Oh, stop it. We turned it all around with the resoundingly successful T-7 acquisition.

This photo is irrefutable evidence that aliens exist…….

You’re seriously going to pull up a post from 4.5 years ago to make excuses for your poor attitude? Yeah….we’ll moderate you until you regularly have something beneficial to add to the site. If you want to message me, CH, and M2 to chat about it more it privately, that’s fine.

Would the WaPo reporting be any different with a Democrat administration? Was there outage at the Afghanistan withdrawal with 13 killed by a VBIED? The killing of an ambassador in Libya? I don't recall the published moral outage or pronouncements of national failure for those or any other Democrat admin led military action.

I blame Obama

This is what happens when WB pilots do anything other than a straight in ILS.

This was for your douche comment in the airline thread. But if you want to keep being a jerk, I’m happy to moderate you indefinitely—your call.

I can tell you've never been coon hunting

Where's the WaPo article about the incredible effectiveness of the US airstrikes? I wonder if we destroyed any fuel bladders.

A "way" or a war? Worst kept secret out there. The U.S. Intelligence apparatus has been saying 2027 for a long time and a lot of funding decisions support that date. Increasing delivery of B-21, LRIP of F-47, 28,000 low-cost cruise missiles in the latest POM. If you look at it holistically China will achieve peak power in 2027 and start to rapidly decline thereafter. Economy, demographic and a host of other factors fully drag them down. You should go look at the demographics....they are paying a HUGE price for the one child policy which has now been cancelled.

This is a start, but just go straight to nation-wide Constitutional Carry.

No one is going to talk about the 767 making a pit stop at the bakery?

Friendly reminder the this thread was started to NOT be political.

Careful, he'll accuse you of beating his wife or something; my TDS is making it hard to keep up. 🤷‍♂️

Feel free to leave anytime you like...

The funny part is you know there are people out there looking at those pictures saying "See! I told you they were real, look at that!"

Nah, but is that you Tupac!?

Let’s start with the definition of propaganda: “ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one's cause or to damage an opposing cause.” Whose cause are they furthering and whose cause are they attempting to damage? There are easy, obvious answers to those questions. Additionally, it is written and curated to push a narrative that Iran has dealt significant blows to the US, the US has been decently hurt/licking its wounds, etc. That implied narrative is not accurate at all. There is also some 100% false stuff in it - but obviously nobody is confirming that publicly due to classification/opsec. Overall, the narrative is very misleading at best, and actually full up false in some instances (but, I won’t say the false parts are purposeful, as a journalist/think tank talking out their ass is nothing new). There’s the right, patriotic thing to do, and then there’s this bullshit. The fact you can’t see the difference is not surprising, but still disappointing.

Accountability is one thing. We all want that. Scraping tooth and nail to find every single thing to make America look as bad as possible and manipulating information to do so is a whole different ball game. That is what enemies do.

Maybe a weak crimp, or it was seated too low and crimped. I suppose that could happen to production rounds. If you still have the round, measure overall length. Anecdotally, the other day I was pulling bullets from a few old '57 FN Garand (we found 2 in a mixed bag with PPU, deemed em corrosive) and the hammer puller was absolutely ineffective. My wood block has the dents to prove it. Those bullets aren't moving until fired.

@No One You're not wrong. However, my distaste for this article is far more general - the fact an American company is happy to put out propaganda for the enemy. That is morally corrupt and wrong, even if not illegal in the law’s eyes. In closing, fuck those Wapo douche bags.

Revealed! You had subscriptions to teen mags, didn't you?

What would Jonathan Taylor Thomas do? That's what I asked before going into combat.

I can just imagine the body cam arrest videos we'll be watching in 2 years if a version of this passes.

Lots of litigation on this before it was even filed and Big Tech has lost at every turn. In short, Meta is faced with a $16B Class Action Lawsuit for allowing all the Fake/Scam/Predatory ads on Facebook and Instagram. In the long run it could change the platforms.

If in res conflicts with the forever home timeline, then you don't really have any questions to answer. But, I think if you DON'T go, that might close doors for you. If you DO go, it doesn't guarantee anything, but it may open doors and it certainly won't close any (at least on the career front).

I wish. Wife is reigning me in on firearms purchases for now. It may be a while. The really hard part will be justifying my ammo purchases with very many 50 rd drums. It's like buying an airplane. The initial cost isn't what gets you it's the long-term caring and feeding.😁

Have you bought it yet? It kills me he doesn't have a video with a drum mag

Dude, just read the room. Look at how many threads with literally thousands of posts and millions of views going back decades that are devoted to political centric conversation. Talk about airlines in the "airlines thread."

Concur Gulfstream also has a military variants ready if that could grease the skids further (domestic supplier) https://www.gulfstream.com/en/aircraft/special-missions/ I’m surprised this idea of smaller manned HVAA platforms for C2, EA, ISR, AR, etc… has not taken hold and the AF shifting that way. Unmanned and space based eventually but large cabin sized biz jet based systems are the low risk, capabilities TODAY to get to the next stage. I might see the need for some manned large (transport category platform) multi mission platforms but for strategic patrol / monitoring missions. But it would need to do it all, active and passive collection, over very long ranges, if it made sense.

arg you're asking a legitimate question to a dude who 95% of the time engages in nothing other than partisan reddit level quips. In general he's just not someone who engages in good faith discussions, although these days thats become par for the course on base ops regardless of affiliation

But not as cool as Duran Duran.

I deleted the last few posts—let’s at least try to keep this thread from becoming part of the back and forth political nonsense.

You guys need to get a room and do a dance off, like these guys. Red vs Blue.

If we’re all “pathetic”, then it doesn’t sound like you want to be on this forum, unless I’m misunderstand you?

Gerrymandering is bad—period. Neither side should be doing it. But let’s not pretend this is some new revelation. The reality is the cat’s out of the bag, and now it’s a full-on fight because no one wants to unilaterally disarm. Packing the court? Also bad. Undermines the credibility of the judiciary and turns it into just another political tool. Yet we’re watching one side openly push for it when they don’t like the current makeup. Killing the filibuster? Same story. It exists to force consensus and protect against raw majority rule. But again, one side is eager to toss it aside the moment it becomes inconvenient. And making Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico states—not based on some sudden principle, but because it shifts the balance of power in the Senate? That’s not about representation, that’s about leverage. Call it what you want, but changing the rules of the game to lock in power is a dangerous path. History is full of examples of how that ends, and none of them are good.

Ah yes, the "skin on the line" defense. The second cousin of the wookie defense.
