I love when the "credit" discussion comes up. You guys continue to crack me up when you insist that "using" credit cards is somehow contributing to your wealth. You are doing nothing but putting money into the hands of credit card companies. Plain and simple. Want to be wealthy one day? Start paying in CASH and live on a budget that puts every dollar in its place every week. You'll feel like you got a pay raise, and you won't owe anything to anybody.

Should they keep this on the downlow? Absolutely. I say this because of possible legal ramifications that can come from second guessing our troops in the field. While it is a different story, I remember reading a while back about Seals who were prosecuted for allegedly abusing a detainee. They were all acquitted, but their careers could be over [emphasis on "could"], but I don't know. I do remember hearing people criticizing the raid because they thought a woman had been killed in the compound, which is why I bring up the trial above. If the ROEs are shoot to kill even if you feel threatened, then the seals performing in Neptune Spear did the right thing. However, American public opinion could try and lambaste these guys for any collateral damage inflicted. The best thing to do is keep quiet about all of this stuff and let the administration give details as they see fit. Everyone is criticizing our president because he seems to be or is taking credit for the raid. I don't see what the big deal is here, because he is the one who gave the go ahead, and I applaud him for making the tough decision. He deserves part of the credit since he is in charge, but the timing was also right. While the operation would be great to hear about, I'd rather not subject anyone to being outed by such a book as this. The author more than likely signed an NDA and was aware of the consequences. I'm glad it's a good book, but I don't see the blowback from this being over for a while.

Also not at an airshow, but friend of a friend of aerobatics competitions. https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/Small-Airplane-Crashes-in-Borrego-Springs-169041686.html Point being, quite a few deaths recently.

Fucking navs...

We must not have been to the same Doha. That place is an absolute shithole.

I think you guys are losing the forest through the trees. Grossman an is an engaging speaker with relevant ideas who has helped people. He has at least 2 excellent & thought provoking books to his name. If you're missing his overall point because you disagree with the way he's phrased his opening salvo, that's valid feedback, but relatively minor and certainly tangential.
