Was trying to do an alley-oop, failed. Noted, will attempt again later after better planning.

<200 F22's...and the Russians got us beat at quantity.

Saw this drop on twitter. Don't think it fits on a different thread so I made this one. https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RRA388-1.html The Air War Against The Islamic State The Role of Airpower in Operation Inherent Resolve

Legit had a Lt that parked in "General Officer" spots because she thought it meant "any."

You're asking him to look past the numbers and get to a reason. Good luck. To him, minorities are just more violent, and less educated by nature. "Those people" are this way now, and always have been. I've had the same discussion with people where they're like, "Why don't they just move out of those neighborhoods?! If they didn't like it they would leave." Zero desire to dig into the issue, really look at the blatantly racist housing issues that kept minorities that could leave in bad neighborhoods (red lines, racist lending practices, racist development [ex. 80 through Omaha], etc.). Then, the war on drugs and mass incarceration at a disproportionate rate for minorities over whites, which crippled the families of what were generally conservative households.

If someone lies in their interview, and has locked down social media...not a lot you can do. Thankfully, the FBI can't just ask for access to see without a warrant of some kind. People lie man, I've seen it first hand...completely fine SF86 (right form?) and then they get a poly, "Oh, yea I forgot about x, y, z." Also, I'd venture some people don't think those extremist organizations are extreme. References to proud heritage, taking back the country, etc.

It's going to take longer than that, I expect there will be more OSI/CID/NCIS directed involvement to root out this sort of thing. It reminds me of stories my Dad would tell about local gang issues he had while he was running the comm workcenters while on the ship. Just more largely organized, which is worse. //break break// You guys thinking @slackline is a troll because he disagrees with you and won't back down is hilarious.

That link doesn't go to "that white people shit." But here's some "white people shit" for you - https://v.redd.it/vzpry1jq3qe61

Holy shit. Get to the ER, you've had a stroke.

I'm a prior-E, so I have some appreciation for the position. I also worked in mostly E environments my whole commissioned career (comm sq's, cyber ops sq's). While your opinion was not absent, it is extremely minuscule among the Enlisted Airmen that I interacted with. E-9 Cody on the other hand, I worked with one of his enlisted execs...oh the stories, also about his wife. Anyone who wasn't a Molotov Douche would be better than that guy, so EJ got some push from that. Do you mind elaborating on your interaction that caused your dislike? I got saluted by him as he visited our unit and I was leaving and he was professional and nice. Never thought I'd ever be in that position, so it was pretty cool to me.

Do believe illegal activities aren't allowed. I still got my clearance! 🤣

Hard disagree.

This was some of the most fascinating discussions on Jordan Peterson's videos on Youtube that I watched. It really highlighted how he wasn't some far-right nutjob, but you know...left gonna left. I still don't know why he gets so much hate outside the, "You can't make me say what I don't want to." I always wondered when I'd read about someone holding a lecture and people attending "in ye olden days," who the hell would go? After listening to his presentations, I get it. I didn't always agree, but it made me think hard about a lot of different things, and I appreciated it. Also good conversation with friends and family.

We have standards man.

This was a WILD ride - https://www.axios.com/trump-oval-office-meeting-sidney-powell-a8e1e466-2e42-42d0-9cf1-26eb267f8723.html I don't know how much of it is true. It was echoed in the other news outlets. Apparently there's a whole series, and podcasts. https://www.axios.com/off-the-rails-episodes-cf6da824-83ac-45a6-a33c-ed8b00094e39.html Want to be clear, I'm posting this for entertainment purposes only. 😆

No, but I got 1 friend who is. Why does it even matter. Can't call out bullshit where I see it?
-
To act like the riots over the exact same thing have happened over and over and over as well. Are we acting like "those people" just like to riot for no reason? I don't know. Dead dude because of a cops knee on his throat vs. QAnon, and the Pres "going down to the Capitol with them" or his lawyer wanting "trial by combat." So no, we don't agree.

So, I agree it is nutty and not a good look for anyone. However, the news the past decade has been about elites covering up child sex rings. Epstein, British House of Lords, Catholic church, etc. Sure, news loves pushing the narrative...but damn if it didn't at least hint to the conspiracy. Also, Epstein didn't kill himself.

Statistics was my favorite class in High School. Paid of so much in life, I think it should be required for all students.

Fun fact - There's great chef's everywhere. San Antonio had some AMAZING food. So does Houston. My 0 point PT waist is evidence of this fact.

We did just have an armed mob try and storm the capital to capture the Legislature. So yes, I'd say one more step towards a hell, however we can pull back. That's the great thing about our country.
-
Yea, that's why I made that comment about "merit based systems" in the other thread. People get ahead for all kinds of reasons, easy to deal with, extra smart, favors...not strictly merit based. Got a guy who's early to command I used to work with who was a complete douchebag who produced nothing but more meetings. Col Shitbird loved him though.

Yep, in 21 years I yelled twice. Once as a SSgt, once as a Maj. The Maj one was fun though.
-
Yep, got covid fat, have family history of issues, been denied life insurance. Each time someone comes to the house and they want medical history.

This so much. Closing the door and screaming loud enough that those outside can hear (justified, of course) is a wonderful corrective tool. Especially if that's not your normal mode, and no effective leader I've ever met was that way.
