I understand your logic, and agree this will turn into a giant monkey fuck; but those who died trying to find Bergdahl after he deserted and their families earned the right for a tribunal to examine Bergdahl's actions. Bergdahl intentional left his post and likely aided the enemy. At least six of his comrades of the 1/501 PIR died during the frantic search to find him. Letting him off scot free should not be an option...

Yep...here are the Fox blondes talking about it... Bergdahl to be charged with desertion, officials say

Foglenuts had already been promoted two times too many in that video...

Bleh. The XD-S has been out for ages. Hell, even Taurus makes a decent single-stack 9mm (the Slim). Glock is touting this as something new and special, which it isn't...

As women down here in Texas would say..."bless his heart!" And, as anyone who lives in Texas knows, that ain't a compliment!

NTSB preliminary findings say engine failure not a factor in crash...

Yep. It was the result of a forum cleanup, but we are working to recover the thread. Stay tuned, we'll keep everyone posted; but be prepared that it may be unrecoverable...

How in the fuck can this happen?!? Foul.

Quibbling.

Back when the AF required photos in officer records, a few of the airmen in the CBPO (pre-MPF) decided to show me their "secret stash" of replaced photos. They kept ones that we obviously funny to look at or had glaring errors on them (missing collar brass, badges on the wrong side, etc.). That motivated me even more to closely examine my official photograph before handing it over to be placed in my records. But since the requirement has been removed, I really don't see a huge market for this service. Also, any digital manipulation of a photo will probably not go over well with a board. I recall hearing about an Army O-6 who had his official photo (a full length one) taken from the ceiling while he was lying down. It was a feeble attempt to hide his "breadth" and somehow it was discovered (probably because it was blatantly obvious!). It didn't do him any favors. Lastly, how tough is it to get a new photo done? I had to do so numerous times during my career, and it was never a big deal...

Friends Mourn Fallen Pilot RIP.

Yep, used to mountain bike in the back country of Govt Canyon until the joints could no longer take the punishment. The sad thing is Geronimo Air Park is not too far away if he had a mechanical issue... An update...they still aren't identiying the pilot but most likely it was the owner...

Update. Of course, we all know how these "witnesses" are... Pilot was local.

Worse than making a salad in the shower!

The Grand Budapest Hotel. Worth it. Funniest shit I've seen in a long time...

For some reason this is how I picture Foglenut's speech going over...
