I have no idea on retired Col Mcgregors pedigree, but he makes some interesting points. He thinks Russia’s military is stronger now, after more than a year of war in Ukraine than it’s been in over 30 years. Increased war production capability and renewed national resolve. Has our plan to weaken and undermine Russia backfired spectacularly? https://x.com/tuckercarlson/status/1693761723230990509?s=46

If it’s Vivek or Desantis, this will be my second time voting for what seems to be a good presidential candidate. Reagan was my first chance voting, and I was proud to vote. Since then, I’ve either pinched my nose and voted, or knowingly threw my vote away voting for someone not on the ballot. I still know my support of Fred Thompson was correct and grounded in 2008!

Not really, but over anything the left offers, I’d take Trump. I’d love an actual conservative.

If line flyers aren’t pressing to test at every opportunity they are getting what they deserve. If your leadership is like some of the “repect my authorati” types on here, I’d wear a dif colored one every day just to piss them off. As an experienced Capt excellent at the mission, we had a pretty good layer of Teflon during my time in SAC, and I’d expect competent aviators still have some today.

That sgt needs a good old fashioned Marine code red (if that is even a real thing) to help recalibrate his/her priorities.

Looks like Lisa Renna lips.

Not a video but some good sequence pics of the mig 23 ejection/crash at the Michigan air show a few days ago. short video here: https://www.nbcnews.com/video/plane-crashes-in-flames-at-thunder-over-michigan-air-show-190760005580

I’m really hoping it was just a really bad game!

I praised the increase in level of play too soon. This last game team USA looked like they were just called out of the stands to try their hand at soccer. They lacked even basic skills. Couldn’t control the ball receiving passes, seemed to not understand the basics of leading a player when passing, field vision was lacking, appeared to just want to kick and pray the ball went somewhere advantageous, a total disaster. I can def. see how a HS boys team beat them.

Any first hand reports from Oshkosh? Sounds like a couple of accidents. I heard one was a T-6 but haven’t seen official reports. Prayers for all involved.

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/66299441.amp A woman claiming to be a man plays for Canada’s women’s national team at FIFA 2023 W.C. She claims that she is a real man, but because she’s not good enough for men’s team, she plays for women’s team (can’t call her a woman though). So she’s both delusional and hypocritical.

Clark, any thoughts on parlaying some of Bartini’s ground effect ideas (Biffs shared video above) into any sea plane plans. It wouldn’t have altitude to use defensively but, if it could do 300 to 400 knots at 50 to 100 feet off the deck efficiently while carrying huge loads, it could still prove pretty handy. He dreamt big, but I’d guess there’d still be some serious utility from many of his ideas both commercially and militarily. -
A thorough definition of “woke” and a discussion that examines the evolution of the destructive ideology at play in our nation.

Crap I even saw a video of ole climate scam artist Al Gore still feeding at that teet.

This def belongs here in the woke/wtf thread. At least the Gen was honest … shrugs shoulders and is thinking “i have no idea what the hell a demigender is”. Complete lunacy in action.

I agree. As a many people have observed players on our national team should show appropriate respect or they shouldn’t play on our team. There are plenty of great players who don’t hate our country. The bad apple theme applies here. Some old fashioned discipline would immediately change the character and actions of the remaining players. The coach should lead and set expectations for behavior, or be replaced.

True, the Vietnamese squad was playing to not lose by 13 goals. As ClearedHot said above, they were very aggressive and physical (one could say dirty at times) to disrupt any smooth open play and keep us from getting in a grove.

Ole 500 must have created a new account.

Have fun and fly your butt off. Know your job well and volunteer for every flight or skill improving opportunity available. Press boundaries when and where appropriate. Spend time with maintainers to see what they do to keep you safely airborne. As stated above, look after the Es who are taking care of your planes and life support equipment.

Any of you field fairy fans watching any WC soccer? Vietnam played pretty well against the heavily favored U.S. squad. The Vietnamese goal keeper was pretty aggressive and did a good job of controlling her defense against a strong US offensive group. At the risk of sounding elitist, the women’s game is definitely getting better each year. Volleyball and soccer are my two favorite team sports to watch so I always enjoy watching top notch national teams compete.

Fritz, there are a few numbnuts here who actually think like that. You need eye rolls, or sarcasm emoji or something.

https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/17/23797379/mali-ml-typo-us-military-emails-leak Another cyber/intelligence issue the DoD hasn’t addressed in spite of warnings (for years). It would appear my dad was correct, attention to detail is important.

All the posturing makes me desire the simplicity of honesty by world leaders. I know that might create its own set of problems. One of my favorite scenes in movie history.

Anybody watched this. Some info, some speculation, and some analysis. Interesting.
