CH, thanks for the link. The man is truly delusional. For example (from the link you provided): "Make no mistake, inflation is largely the fault of Putin." and, "They’re the facts. Democrats didn’t cause this problem. Vladimir Putin did." It's actually insulting that he says the thing he does. He seems to think we're a nation of idiots and we don't remember inflation was at record high levels before Putin did anything. Hopefully, come November Biden and the Democrats will get a dose of reality.

90% of the time when someone talks about the OODA loop I want to put my head through a wall. So of course I looked at the link. Like a masochist. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

If confirmed, then scratch one ruskie corvette. The Ukrainians' asymmetric prowess on display. That's no onesie twosie tank loss now, that's a big toy vladimir just got summarily das boot'd. 😄

Jesus man, what the hell kinda bars are you hanging out in? 😳

PT test + PT hours requirement have been waived due to COVID. Not sure if/when they're coming back but they don't have any of those requirements right now. Mask mandate was lifted just last week, but probably a good idea to bring some masks just in case.

it's important to remember that a lot of the century series fighters were designed for one thing and ended up doing another. we could easily find ourselves in the same situation if we're not much more deliberate and cautious. obviously, the conditions of needing to rapidly field aircraft, a lack of computing power and other problems of the era contributed, but it's still pretty damning. F-100: built as a replacement for the non-interceptor versions of the F-86, ended up doing CAS/BAI in RVN because it was too slow to fly in NVN, flew in the guard basically as a fast jet placeholder F-101: built as a both a tactical nuke delivery system and and interceptor, did both jobs but was most useful doing Tac Recce over NVN, flew in the guard as an interceptor for ADC but was basically a placeholder F-102: built as an interceptor, flew as an interceptor, did limited CAS/BAI F-104: build as an interceptor, impressive performance but lackluster in many other ways, became a lackluster, notionally multi-role aircraft like the F-100 F-105: built as a tactical nuke delivery, did the job, pressed into service dropping M-117s on innocent people, lot good people ended up dead or in hoa lo prision. F-106: built as an interceptor, flew as one, not utilized despite of it's obvious potential as an air superiority fighter, probably due to ADC owning them, lots of proprietary equipment like SAGE, and TAC being fulling in on the F-4 F-4: build to pick up the slack, essentially the genesis of multirole not telling anyone anything they don't already know, just reminding

Yes! And also to discover how much Merc/AMG is sandbagging.

It's the second headliner on fox right now just below western military base (just a few miles from Poland) being struck in Ukraine. I don't think the Democrats are ready to deal with another embassy attack though. Most dangerous job in the world must be the foreign service during a Democratic president.

Seriously... And do you remember the address?

Apple pen 😂🤣 sounds like it’s perfectly reasonable for your boss to ask for justification

I sometimes wonder if they actually believe what they’re saying.

The first one was in a bar at Osan, second was at the Fireside in FWB. Maybe we need a 'crazy shit I've heard in bars thread'.

Teachers aren't the main problem with our education system from what I've seen. Teaching AFJROTC at a high school now and a heck of lot of parents don't care one iota about their kid's education or whether Sally studies or Johnny turns in his homework. There is only so much a teacher can do to make a student take the class seriously, take notes, study, do the homework, etc. The parents need to make Johnny or Sally do that. Rant switch off...

Wheeew! Thank you for correcting that. I thought I had been living in sin this whole time.

The latest from the nitwit in chief: "And, by the way, we can’t be — this is the United States of America. We can’t be the country where for a mom to get her kid on the Internet to be able to do their homework has to pull into a McDonald’s parking lot. I mean, for real, that’s what was happening. This law is going to put an end to all of that. It’s going to put people in a much different position to be able to determine their own — their own judgments about when to sell their cattle, when they should — I just — just — we’re going to change things." In case you think it is fake you can find the exact transcript here on Whitehouse.gov.

It is man love THURSDAY. Keep your abomination days straight.

We still have China...
