The one millionth sortie in support of the global war on terrorism? I'd like to hear how that breaks down in terms of where those flights took place and how frequently. Seems like a lot of sorties over the course of only 7 years. They must be including every registered domestic and international military flight with little to distinguish its mission as counter-terrorist in nature.

Brooklyn, NY | They delayed it until the 2 millionth sortie occurs - that'll be tomorrow. 
Just kidding - I've got no idea.
