The last thing the Bobs want is a first assignment airline gig with a type to teach em all on airline life. That's like putting the revolving door on quick spin mode.

I was in SFO, TV on local news, story on housing. TV is interviewing a local lady, 50s, question is on affordable housing. Oh yes, absolutely... liberal blah blah blah. Next question, a developer is trying to build a 50 unit affordable at that vacant lot. Thoughts? "Oh, that's not a good idea. They shouldn't do that".... not in my backyard type of blah blah blah. I actually LOLed.

I bet if you ask Obama, he would probably say he intended to accomplish the same goal by using money. How or where it comes from doesn't make this time different. It didn't work last time, I bet it won't work this time.

I recommended a slight change to the deal since some in Iran want to fuck around some more. Subtract our expenses so far from the $20B. Edit: I say the families of those killed by Iran get a nice fat check. Iran's gonna need a bigger pile of money.

Wasn't there some here that objected to Obama giving Iran money and how that didn't solve anything? Any of those care to opine on this? Same? Different? Nany Nany boo boo?

@Biff_T, you want to chime in on this one?

A buddy of mine was outside the wire around Balad when a C-RAM went off. He described the rain of metal from the self destruct rounds. He wasn't happy. Hurt someone, probably. Kill someone, maybe a chance, and while small, is still a chance. But we probably need to start putting in anti drone systems at all bases, even CONUS.

Saw this article with morning coffee, which tries to address drone defense vs ground troops, I think. Yahoo TechThe Iranian Drone Problem Forced a Radical Fix — The Mari...US marines just gave the M4 a driver-assist system for shooting drones. The modern infantry battlefield is quietly undergoing a transformation that feels as much like a shift in automotive control sysAnd then there's this company, which takes standard guns and turns em into automated, anti-drone point defense systems. Looks like they got rigs for Ma Deuce, 30mm Bushmaster, and the 7.62 minigun as well as the pic below, M240. Bullfrog M240An autonomous M240 weapon station to handle the full kill chain up to group 3 UASSeems like companies are seeing the current battlefield and are making stuff.

Back in the day on ol BODN, someone posted a pic like this with the caption, "Lead, Two, You're on Fire" and I keep wondering if Vance has a pair to say that to Donnie T. Maybe JD thinks that one day Trumpism will catch up with the feller and take him down and he can just step over the shit pile and assume the role. Place your bets. Really. You can make a buck on this stuff.

As for those asking about a strategy, set goals, and a plan, this has a feel like the AFG pullout. Just do it live. Well, sorta. It went from kill the boss, bomb a bunch, that'll do it, to, oh shit, they biting back, now what? Mean tweet em to death! Crazy bastards.

Why would we watch Iranian propaganda? One of you's teenagers are gonna see it on your phone and tictoc that shit. Next thing, all the Zs will be crying for poor ol Persia.

Chinese Seamen?

Of course an AI would say Cyber is primary, tip of the spear.

My only recommendation is maybe merge the Bar and General branches. They've become indistinguishable. Any many thanks for getting the layout back to something readable using the phone.

The backstory is probably something like, "The Pope doesn't like me, I don't know why, I'm a great guy. He's a loser, always blessing the wrong side. If I were Jesus, I'd have light coming out of my hands."
