This clip is an old favorite of mine. Steven Colbert attacks Eleanor Holmes Norton in his "Better Know A District" section. After learning that she was born in DC, Colbert argues that she can't be President because she was not born in the United States, as DC is not a state.

This event was the impetus behind the formation of the Special Operations Air Regiment (aka SOAR Nightstalkers), which now flies special operations soldiers into and out of combat. Memorably, in Black Hawk Down, a SOAR pilot hovered his Huey in a corridor between two houses with inches to spare on either side of the rotor to cut off a bunch of militants
