Maybe I’m not following. Many guys punch direct to airlines from mil at first opportunity. If one is mil, they are sought after by the airlines. Everyone knows a guy who hasn’t been called, but for the most part, coming out of the mil is a big feather in the cap.

@slackline I believe you believe that wild bullshit. Critical thinking indeed. Pro tip, when you consistently consume negative, bullshit information, your brain will transition to thinking that way no matter what. Help yourself by putting down the AOC gummies and focus on all the good things in your life, this country, and the world. You’ll be much happier for it.

@Day Man Great clip. Textbook example of putting ego aside and updating viewpoints when new information is presented/previous information is invalidated. Also textbook example of being man enough to admit when you’re wrong and moving forward. Hope everyone took a good lesson learned out of that self-debrief! I’m sure you did…

Thanks a lot @Lord Ratner , now I have to buy another gun and a FRT. My wife might kill me after the last 12 months of gun-related purchases - worth the risk.

Yeah, I agree with him the radical left is a massive threat. They’ve proven it time and time again at all levels of society - why are you silent on it? By the way, two things can be true; you can ancknowledge all of this while also not liking Trump or his policies.

I wonder how much a type really helps you in landing an airline job. The airline is going to make you go through their entire training program regardless of having a type rating. So, it’s no cost savings to them. It does show you can make it through a training program, but that point is already proven by one’s military career (where training programs are a 1,000 times harder than anything the airlines do).

Well when the dems and their far left followers are constantly inundated with propaganda and rhetoric that dehumanizes (or outright calls for violence against) anyone seen as a political opponent, this is what we will continue to get. I wish those who are otherwise rational humans would see this and stop supporting the cult.

Yes, Trump mentioned the 2001 AUMF. And frankly, the 2001 AUMF does support the current war. In fact, Biden also invoked it to target Iranian groups. I’m not defending the 2001 AUMF, but it is very widely applicable. For those who want the War Powers Act to actually matter again for many potential conflicts, they’ll have to kill the 2001 AUMF.

What are we arguing about here? The fact a president cans/blocks people who don’t align with his plans/policies? Welcome to every administration ever.

Just like every other 21st century conflict, it’s essentially unlimited thanks to the purposely vague AUMF. The cries about “illegal war,” “Congress has to approve,” etc. are nothing more than hot air. AUMF needs to change for any of that line of thought to be valid.

How old are you?

3 parts to the D party: That part, this part: “East Village residents who voted for New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani by a 40-point margin are now suing to stop a building in their neighborhood from becoming a temporary homeless shelter.” I hope they lose their lawsuit. The last part: otherwise generally reasonable people who are still holding on because they want the 90s Dems, but haven’t admitted to themselves the current Dems are so far off the deep end, that the only rational response is jump ship and do something different.

What a dumbass - how could he possibly think he wouldn’t get caught.
