Reminds me of the scientist Boyd referenced that declared the ideal missile would need to be shaped like a boomerang...

That whiny ass bitch hurts my ears worse than 110 decibels ever could.

Iran tells Israel, via Hungarian foreign minister, it's going to attack Like your grandma telling you what she got you for your birthday, before it's your birthday

IRGC claims short-range projectile used to kill Haniyeh

You guys think the Colonel's middle name is "Dick"? That'd be unfortunate.

Is the example of the name tag "First Name Last Name" or does it explicitly say, " Nametag must display first name and last name."? If it's the former I'd say that's just an example like "John Doe." If it's the latter, easy, we just all change our legal names.

You should get an email at some point with your flt/cc's info, but don't expect a sponsor for PIT. There aren't necessarily a list of specific places to live unless you're showing up solo then there are plenty of PIT pads (Google will help). You can find furnished places in Schertz, Cibolo, etc. that will allow short term leases.

That dude isn't going to do/say anything contrary to what his boss says and jeopardize his next assignment/rank. There's plenty of actual studies/data that the AF has commissioned and then blatently ignored. I don't think a bunch of dudes brainstorming common sense ideas on the internet is going to help. Maybe if a C-17 crewed by two T-6 direct to Altus dudes crashes into an LGBTQ+ parade during a flyover they'll 're-evaluate' the training program.

Recommend reading Operation Pineapple Express by Lt Col Scott Mann (ret.). First hand account of a group led by prior Green Berets to get former Afghan SOF/Interpreters and their families out prior to the U.S. exit. Libby has it for free on audiobook. Eye opening to say the least for someone that isn't familiar with what went down.

Finally, a counterpoint grounded in logic, and not the same ol' verbal Russian handjob from the resident apologist.

Russel Case is your spirit animal Biff.

The whole point here is that there is a local law supportig this action. It's not simply a CC telling you to violate a reg. I'm advocating the politicians shoulder the majority of the blame for passing the law in the first place.

This analogy is on par with, "if we can't trust them to wear approved patches, how an we trust them in combat?!" In the absense of a law passed ordering police to torture, maim, rape, or execute prisoners I don't expect them to be constitutional scholars. We have courts for this. Its the same reason I don't condemn college admissions officials for executing affirmative action for 60+ years. It was found to be unconstitutional, but I don't hold admissions officials personally responsible for following the law.

Yes. At the danger of talking past each other, I am not in disagreement with anything you wrote. My opinion, and yours for that matter, on this not being IAW Article IV is irrelevant. The only opinion that matters legally is the court's. The point I was trying, and obviously failing, to make is that the city passed a law specifically to empower officers to do what we see in the video. It's easy to say they should have just refused. They're officers that are trying to clean up their city and were given approval to execute per the new law. Pardon me for not immediately damning them to hell for doing what they're told. If leadership directs a subordinate to do something unlawful, I'd prefer to hold leadership accountable. Even moreso when leadership just passed a law making it "legal."

There are barely double digit guard -38 slots per year for the next year or so. You'll have no problem getting a taste for what a 9-5 job is like.

Toxic Leadership according to a 0.69" Google search, "a combination of self-centered attitudes, motivations, and behaviors that have adverse effects on subordinates, the organization, and mission performance." The self-centered approach to leadership is what I've seen from the majority of senior leaders I've worked for, not to mention countless stories from the bros. I'm not saying it is done with malicious intent, but that hardly matters. The desire to climb the ladder in coupled with the standard knee jerk reaction to prove to the boss that, "we're doing something" has bred this into the bobs. It's almost like they teach this at ACSC. Working for a boss that gives a shit and you can trust implicitly is something I've experienced once.

Hopefully he has good home insurance.

Valid. Supervisors should know if their ppl have a shaving waiver or not. That being said, until very recently the only dudes I saw with a beard were black. Since 2020 I have no problem believing supervisors were afraid to ask for fear of being labeled racist/hassling airmen of color.

She's wants to know how your sex change went, funded with stolen money no doubt..

Let's see if I've got this right. Bus says taxation is theft. The taxation that paid for his helo, his crew chief's BAH, possibly even a few TDYs to see juicies abroad. You knowingly flew said helo purchased with stolen money, allowed your crew chief to morally debase themselves by using tools purchased with stolen money to work on said stolen helo, and may or may not have used stolen per diem to pay for 5min with a questionally female possibly Filipino individual. Yet, believing all of that was theft, you did it anyways, and now you're claiming moral high ground? Bruh...

If you've read up on any of the India v China border skirmishes like the one below, they're pretty eye opening. India v China (bricks, bats, knives, and Lucille)

The merging of phase 3 with IFF is because they twiddled their balls for 30 years on getting a new trainer, refuse to retain experience thus exacerbating the fighter shortage, and then decided to grow their way out of the problem. All without a valid game plan of how to solve the first problem. Combining the two is theoretically supposed to shorten the overall UPT/IFF timeline. Wouldn't really say it's an issue of "wanting" to so something, moreso having no alternative they're willing execute.

An existential crisis is the only way I see a draft actually occurring based on current politics. With that in mind, would you rather your daughter be raped and abused by the chicoms or drafted to kill said chicoms. Either case is about as likely as the other in my opinion. I'd expect some Nanking esque or Operation Barbarossa scenarios from the chinese were they to make it on American soil. I'd like to see a proposition like this on a national ballot. If for nothing else it would be comical to see "journalists" such Rachel madow attempt to explain to viewers how drafting women is anti-feminist.

Below is the actual law (see the bold section). There was an amendment added that gives local municipalities the ability to padlock a store first, then get a court order after. I didn't find the legal verbiage for the amendment in my 6-9 sec. search. However, the link to the article which references the amendment is also below. I'm not engaging in a constitutional argument. I asked what law the officers broke. Based on my public school level of reading comprehension it seems like they adhered to the new stipulations of this specific law. I reserve the right to be proven wrong as we don't have all the data based on a short video (which is what prompted my question in the first place). If the argument is the NYPD and sheriff are acting like assholes here, I don't disagree. If you think the law and it's amendments are against the constitution, I'll leave that to ppl who wear robes and have a bunch of letters after their name. Section 133.23 Act is Relating to Unlicensed Activities. (a) The Office may issue a notice of violation and order to cease unlicensed activity to any person, as defined in section 40-a of the Cannabis Law, who is cultivating, processing, distributing or selling cannabis, cannabis product, cannabinoid hemp or hemp extract product, or any product marketed or labeled as such in this state, or engaging in an indirect retail sale, without obtaining the appropriate registration, license, or permit therefor. (b) In the event that the Office issues a notice of violation and order to cease unlicensed activity to a person: (1) that person must cease all cannabis or cannabinoid hemp related activity as described in subdivision (a) of this section; (2) the Office may seize any cannabis, cannabis product, cannabinoid hemp or hemp extract product, or any product marketed or labeled as such, found in the possession of a person engaged in the conduct described in subdivision (a) of this section; Article: NY State Operation Padlock

I'm not a fucking shop keeper in a state that sells cannabis, so no I don't know what the law says in this specific state. As much as I love reading platitude spewing rhetoric and questions highlighting my constitutional knowledge, maybe loosen your sphincter an RCH. Props to @uhhello for actually providing some positive insight in this situation. Maybe UTFSF (known as Google) next time before you blow a gasket.
