Let me educate you with one of my favorite documentaries so you don’t keep embarrassing yourself.

That is a lot of VA Ave time!

And after his inspection, the General went to his office, opened the cabinet, poured 3 fingers of something smooth, stared out the window and wondered, "what the fuck is this world coming to?" and took a swig.

I've flown both, well the 330, not the 320. Bus all day, every day. I'd even take the bus over the 757, which I've also flown (I've been through way too many initials). The only way I'd even consider going back to the 737, is if my seniority is just so much better that it would allow me to fly high time day turns all the time.

No lie, one of my IPs in primary was in that movie. Decades on and apparently he wasn’t allowed to introduce himself to his students without one of the other Instructors bringing it up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Meh, NEOs are incredibly efficient. The guppy has a horribly fast vref.

Well, that ought to take of any morale that was left! If the public only knew how much Jack Daniels has helped forged their steely eyed killers...

That doesn’t help him. The number of Army pilots (particularly conventional) that have experience and understanding of denied area ops is abysmal after 2 decades of coin. Helicopters aren’t limited because of the nature of their engineering, they’ll be limited because of the lack of fused planning or understanding and synchronization of enablers evident by the war fighter we just did. The people who don’t know what they are doing and never received training in how to do it are now leaders and they are as a population resistant to being told anything by anyone outside their experience model.

his family should sue the shit out of shitspin

It was an actual, legit insurrection....oddly/chaotically enough. DC could have sent the 82nd Airborne. Probably would have ended poorly, and the local government let it collapse under it's own stupidity. I have mixed opinions on whether letting it go until collapse or making a statement (with lots of firepower) saying "treason isn't a laughing matter" was the better option.

Blackface is. BLACKRED face is something new. We're not sure if it's offensive yet. We'll have to wait for the left to tell us.

This is what happens when the left’s demand for calling out racism exceeds supply

Some partisan race-baiter who poses as a journalist at Deadspin (whatever that is) concocts a story about some kid wearing blackface at a Chief's game and tries to shame the kid on social media. Epic Fail...turns out the kid is wearing Chief's colors and the headdress? Also, turns out the kid is bona fide and registered Native American. Many Chiefs fans are planning to wear black and red face paint to the next game in a show of support for this kid, who has been getting attacked by the woke left.

At a certain point you realize that most people don't actually have political views. They have political positions. The difference is that a view requires research, dialogue, analysis, and for many things political, there's not a lot of reason for someone to do that. Why learn about abortion if you're not getting an abortion? Should the average American really have an opinion on Palestine when they don't even know where it is on a map? So whereas the military leadership class used to be conservative, it wasn't because they had conservative views, it was just because they wanted to be a part of the group of people who had conservative positions. Their superiors. Now that we are in a rapidly changing political environment thanks to the spread of populism, the military leadership class is suddenly seeming much more liberal than the lower ranks, because the political establishment of Washington is fiercely anti-populist, including most of the legacy Republicans. They were never conservative, and they're not truly liberals or progressives now. They're just yes-men. Groupies. Sycophants who will morph into whatever they believe will please their bosses most. And since Charlie Kirk runs on a platform of "government is the problem" and makes no exception for big-government Republicans, obviously the power players on Washington are going to despise him. And like good little soldiers hoping for a reward, the generals will follow suit, threatening the careers of anyone who dares question or criticize the political "leaders" the generals hope to please and one day join.

You've never heard me say that. A country is not just whatever portion of the population works for your particular political position. A country is represented by its government, and its government exists at the discretion, or at the very least inaction, of the population. When the opposition to the Vietnam war became great enough that the congressional and presidential elections were decided on it, the US shifted course. That's just how governments work. The government *is* the country.

I'm still confused that anybody in the military would hold a general to some sort of higher expectation. If anything my experience demonstrates that they are less likely to impress. These are the people that taught themselves to love the taste of shit just so they could one day be a general. The ultimate "yes men". They were not promoted in the field due to battle competence.

The definition of “alt right” is actually, “anything that isn’t in line with progressive ideology.” Same can be said for the opposite side. What if we just defined things for what they are, and only attached the “extremist” label on things that truly are an extreme departure from the majority. Hint, organizations like Turning Point are not extreme.

I hope everyone is okay.
