72 Clay Aikens

I found the Cliffs Notes version of Osama's heart warming letter to America. Here it is:

Bin Laden was pretty great but there’s this Austrian vegetarian artist that spoke up against Zionist oppression #standwithpalestine and stood for his people’s interests to spark a national socialist movement. I didn’t make it to the end of the tik tok to get his name because my Gen Z brain can’t focus on anything for more than 15 seconds, but this guy sounded pretty awesome. Cool moustache too. /s

And that demo was probably flown by a Boeing test pilot. F-15 Demo

That's why I get my news from PornTube.

Yeah, but it's modified so you can turn the heat off fro the back seat.

I trust YouTube more because it has more titties...I trust titties.

That's actually a feature, not a bug, because now you get another 10% VA disability. These boots make you money!!! I don't recall if I got mine wide or not...but I hiked Banff (no ruck) and didn't have any complaints.

72 virgin…dudes.

It is. Two actually, pilot and an FTE.

I'd be more concerned about the seat failing

That's a fair point. Considering how many sensationalist articles about the death of democracy in America I've read over the past 8ish years, and how completely unhinged all reporting about Donald Trump was and has been, it does make it hard to trust the same media to assess the political situation in a very different country and a very different part of the world.

And that’s the extent of their AF’s capability.

so is arresting and purging generals

Last I checked, suspending elections is about as far from democracy as you can get.

https://asiatimes.com/2023/11/cia-boss-heads-for-z-day-in-kyiv-as-ukraine-falters/ "Wednesday, November 15th is Z-Day for the War in Ukraine. CIA Chief William Burns will arrive in Kiev for urgent, secret meetings with Zelensky. It is worth asking: How come Burns is on an urgent mission to Ukraine? The answer to the question is that Ukraine is imploding. The crumbling of the Zelensky regime is unsurprising: Ukraine has been sustaining far too many casualties to survive for much longer. Ukraine either must find a way to make a deal with Russia or face an internal rebellion. Zelensky is setting the stage to have Ukrainian General Valerii Zaluzhny arrested and purged. He’s likely to prepare the ground by firing three generals tied to Zaluzhny. (Zaluzhny’s top aide has already died in what’s described as an accident.)"

I love that people have this idea that if we stop giving weapons (not pallets of cash) to Ukraine, that the government will magically fix the issues at home. They didn't use that money to fix those issues over the last 30 years. Didn't fix them pre-9/11 with the Peace Dividend. Didn't fix them between the time we left Afghanistan and the time Russia invaded Ukraine. Not sure why folks are so confident they'll suddenly dedicate those resources to the things you care about once the Ukraine situation is resolved, one way or the other.

Buyer beware, they run narrow. Short story: I gave myself a bunch of stress fractures in my right foot doing a ruck program in these. My foot being scrunched up coupled with a long, heavy ruck was a magical combo for a world of pain.
