It'll happen during a war time situation. Could be similar to the Japanese internment. Who knows? The demographics of Europe, China, Russia, and Japan are devastating. Unless someone comes up with a miracle solution, it's going to lead to strife in about 20 years. If somehow the Muslim populations find a way to integrate, then it won't be an issue. But if anything the situation has gotten worse in the countries with meaningful percentages of high density Muslim neighborhoods. The problem is that we (as a society) are now realizing that immigrant populations of drastically different cultures do not integrate if they reach a critical mass and are able to create homogenous communities within the host nation. And it doesn't matter how much free electricity or water you give them, it doesn't seem to deradicalize the population. Hamas has everything to lose from what they did, and it'll likelihood the organization will be annihilated. They knew that, and they did it anyways. Americans and the rest of the west have this strange obsession with analyzing jihadist commentary as some sort of code, instead of just taking them at their word. Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh: "We love death like our enemies love life! We love Martyrdom, the way in which [Hamas] leaders died." You cannot live in harmony with people who do not value life itself. Eventually you realize, as Israel is now (re)learning, the only thing you can do is give them a death that does not involve your own citizens dying by their hand. Kill them, before they kill themselves slaughtering infidels.

I hope they do jihad near my house. I'll help a few more see the light.

Name a good 19AF commander in The last 10 years. I'll wait. If they aren't fucking people they shouldn't, they're busy ruining UPT, hunting down meme page admins, or witch hunting at the squadron level. Something's in the water down there at Randolph. Or maybe it's just the collective dumping ground for the community rejects from the rest of the Air Force.

deserved or not, that's a gangster-ass move right there

Ummm, point of order. People in the military are not allowed to murder. murder 1 of 2 noun mur·der ˈmər-dər pluralmurders Synonyms of murder : the crime of unlawfully and unjustifiably killing a person

Hahahaha…c’mon Huggy, haven’t you been around long enough to know even fake accusations = guilty? Saw a guy acquitted of false charges and he still lost his jet/career while the female kept her civilian job. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

The investigation is done, which is why he now has a charge sheet and a pending Article 32 hearing (which is more of a formality than anything).

Just make sure you have a good lawyer! Your state doesn’t believe in your inherent right to self defense. Edit: nor stand your ground laws

Every community has their off ramp options for low performers, and the GO “community” is no exception.

Wills! …..SSSSSSSIKE!!!!

After the Cold War, our defense strategy maintained that the US should be able to fight and win two simultaneous wars in two different theaters of conflict. During Obama, it was changed that we would fight and win one war, and inflict unacceptable losses in another. Then, under Trump, it was fight and win one, and deter aggression in another theater. Our assets are more capable, but there are less of them, and an asset may only be in one place at one time. I estimate half the world's population is rooting for our failure. We're on the brink of an economic "difficulty" to put it mildly. So, we are not equipped to fight and win more than one war and we're dangerously close to financial ruin. We don't have the recruits, and we're sending enormous amounts of weapons, equipment, and ammo to proxy wars to the point we are affecting our own readiness. We have strategic threats in THREE theaters now. The Middle East, Eastern Europe, and the Pacific. What is #1? What is #2? What is #3? If we're feeling top of our game (and we're not), we can choose which one to win, one to fight, and one to disengage. We have multiple Congressional leaders now calling for Tehran to be attacked FFS. I contend that Russia was never a real threat. Why? Because they are small potatoes. China is #1. The world's energy supply (ME) is #2. Kirby is telling you we simply cannot do it all. He's preparing you for the idea difficult choices must be made. The enemy also knows we cannot do it all. Once we're balls deep in Israel, you can bet your ass there will be another fire to be put out. We're being baited into managing all the world's conflicts so that ultimately, we'll be unable to manage any of them.

That's actually not what he said. If you listen to the whole briefing, the question the reporter asked was in regard to how long existing appropriations would last for both Israel and Ukraine before additional Congressional action needed to be taken to continue that funding. Action that can't be taken due to the lack of a Speaker as of now. The end of the rope was the currently approved funding, not the end of the rope of aid to Ukraine. Of course a carefully edited twitter snip doesn't capture that... White House Daily Briefing | October 11, 2023 | C-SPAN.org 39:00 if you want to hear the full question and answer.

combat action medal as a C-5 guy? with one air medal? not saying it's not possible, just haven't seen that one before.

Biff, you can't call dibs on every lady in a dirndl.

Do C-5 guys log flight time while they’re broke at ETAR or PHIK?

What is a "Senior Evaluator Pilot" Rating?

Haven't seen any video of beheaded babies but I did see a video that puts that in the realm of possibility. The Hamas animals had shot a guy and he is laying on the ground probably dying but not dead. So, seeing how this person is defenseless, why not not kick him in the head and beat on him with your gun or whatever you have handy. The guy on the ground makes a very weak attempt to cover his face. At this point, one of these barbarians enters the video with a large rusty garden hoe and begins to chop at this guys neck to cut his head off. Again, the defenseless guy on the ground is not dead when this begins but after a few wacks, he isn't moving anymore. Curtis Lemay said, "You kill enough of them, they will stop fighting." Israel needs to kill enough, preferably all, of them so they leave Israel and hopefully the rest of civilization alone.

I’m in the process of reading John Nichol’s book “Eject! Eject!”. It is the history of the seat ejection system with heavy emphasis on Martin Baker. I purchased the book after watching an episode of Ward Carrol’s podcast after he interviewed this author.

Maybe we can use Epstein's Island for the first camp?

don't wanna speak for @ViperMan, but I highly doubt he's equating responsible/ethical hunting to dog fighting
