Did he scroll 16.9 minutes into Top Gun and start quoting?

Nah man, it’s way easier to just tell you, “there will be others,” and try recruiting a 2Lt to replace IPs/EPs.

No, you’re a tool because of your “I’m an operator” bullshit. No one cares. You’re also a tool because in a thread where we regularly have civil discussion on a near-daily basis about guns themselves (with gun laws typically in other threads), you rolled in and said we couldn’t talk about any guns because of an event. Wrong for two reasons: 1) there was already a thread for the event itself to hug it out for your sensitive psyche in addition to being able to participate in threads discussing the legal aspect 2) By your logic after the NYC incident no one should have been talking about their F-150 or rental cars. How dumb does that sound? So yes, go fuck yourself. Or start your own discussion board with the tin foil hat guy and PYB.

Is this the thread about snowflake whippersnappers? So much for intellectually honest discussions, huh?

Lawfare: The fabricated news stories and click-bait headlines that dominated social media throughout the 2016 campaign are not a new tactic for the Russians. They are simply the latest iteration of a practice Moscow has used for nearly a century.

Frontline: Putin’s Revenge Found it pretty interesting; episode two on Wednesday.

It sounds like he’s referring to the electronic systems differences, which may have a more appropriate forum elsewhere.

They’re going to need ro recall a lot more pilots with how easy that separation decision would be.

Real issue: Will Huggy attempt to Favre it and set the record for most times returning from retirement?

Regarding geopolitics (and doesn't fit military/aviation book): World Order by Kissinger.

Tangentially related; addresses liberalism, conservative views, and the origins of America projecting its ideals. "Is 'Classical Liberalism' Conservative?"https://www.wsj.com/articles/is-classical-liberalism-conservative-1507931462

I was more referring to plugging in wing commanders who have only ever flown the senior officer qual in your jet. So far Vista has just given us an ADO or two, so can't say it's caused any issues.

AFGSC is trying to imitate. Thanks for picking out the best qualities to try out AF GS comm.

Classic move; you can't be out of the window if it doesn't exist.

This is not a good parallel argument.

People worry about the dumbest things. How the ef is that in the top 18 Billion issues a leader should be concerned with?

Are you trying to address an ACC Organize/Train/Equip problem that manifested itself in AFG, or a combatant commander misallocating/misusing his rescue assets?

Do you see the JPRC changing within/out of the AOC construct, or just putting it in AFSOC to OT&E? Because if it's still under the Air Component Commander of whatever theater, then the go/no-go decisions won't change much. HHQ ef ups aren't because the CRO on the ops floor was trained with ACC funding/regs, if that makes sense. Those dudes are pretty fangs out as it is.

Pretty interesting article; I only had a chance to skim this morning, so glad you posted.

Kimmel was crying on tv this time, it's serious! Can't believe that's the 2 seconds I saw mistakenly flipping channels. Agree on the need for a pragmatic approach vs reactionary moves.

That would never happen!

What if we let him have a black market SA-7 as a compromise, and give him free reign in a certain small town outside Vegas?

Curious: Who's asking you? Honestly, haven't ever looked it up because it never occurred to me; not even a blip on my radar past, "oh, new patch. That's cool."

There are more entertaining ways. Maybe that piano burn gets a little out of hand... Not as inconspicuous, admittedly.
