  1. What was the recourse for this “problem?”
  2. I didn’t fully clarify my statement. There were a ton of humble, willing to teach FAIPs there. They certainly outnumbered the minority I called out earlier. At the same time, though, that place was one of the weirdest installations and most toxic environments I have ever observed. I have never seen a more wrongfully entitled, borderline affluenza-like afflicted group of lieutenants in my life. You’d think these dudes flew night 1 of Desert Storm based on their attitudes and outward disdain to their future flight leads. Then again, I’m preaching to the choir. Thank you for your service.
  3. I’m betting be was never a UPT IP. Or if he was, definitely a Laughlin FAIP. Some of the biggest douchers with chips on their shoulders were to be found there.
  4. I think 18X to 11X makes perfect sense, and it is definitely a program that should exist beyond just a trial run. I disagree regarding ADSC. Maybe not a full 10 year penalty, but there has to be something.
  5. Serious question…are all white people the same? If so, I understand the argument for selectively recruiting non-whites. Last I checked, though, we all have our own DIVERSE life experiences prior to service. If there are illegitimate barriers to entry into military service, we should get rid of them. Arbitrarily discriminating based on race or gender (yes, I went there…there’s only 2 and it was assigned way prior to birth) is bullshit. Saying that all white people are the same is just as much bullshit.
  6. It’s a continent, not a country. I’m tired of the CT mission/narrative because it’s an unwinnable mission. Fuck it…let them have the desert.
  7. Started for the parachute save, stayed for the hilarious noises and gymnastics dismount after crashing.
  8. If the data is true, I don’t find the graphic surprising. It makes sense, to me, that the most vulnerable individuals would do everything possible to mitigate their risk of death. The unfortunate reality is that the vaccines are marginally effective and the chance of infection remains high.
  9. The Koreans, VC, Cubans, Taliban, and al-Qaeda may disagree with you there…
  10. And what the fuck does this diatribe on pro-American democracy have to do with blowing a pipeline?
  11. I’m not sure why you’re catching flak. On record, POTUS says we will end NS2 if Russia invades Ukraine with tanks and troops. Russia invaded, and the pipeline is now inoperative. Why are people implying that the US is incapable of following up on that threat? Furthermore, why are people saying torqued is buying Russian propaganda? Was Biden deep-faked in that press conference?
  12. That is probably my favorite music video of all time…thanks for the smile dude.
  13. Your apology is accepted. As a measure of good faith and to demonstrate your resolve, we will need you to hand over (post) all of your heritage material to remind us how we have evolved from crass killers to what we are today…whatever that is.
  14. We are so fvcked it is not even funny. Who on earth is pushing this shit?
  15. Would you consider a national lockdown due to a virus a type of sanction?
  16. Here’s a tactical tanker.
  17. I’m not vouching for the accused, and I believe there is a special place in hell for child molesters…but what ever happened to innocent until proven guilty? This dude certainly looks guilty, but the allegations have yet to be substantiated.
  18. Obviously asking for a friend…anybody have experience with a CSF aka brain/spinal fluid leak? Specifically, if surgery is required what are the implications for continued aviation service?
  19. https://www.foxnews.com/health/new-york-stores-begin-enforcing-ban-sale-whipped-cream-canisters-those-under-21 Assault Whipped Cream Ban of 2022.
  20. There is no abstract interpretation of intent. The two examples I cited were quite specific regarding that notion. You probably think Snowden did the right thing too, huh?
  21. Being negligent with confidential isn’t the same as selling/leaking national treasures in the form of nuclear material or HUMINT case officers. If some shitbag decided to sell our plans for an operational NGAD (if it existed…right?) to the Chinese, where does that rank against some crackhead who stabbed another crackhead for a poncho?
  22. The world where classified isn’t just an ATO with standard load outs in a permissive environment dubbed the worlds largest live fire range. The world where US case officers have been executed as a result of leaked classified. In this scenario, you are essentially saying that the person who hired the hitman is less culpable than the person who actually committed the act. If you don’t understand, there isn’t much more I can say to convince you otherwise. Providing the name and location of a member of our intelligence community is equivalent to a death sentence in certain parts of the world…yet this somehow isn’t equivalent? Edit…the difference between murder and being a hero just depends on the side of the fence you stand behind. I’m quite certain AQ feels we murdered Bin Laden. Americans likely feel differently.
  23. Lmao. So you are saying that mishandling classified is a lesser offense than murder? If I released the names of case officers who were subsequently murdered…where does that fall in your spectrum of justice? If a critical capability was leaked to an adversary and then resulted in the deaths of thousands of service members…how does that compare to a single murder? I realize you probably didn’t mean that leaks of “just secret material” is not equivalent to murder. That being said, I’m also sure you don’t mean that equitable levels of scrutiny and punishment be applied to all offenders. Hypocrites everywhere these days.
  24. My brother sent me this…which one of you RIOs is this?
  25. Odds that they are going to grandfather us faithful servants into the new $ amount…0.00. Edit: instead of just sport bitching, I emailed my congressman. I’d encourage other suckers like myself to lobby for a heavier wallet.
