  1. While I get the joke, go get the NGIC briefing on Ukraine and focus on the logistics and sustainment sides of it. (The non sexy stuff people ignore). We have hard number data now on just how much of a force multiplier a single forklift or K loader is because we are watching a peer military do without it. When I think of just how many pallets of stuff moved on Ramps at Bagram or Taji for a war where sustainment of ammunition wasn’t really a concern. Now imagine the same scenario without the automation and organized work gangs of 18-23 year olds who don’t want to be there and are poorly supervised. That is gonna be a major make/break point beyond simply having enough ready munitions in stock (the current shiny thing of focus). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  3. Well, progressives can’t even define what a women is, so doesn’t this make us all non-XYZ, LGBTQxxxx, etc? What I truly don’t understand is how the left will say they can’t define what a woman is, and just minutes later complain about woman rights?

  4. Conspiracy theories all fail when you realize that POTUS couldn’t keep secret the fact that he had an intern blow him under the desk. Two people knew that, pre-social media and it became public knowledge in under 2 years. There is no way we are getting frequent visits from extraterrestrials and keeping it quiet.

  7. The ground effect airfoil systems are essentially a higher speed version of hydrofoil/hovercraft type designs. They have specific niche areas where they work effectively to do rapid light transfers but they are extremely limited in any sort of dynamic open water environment. Start adding up distances and unpredictable weather patterns. There is a reason outside a very few areas you don’t see high-speed hydrofoils and even when you do, they are an augmentation to the existing heavy conventional sealift (good example the Greek isles). The real fear for the Caspian Sea monster and other ground effect systems wasn’t their ability to rapidly put a mass of troops and equipment, it was because they were effectively a warship’s worth of cruise missile platform that could rapidly move and maneuver from a relatively safe sanctuary to a firing position against a land or sea based target and then run away before presenting a viable target. Same with things like of the same era like the OSA missile boats. A swarm of them would present a real dilemma for a fleet forcing them to exercise stand off and render themselves ineffective.

  8. If goes both ways. Nothing like a chick boomer that gives good radio to start a politically incorrect conversation on the inter-flight freq. I fly the flag on my boat while I'm contemplating whatever -ist or -ism I might be accused of by those without a better argument. The flag generates questions and explaining the history of Yankee Air Pirate is a good time.
