Goddamn hippies

Based on the color of those trails, it looks like they were spraying the mass sterilization compound that day. Fine choice.

And to me, it makes perfect sense why we would want to scrutinize the hell out of those individuals (all immigrants really) who wants to come here. If it doesn't benefit American citizens then why bring in people who will be a net drain on society? It's bad enough that our federal government fetuses to take border security/illegal immigration seriously, but intentionally welcoming people who do not share our values/have little offer is stupid. Europe is starting to learn this the hard way...

Like I said “come to Jesus scramble.” how anybody with stars on their shoulders could sit through a MSIC briefing from the DE lady and not come out of that thinking “good god we are way behind the curve” is beyond me. But hey let’s spend time/money developing a new PT uniform....

This is bullshit.

A bigger issue is the fact that we are wasting airframe life on the B-1(and B-52s/F-15Es, etc.) doing CAS in Afghanistan when the AF should have bought the Tucano/AT-6 a decade ago to use instead. Or if you just want a coordinate bomber with long on-station times, we could have hung JDAMs on a 737 (i.e. Navy P-8) a decade ago.

Here's the current official list of the worlds 25 worst shithole countries. Ref; United Nations Human Development Index (HDI) plus other factors. Note; 23 of the worlds worst countries are on the African Continent, the other two shittiest countries in the world are Haiti and Afghanistan. Also, according to UN Human Development Index Norway is the best/most livable country in the world. Note; There's not enough data for the UN to score the shittyness of Somali and North Korea but they would probably be in the top five shittiest countries on earth if the UN ever gets enough data for a UN HDI score. - Here's the UN list (Niger is the #1 worst country in the world). https://247wallst.com/special-report/2015/12/21/25-worst-countries-to-live-in-the-world/ 1.

B-1 Bomber Crews Defend Sniper Pod After Friendly Fire Incident (11 Jan 2018); https://www.military.com/daily-news/2018/01/11/b-1-bomber-crews-defend-sniper-pod-after-friendly-fire-incident.html

Read the report. Not saying the aircrew were faultless by any means, but based on the chain of events the same outcome could very easily have happened in daytime. Adherence to JPUB by all members of the CAS team is the best way to prevent this.

Is a credit rating considered personal property? If so, ordering military personnel to contract with a private company (and put their credit rating on the line for govt expenses) raises some issues. In addition, with your credit score often being lowered for too many accounts open, it could affect their personal credit even if no issues paying it off - any personal finance gurus know the point at which this would occur?

No, in those jets designed for visual lookout and maneuvering you can easily/quickly descend if you need a better view and see where your pod is looking to verify outside your nice bubble canopy possibly aided with a HMCS. They “could” have the same issue but Chances are they “would not”.

Trump couldn't have chosen a worse target for his racist comments than Nigeria. Houston Chronicle: "Data show Nigerians the most educated in the U.S. BACHELOR'S AND BEYOND In America, Nigerians' education pursuit is above rest Whether driven by immigration or family, data show more earn degrees" https://www.chron.com/news/article/Data-show-Nigerians-the-most-educated-in-the-U-S-1600808.php He's racist. Stop rationalizing. If you're OK with comments like this (it's not the first time he's made racist comments), you're racist too.
