Or maybe Vance recognized that he was getting caught up in the same political rhetoric that so many others got caught up in? You know, the one where you compare everyone you don't like to Hitler, even though they haven't systematically eliminated millions based on their religion or ethnicity? Or maybe he made the comment in 2016, when nobody knew how Donald Trump was going to govern? And since then, Donald Trump made very clear his stance on a whole bevy of conservative issues that would appeal to someone like JD Vance. Now, if he had changed his mind in a matter of weeks because of a political appointment, I think you'd have a point. But JD Vance is far from the only person who thought Trump was going to be a catastrophe for the conservative movement, but was proven wrong (me).

i think Vance, like most rational people, witnessed the positive changes in federal policy under “orange nazi” as compared to years of leftist democrat representation. I’ve never heard anybody, except Trump himself, say what a “great man” or “great politician” our current POTUS is. There probably are some who have, but most conservatives recognize hyperbole if and when we hear it, and don’t tend to idolize people.

So, you're saying Vance went from thinking he's like Adolf Hitler to the greatest politician anyone's ever seen? You think it's because of a true change of heart vs political expediency that will benefit his own career? MMmmmkay. That's a serious change of heart... Now do Rubio. Oh, wait, Lindsey Graham. Should we keep going? Until he won, everyone spoke the truth, but then they hopped on his coattails. Or, maybe it was the Art of the Deal, and he sold them all on what a brilliant man he is. That's logical.

Just curious, did anyone happen to find the monkey sex chick? I bet you she's learned some new tricks now that she's well into her cougar years...

Helluva thread revival. I had a flight doc a few years ago basically say, “Umm no, we’re gonna say you drink less than your reply.”

Didn’t know about this little slice of Air Force lore. I have to assume @Biff_T was part of the email chain at some point though?

The open source reporting of potentail F-5 strikes in Kuwait are interesting. They've puled it off before but nothing solid being acknowledged by CENTCOM

Good luck getting the smell out

Naw, my comment is more regarding that doing airline like flying, getting airline like hours, accelerates the path to punch at first opportunity.

Its now called NACHO, Not A Chance Hormuz Opens, per some Bloomberg columnist.

If you don't have a poster, patch, plaque, or mural with the headline of "Ft Collins Brewery Tour" on it, get to creating one. Bonus if you have a caricature of Lt Smalley on there. Break ---- Oh, and as I read the old thread, I remembered my last 4 or so years in the AF when it came to the Med Gp physical beer question. I started answering with 7/week. Not one doc asked anything about it.

Burn it with fire. Sacrilege.

https://www.flyingsquadron.com/forums/topic/15529-stop-drinking/#findComment-211382 20 years ago, I was the Lt who tried to organize the Ft Collins Brewery Tour that started this email chain. The email itself made my life very dramatic for about 3 months but luckily, I never got in any trouble because of it (the DD mention at the bottom really saved me). They say this stuff never disappears from the Internet, but this is the only reference I can still find. Still my biggest claim to fame in the Air Force, good times (or bad for a lot of people, ha).

Well before you do, I think it's important that you know that there is now an FRT for the Auto Ordinance Thompson... And yes, they do sell 100 round drum magazines. Kahr Firearms Group1927A-1 Deluxe Carbine SBR 10.5" BarrelMy dealer says it comes in at just over $2000

A Cut Above!

@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…

Hey everyone! My name is Brian and I am an Air Force helicopter pilot. I know, we are a rare breed, but we do exist. I got tired of trying to log my flights and keep up with a paper logbook or excel sheet, and of all the logbook apps out there none of them met my needs for military flight logs or they charged too much money. So I created my own logbook app! I have it up for beta test on Apple's TestFlight right now and would like to offer it up for anyone to try. Once I get enough feedback I'll put it on the App Store too. It's free, and I plan to keep the core functions free forever. This is a passion project for me, so please share in the spoils of my work. All I ask in return is honest feedback and suggestions. https://flightopslog.com/ Happy flying! -Brian

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.

is that a buzzsaws shirt?

Too awesome man—thank you!

Grade A gun and Grade A+ stache Also, my last form 1 took 4.5 months.

Surely VID_20260416_194613~2.mp4 Once I get the form 1 approval I'll put a vertical foregrip and telescoping stock on it.

Nice man! Can you post a video of you firing it?

I'm happy to report that the MP5K with the forced reset trigger is every bit as fun as it sounds. With a suppressor, even supersonic rounds are hearing safe. I'm getting a new locking piece to slow it down a bit, since there were a few feed issues, but 31 rounds in less than 2 seconds sure does put a smile on your face. I also have to accept that 30 years of watching henchmen in movies missing the protagonist with a barrage of machine gun fire might have actually been remarkably accurate for Hollywood 🤣😂
