If you believe this new narrative that a spy balloon was “turned off and didn’t collect or transmit any intelligence” while flying over multiple military installations then I have a new 100% effective vaccine booster to offer you

"well, he's in the Army, so...."

Yeah copy not a nice option but neither is losing your entire military aged male demographic to a war of attrition. I feel like people are looking for a good option when all that exists are bad or less bad options.

Good thing Biden is 8 decades old. God will take him back soon. He's so fucking old. There are videos of him plagiarizing others' speeches. There are videos of him telling 100% lies during speeches. Theses are from the 1980s not from now. He's the zenith of political corruption and he's the leader of the US. Ask your liberal friends if they're better off today than 4 years ago. Shit ask anyone if they're better off now than 20 years ago. If you answer honestly, the answer (for most) will be no. Thats the litmus test. Where did the middle class go? How much is gas? My house should cost 200,000k but I can sell it for 1.2 million. I live in what used to be a working class neighborhood in Cypress CA (North OC), but now only rich people can afford these houses. My used VW surfwagon is worth more today then it was when I bought it 5 years ago. The dollar is getting weaker and weaker, kinda like Hunter Biden after a few days without crack. Groceries cost more, shit even the price of dieing is going up. We need real change in this country. Real change, the hard way.

They warned us the plane was stealthy. Turns out they were right.

Milley is an idiot Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Ever since the Afghanistan withdrawal, I have a hard time believing Milley.

Joe Milton and the Vols really underperformed in that game. They have a more talented team but fell flat on their face. Colorado vs Colorado State...man. CSU had so many opportunities to win that game. Colorado is soooo overrated, holy crap. They've got some good individual talent, but they don't have the depth at the DL or talent at the LB positions to beat really good teams without having to score 40 points. Additionally, they don't have the beef to hold up all year. Look at the difference between their players and Alabama. In a couple years of training and growth, look out. Also, the media is doing the classic thing where they are simping like crazy to the whole Sanders family to watch them fall apart and then ask if their whole schtick is a distraction. The perfect example was talking about Shedeur Sanders having all this poise and catching him on camera poking a CSU DL in the eyes while they're saying it. Or his insistence on being in the middle of everything and starting all kinds of shit with the other team. They're going to lose eventually and I think that loss will be pretty ugly. Everyone will dogpile on when it happens which really sucks.

"Go be free Fat Amy." "Legend has it, she's still out there soaring, somewhere."

milley will go down as one of the worst CSAF's we've had. no honor and no integrity. a political bitch who blows in the wind with prevailing political sentiment.

I’ll take a Royale with cheese, thank you very much.

I bet this stand down is just the Marines.

They'll find it in a remote desert parked next to Flight 19

Also buffs might have the toughest schedule. ranks opponents..tcu, Oregon, usc, Oregon state, Utah, ucla, wash st. Michigan is in pre season for another month.

Specific you say? I could probably negotiate away the following; My hometown: Wayne street east of Main st., and all of Patterson street. Current town: pretty much everything downtown, east of the river. My state: Ironton...all of it! United States...San Francisco.

Sim instructor at Randolph is one the Eagles that intercepted the jet, his story recalling seeing no one in the cockpit is wild.

History lesson. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Belgium_MiG-23_crash

"She looks like she wears underwear with dick holes in them" 😂🤣

Sorry but watching two overrated SEC teams play to 29-16 was not entertaining, especially when Florida fans now proclaim they are "the best team in the nation"...true except when you are getting pounded by #11 Utah I guess. Great game an incredible comeback, Shedeur Sanders is the real deal, he was throwing darts on ropes and carried CU to the overtime win. Most exciting game I've seen in any sport all year.

It'll show up on eBay by the end of the day...

Better than loosing everyone in those towns and then slowly losing those towns.

Sort of. After TPS buddy was sent to some safety job. Fed up, left AD to fly Guard -16's/airline. Airbus hired him away from airline to be test pilot in Toulouse.

