How do you deploy if you don’t do the carrier?

Y’all keep responding to this dude on all his burners and I’m still wondering why…

GC was an amazing boss and leader

Can confirm. As General Chang’s protege, his talents were best utilized on staff and as back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back HOLIDAY party planner of the year for his unit.

i never deployed

Published today in the Federal register, effective May 20, 2024... Definition of “Engaged in the Business” as a Dealer in Firearms Unless this gets thrown out in the courts, you kiss goodbye to private firearm sales for those of us who still live in free states. If you don't feel like trying to understand that legal mumbo-jumbo, William Kirks does an excellent initial summary... Thanks to the idiots behind the "Bipartisan Safer Communities Act" for actually believing disarming law-abiding citizens will reduce shootings!! 🤬🤬🤬

It's the Growler. Dudes go to B course with the Navy and learn to fly the EA-18 then report to the 390th Electronic Combat Squadron at Whidbey. You do a tour with them then transition to an AF airframe. From what I've heard it's because we don't have the EF-111 anymore and this is our last dedicated attack/electronic warfare platform and to bring some of the skills to other platforms. You also don't do any carrier stuff. I've heard from some Air Force guys saying it's a good gig and my Navy friends love the Growler.

Have you done any international assignments?

So, you've partied with some airline captains too, eh?

im not referencing him specifically. i'm saying generally. clearly there is big tech censorship. thats proven and not conspiracy. i'm saying if big tech will censor a person, why is it hard to believe massive investment banks wouldn't influence elections?

he has almost 3000 videos...doesn't really seem like censorship to me occam's razor says he said/did some stupid shit that violated the T&Cs. either that or the lizard people in Raven Rock called sundar pichai...tough call

if big tech censors individual facebook posts and youtube videos you don't think the most powerful and wealthy corporations in the world would put their finger on the scale of a presidential election for the most powerful office in human history? it's not a conspiracy theory. you're just incredibly naive and totally plugged into the system.

i would like to thank you for proving my point about post WWII foreign policy being a disaster. we constantly do what you just described above to "allies". i'm not sure why anyone is surprised we're doing it to ukraine. and yes, i do argue that we should stop feeding

I think the odds of a 64 year old being unnecessarily naked and not realizing his camera and mic are on is a pretty likely scenario.

I guess we can agree to disagree on this but one of the worse things is to suddenly find out a military prediction is wrong because by then it's usually too late. As an example, I admit Hamas hitting Israel like they did was something I would have never seen coming in a million years. I'm still dumfounded Israel could get caught that flat footed.

Right, you know, except for the whole invasion of Ukraine thing. I wonder if there are any other "historically Russian" parts of Europe... Definitely doesn't compare to Hitler targeting historically German parts of Europe for "reunification."

If you establish that you are going to feed someone, then stop feeding them without sufficient time or opportunity to feed themselves, then yes, you are starving them. You can argue whether you should have fed them in the first place, but once you establish a relationship, what you do in that relationship matters. We could have let them fend for themselves from the beginning, but we didn't. Maybe we should have, though I disagree. Doesn't matter, we did. And you now have to operate from that reality. For everyone calling for a negotiated settlement, that's not going to happen unless Russia has something to lose by refusing. And that's not going to happen without a re-armed Ukraine. I agree with all of the complaints about a feckless administration with no strategy and no goals. That's the hand we've been dealt. The North Vietnamese couldn't defeat us with unlimited weaponry. They didn't need to. This is unidimensional thinking.

Many would disagree. Judging by the damage inflicted with limited resources AND the semi-paper Tiger Russia appears to be, yes absolutely. In some ways they have defeated Russia, Ukraine remains as a country two years after being attacked by a Super-Power. But, as always in conflict, you have to define what defeat (victory), means. Our feckless politicians have let a very tired Ukrainian Army suffer in the field much like the Continental Army did at Valley Forge. If they had more resources earlier this would be a very different conflict. Russia has been rebuilding and without our help and equipment, the Spring offensive could be very bad for Ukraine.

FIFY

Sure they have. Artillery is how this war is being fought, and they are out of shells. We are the resupply. Obviously there's a debate over whether we should, but we made Ukraine our proxy in this war, and now we are withholding. I've said it many, many times before, I don't care what their odds are if they want to fight. And for now, they still do. So arm them up. I'm a big fan of the negotiated settlement, but neither Russia nor Ukraine seems interested at the moment. And Russia will not be interested until we resupply Ukraine, at which point they may find a newfound interest in peace. Actually that's another paradox in your reasoning. We should be negotiating a settlement, but not give any motivation to Russia to settle.

You guys are being bigots! We need more compassion for trans vampire freaks.

There’s a massive difference between Chamberlain telling Hitler that the UK is fine Germany taking additional territory in 1930s and the west condemning Russia for invading Ukraine but not wanting to give them an endless supply of resources. Appeasement is not the same as spending hundreds of billions of dollars we don’t have to support a country halfway around the world.

CH you're a reasonable poster on here. do you honestly think ukraine could defeat russia on the battlefield with unlimited weaponry?

im tired of the 1930 germany comparisons. putin has shown zero interest in conquering europe. all talk of russia marching to paris if we dont stop them at ukraine is total fear mongering.

Can someone please explain the EA-18 drops? Is that the Growler, or are they Navy dudes cross training, or is the USAF flying F-18’s now?
