video, and I thought it was kinda cool. Hey, desparate times call for desparate measures. Be forewarned...actual battlefield video. Well, kinda. Just take a look. The link sucks, so you will have to click on the link, then where it says "If your download doesn't start, click here", right click on it and choose "Save Target As...". You won't be disappointed... :D

While interesting and certainly a look into the dark world of the battlefield, that wasn't a video game or hollywood film you were watching.

It's a little disgusting that real people being shot into bits is being described as awesome. :(

Merriam-Webster defines "awsome" as "expressive of awe, inspiring awe". Now, maybe zemoglis didn't mean it in this way, but I do find it awsome that our soldiers in the field are able to take targets out of commission with such extreme prejudice. I am awed by the capabilities of our soldiers, and I am really glad they are on our side.

Main Entry: awe·some
Pronunciation: 'o-s&m
Function: adjective
1 : expressive of awe <awesome tribute>
2 a : inspiring awe <an awesome task> b : TERRIFIC 2, 3; especially : EXTRAORDINARY
- awe·some·ly adverb
- awe·some·ness noun

Particularily in the sense of "Awesome Man!" I think the expressed feeling is not ambiguous. In current vernacular, 2b and c seem most likely.