Fortunately, and sometimes unfortunately, I have known (and interacted) with a lot of GOs (all services) in my 50+ years since 1969. Many a friend, some not so. Four became USAF Chief of Staff. With that stated, I not always agreed with several of my GO friends in their support of WH/Pentagon policy decisions. Personally, I have little respect for the latest generation of senior GOs. And as for Milley, well the above members I agree with.

anyone else catch Colorado state rams v. Colorado Buffaloes? best game i've seen in a while.

You needed a catastrophic withdrawal from a 20-year-war to distrust a 4-star?

Never trust an Air Force pilot who doesn't list their MWS anywhere easy to find in their bio. Apparently, he's just a "combat pilot". A Dr. should be smart enough to line up those air medal clusters a little better. Looks like a drunk kindergarten student set up that ribbon rack. Clown. It almost looks like he used mini clusters lol. Edit: Slick wing Major? Lol Looks like he stands around 5'3" as well. Some wanna be WIC patch. No MWS listed, just Dr. BS. Lol all I need to know. Next CSAF! DP #1 of my gay servicemen who dont really like being a pilot but love acting the part. He also strikes me as the kind of "pilot" that has an excuse for everything hes fucking up. The "I was just going to do that..." type of dude. Those guys are fun.

Guns for the rich and corrupt (law Biden citizens) but not for the law abiding citizens lol. Fucking idiots. How anyone can read those articles and not smell horse shit is beyond me. Edit: This is the most "Idiocracy" thing yet. Our country is doomed because of political party obedience. I hate saying this but "what if" Hunter was not the president's son, would he be serving time, yes. Oh and what if he was just a regular black man? He would be locked up and serving time already. If somebody explained this to the media outlets listed above, they'd implode like a titanic submersible.

There are few things douchier than calling yourself a doctor when you aren't in the medical field.

Calls himself a doctor with a bunch of worthless poli sci degrees under his belt, and flightsuit zipper damn near at top of nametag - tells me all I need to know about this guy…

Truly amazing how this doesn’t anger the vast majority of Americans… https://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2023/09/16/watch-youre-free-to-go-border-patrol-releases-hundreds-of-illegal-aliens-into-san-diego/

Boots on the ground = not required to start WW3. also, I'm a pilot and therefore unfamiliar with your odd numbers and symbols above.

That dude looks like he needs to cut back on the jelly donuts.

It will not diminish, it will change. Those are different things…words matter. “Better/cheaper/safer being fielded”…dude, you don’t know what you don’t know. Not a spear, but a reality check. Bottom line, cool shit is always developed and changes warfare, but nothing coming is decreasing pilot importance in the future, it will simply change how we do things. Historically you could compare this to WW2 having tons of aces and we’ve got zero actively flying today - that doesn’t mean fighters diminished in relevancy, it means things changed how we used them in concert with other tech. Buffs aren’t carpet bombing the fuck out of things like Nam, but they’re still relevant and important today…things change, but relevancy hasn’t decreased. As a reminder to everyone (including myself), this is about the end of this topic’s discussability on the internet. Don’t fuck it away.

I thought the point was that the upper, upper echelon got to go to sister service schools for that sweet "joint" experience. Now they want to push those guys back into Air Force schools. I have a feeling it's just going to result in more declinations until the bottom 50% are the ones at Maxwell.

Meh, Russian weapons shot down an airliner in 2014 with zero European response….I have little faith that Europeans have any stomach for war or escalation. Even the Brits. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Based on your connections, that’s ing terrifying.

I don't know if it applies to this situation... but during my AF career, I observed that dealing with our own internal organizations was incredibly painful and bureaucratic... and the results often didn't meet the expected outcome. In so many cases, it was better to go with an outside source.

the casualty rate is horrific. WW1 style. there is no way they can win. unless we want to escalate and commit NATO ground troops the US should be pushing for a negotiated settlement.

ukraine is losing. the western media won't tell you that. you can poo poo me all you want but it doesn't change the facts.
