I am actually surprised it has not been a bigger problem in our community. 20 straight years of combat deployments for LDHD units takes a toll. Killing people is not a pick up game and watching your work on ever increasing resolution cameras makes it personal. I did 9 deployments through the years, was fortunate to have breaks along the way for school/staff....other were in a grind for year son end...90 on 90 off, 60 on 60 off...for MANY years. Same issue for the UAS folks who in many regards have it worse. Folks flying airplanes typically have the transit time home from a deployment to start the decompression process. UAS dudes can sit at the kitchen table eating breakfast with their kids, go to work, suddenly they get the call to kill a dude they have been watching for a month. They turn the dude into hamburger and spend the next four hours watching the body to see who comes to collect him...often with his family watching and grieving. They leave the GSU, drive home and are eating dinner 20 minutes later when their kid asks "how was your day Mom/Dad?

The RUMINT local is he strangled the child.

No dog in the fight (I was hired at DAL when I retired then got a much better offer from industry), but the thread has been interesting through the years. As a person who does a LOT of business travel I can tell you it is more busy right now than I have ever seen it. I flew from PCola to IAD last week and there were 11 flights leaving between 0610 and 0810 at an airport with 10 gates. Security (including Pre-check), out the door. I am assuming the Boeing issues have cut back the number of flights, but it looks like non-stop craziness to me,

@M2 68 days and counting brother! Wanna go to the game?

What do you do shortly after taking command of the 19th SOS... Also, how sad that the Sheriff's Office in the county next to "Hurlburt" for 71 years, and where a large number of county residents reside, does not know how to spell the name of the base.

Lunatic Democrat trying to ban guns.

While I understand and agree with the ruling, it does open the door to other not as clear encroachments. You are arrested for a crime, will they take your weapons in the name of "safety" even though you have not been convicted. This is indeed a huge ruling that will open new attacks on 2A. I agree they are very pro 2A, I am more concerned about rulings on silencers, braces and NFA.

I doubt it. My prediction is a 3v1 with the commentators throwing jabs at Trump while giving Biden slow softballs down the middle.

All you wack-a-doodle liberals who argue the military is not going woke please punch yourself in the junk. Pentagon slammed over woke plan to use US troops as 'guinea pigs' to eat lab-grown meat

Huge SCOTUS ruling on gun rights today and now a VERY slippery slope. Supreme Court upholds federal gun ban for those under domestic violence restraining orders

Agree with some of what you said (especially about Fauci), but I take great execption to the "shut up and color" for the military part. While you surrender many of your civil rights when you take the oath, becoming a guinea pig is not in the fine print. Under the blanket of military readiness this mandate was employed and the science was not settled (as a lot of voices tried to say but were silenced). When you peel back the facts it was just as flawed as other times when this happened: 1. Secret World War II Chemical Experiments Tested Troops By Race. 2. Veterans Used In Secret Experiments Sue Military For Answers 3. Forcing troops to sit in exposure zones during nuclear testing. 4. Edgewood Arsenal human experiments 5. LSD experiments by the United States Army Through the years under the banner of "military readiness" US troops have been purposely exposed to radiation, chemical weapons, biological weapons and have been given LSD, simply unsat in a free society.

Schumer has been eviscerated in the press and on social media "He makin an EColi Cheese Burger"...he caved and took the post down. Democrats, always pretending to be something they are not...normal humans.

Not sure the leap from a weapons of mass destruction to a civil airplane. Nukes and I presume chemical weapons...interesting interpretation of 2A.

So nuclear arms are approved as well?

The Ukrainians are taking out an S400 EVERYDAY...interesting to note the S400 we feared has some weaknesses afterall.

Biden keeps glitching...locking up like an ALR-69 at NTTR. This time Obama had to reset him and walk him off stage for warm milk.

Anyone have more details? The AvHerald is reporting that on May 25, 2024, a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-8 MAX (N8825Q) experienced Dutch Roll while en route from Phoenix to Oakland, carrying 175 passengers and 6 crew. The crew regained control and landed safely in Oakland. Post-flight inspections revealed substantial structural damage, including to the standby power control unit (PCU) and its mounts, leading the FAA to classify the incident as an accident and open an investigation.

No $hit!
