Honestly these dudes seem to have a lot more fun at war than we do.

GTF outta the left lane Granpa WTF are you driving that you let a Ford and a Dodge pass you? Used to see a few Harleys in Japan. And classic US autos.

See this is how I can tell you're an idiot. You're incapable of divorcing one argument from another. You don't like anyone supporting something you don't support, therefore they must disagree with you on every topic. You're not going to find a lot of people here who are fond of congressman using their positions to enrich themselves. But by all means, continue to show what a bad faith debater you are by continually making this more personal than it needs to be.

BTW, new CJCS confirmed by 60 senators.

Checks. Many of them got shuffled through the ranks over the last decade, now that their sex won’t carry them as far some of them are getting upset. Same with African Americans. I would say this is the case with any current Trump policy. When you’ve gone so far off course as a nation (taxes, civilian workforce, DEI, transgenders, foreign aid, etc.), an abrupt bank back to centerline is going to seem extreme to those who benefit from said insane policies when all that’s happening is a course correction back to normalcy.

Facts. Been beating this drum for years so future generations can one day look back and know with certainty where the origin of these asinine decisions came from… …It all started with Kwast/Wills.

Nah, I saw how this forum reacted to bureaucrats releasing timing, targets, and assets within an unclassified signal chain. The basis of judgment has been primarily first which party does the accused wrong doer belong to.

Usually around o6, always seemed like the callsign starts getting downplayed, spoken less and less in public settings. Don't think I’ve seen anything about this CJCS since he was first mentioned that didn’t state his callsign at least once in every instance. I like it 🤘

None of those investments are due to the tariffs. Based on the articles you’ve linked, all three of those were generally planned expansion and upgrades to existing facilities based on strong economic growth through January. Not brining work/jobs/ect from overseas locations because of the current tariff discussion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

It is literally an Executive Branch agency, and he's the Executive.

Decent race today. Double points for Haas, now 5th in Constructors. See, Gunther? Do engineering, not drinking espresso and things get better. Yuki into the points in a Red Bull.

You asked "why". You don't have to agree with the answer. The Chevron Deference is gone.

both parties commit obvious insider trading...this is a issue we can all get behind.

I’ve heard it several times in my career…”that commander insignia is a pledge pin.” I think we all owe it to the nation to critically analyze and not take orders like a stormtrooper would. At the same time…bucking your CinC isn’t conducive to good order and discipline. Placating the indig clearly isn’t part of this admins agenda. Not sure why she thought it would end well.

It is about f'n time that service members be reminded of their duty to remain apolitical with respect to well and faithfully discharging the duties of their office.

The VR and pilot training next stuff wasn't originally a problem in and of itself. If you added VR sims to the legacy UPT syllabus us old hats are familiar with, you would end up with a better product. Full stop. I'm all for trying to modernize sims/chairflying and I'm all for auditing the syllabus to make sure we aren't wasting time on things that don't matter operationally, like fingertip takeoffs and landings or serially hooking kids on ELPs. The problem arose when the brass started using the VR and PTN/UPT 2.5 syllabus cuts to mask the fact that they can't generate aircraft. That's when all the newfangled VR and syllabi basically became a trojan horse to cut hours while keeping slides green.

I blame State way more than I blame the DoD. Fire them all first.
