Hey @HuggyU2, how many times have we tried retiring the U-2? I wouldn’t base your dream sheet on whether the Air Force thinks it might retire the JSTARS this week. If you think you will enjoy the mission, go for it.

Stop asking them to ball walk into the 2 and kill it with jdam right next to the red airfield while they’re in the clouds and their radios don’t work and they can’t hear the spin. Every time.

What do you propose the response is to unconventional warfare such as hacking attempts on our voting system?

Get on the Link. Great work, though.

Checks.

How so? I haven’t interacted with an SPG property in a while; what’s their discriminator for not awarding points then?

I figured, but it was a segue for the quote.

Dysfunctional GTC that is always declined for the win.

Broad generalization on my part. Just saw an interview where Neller said, “the powers that be were almost like, ‘OK, ‘Neller. You’ve been out here wanking for 38 years. We’re going to make you own this.’” Which is awesome.

That’s an important point. The responsibility of the national government is to its citizens, not all of humanity. A purely open border ends up serving neither the citizens, nor even the global community, really.

Why should they not arrive properly through a port of entry and use the immigration process?

Well shooting GPS approaches is pretty much the main function of the AF.

I don’t think we should discount their engineering much. Sure, in recent history it’s been copy paste with possible small improvements, but they’ve been the leaders in supercomputing for a few years now, if memory serves me correctly. As an analogy: Nikon and Canon both started off as companies making cheap copies of german camera models. Within 30 years, they were the innovators and undisputed leaders in that area. On China is a great read: they’re playing a long game, for sure It doesn’t take a full war to shift the world order, either.

You enjoy changing the subject using your lack of awareness and not actually making an argument to the discussion at hand. When you do graduate high school, try the Marines.

You still have yet to make a coherent point about how Gates saved the day. Russians still in Crimea? Check. Chinese still expanding in SCS? Check. Afghanistan still run by medeval warlords? Check. Go back to your parents’ basement.

WTF are you talking about? You think China and Russia are going to stop what they’re doing because of our “cohesion”? If you’re not a bot or high school student, I’d be surprised.

When you put together more than one coherent sentence, you keep changing the subject entirely, which points to you not having an argument. Gates made the force hollow chasing a pointless metric.

No way man. Gates’ obsession with and increase to 69 caps of RPAs was a total waste due to the utter inefficiency of the Army intelligence priority and assignment system. We could have given them so many fucking drones to cover every inch of Afghanistan for every hour of the day and they would have fucked it away. The USAF crews that were working those AORs did indeed do great work, but it was in spite of the way it was waged. Gates does not get credit here.

Whatever you think makes a solid wingman, please.

Until you don’t have but a few majors left...and it does.

Hell if I know; I think it was some sycophantic play to try and look good to the commander because he became mayor for the wrong reasons. I also think he lost control.

Unfortunately, no.

Could be worse: your mayor didn’t open up a safe space during roll call.
