USAF Finally found a way to get rid of the A-10
There’s no realistic scenario where 4G is doing actual CAS and F-35s are required to do SEAD ISO those 4G. Ridiculous. The reality is it’s either low threat and 4G is doing 3-09.3/JFIRE, or they’re no where near the fight and the boys on the ground are well aware they’re unlikely to receive much traditional CAS support, if any, from the 5G guys they’re working with.

I’d take the viper back in a heart beat for low threat CAS, but the F-35 is OK at it. Lack of delivery mode options and weapon options is ultimately what hinders it the most. Strap some LAUs on with forward firing ord and a sniper and you have a decent capability. But that also would be ludicrously retarded to do with an F-35. We have enough 4G and RW to do CAS, and if they can’t survive in situation X, CAS isn’t really happening anyways (not that the Army will comprehend that).

Today in hypocrisy...
Shack. Several here keep going off on strawman tangents about trump apologists - when neither myself, nor several others here, are doing that. The pattern of behavior of gov agencies is horrifying and needs to be stopped. Lock all the names up mentioned in the thread above, I applaud it if convicted. But if they “get this one right,” it is not a win for our nation when they’ve bypassed so many previously due to political allegiance. There’s the problem - everyone focus on that and stop focusing on attacking single names on the opposite side of one’s political beliefs. Apply this logic across the board and our country will be so much better off.

I don’t think anybody is defending him; they’re pissed at the bigger picture this situation highlights: completely one-sided (politically) actions by the govt vs. conservatives while the same people simultaneously ignore/cover up /minimize egregious shit on the left/tied to the left. If you (royal) can’t objectively see how much the federal govt has turned against conservatives in the last 6 years (including indirectly by ignoring left bullshit while doing the opposite vs. right), you’re willfully ignorant/complacent. The American people cannot be OK with this, even democrats should be pissed. The govt should serve all people, not just the ones that identify with a certain party.

@Negatory When’s the last time a federal agency raided a previous president’s home? And would you please answer CH’s last question. Look, I’m not defending anybody here, but holy fuck, we just watched something unprecedented in our country’s history go down that has, until now, been a staple of banana republics and communist regimes. Meanwhile the plethora of left organizations and figures who have been glossed over/swept under the rug is astounding. Here’s the major problem: there is no single standard, and when that doesn’t exist, you are looking at weaponization of the government along a party line. That’s the shit that happens in China, Russia, NK, etc. - not the United States of America. Lock up Trump? OK sure, if he’s convicted of something that warrants it by law. But no fucking way if you also don’t go grab the Clintons, Biden, 90% of congress, all of Epstein’s cohorts, probably tens of thousand three letter agency bureaucrats, etc. Regardless of personal political beliefs, stop accepting a pass for one party’s peeps while cheering on witch hunts vs. the opposite party. If you’re not on board with that, then kindly fuck off out of this country. I think you probably agree with that statement - but your words/approach communicate otherwise.

Commanders are dropping like flies this year
Seems like a standard PA video where they probably think they nailed it while everyone else cringes. I wouldn’t put too much of it on him. Too bad to hear, second firing down there this year.

Is Bashi an extremist fringe, or is he simply like the “many” I described, who are calling bullshit on the climate change scam (e.g. as pushed by the green activists). I say the words “climate change is bullshit” all the time without adding the qualifier “as defined by dipshit greenies.” I bet Bashi does understand that humans do affect the planet, but also not remotely in the way the dipshits claim alongside their asinine agenda and policies.

Lighten Up Francis!
They already do that - pro tip, check in on the app as soon as you land. That said, it seems “capacity” is no shit every seat taken. On that note, anyone have success keeping the Amex fees away as a part timer? I’m just waiting for the moment they actually realize I’m not full time.

I like the general premise of your post, but much in line with the theme, it’s notable to point out most, if not all of us, understand humans affect earth and the climate. Totally on board with working towards cleaner ______, in a honest, logical, and realistic manner. The “green energy” Karen’s and their overlords couldn’t be further from the italicized part. So when many people say “climate change is bullshit,” well it’s absolutely a misnomer, as literal climate impact is true, but the label “climate change” as described by “the green Karen’s” of society is a complete sham, and that’s the “their truth” that were all calling bullshit on.

PT Test Bribery
What really blows my mind is someone is such a slug they can’t pass an embarrassingly low-bar PT test, and are so weak-minded (because its just mental at this low of a bar) they would rather bribe than workout a little bit. Fuck ‘em, send them packing as an example to the rest, and leave everyone else alone.

COVID-19 (Aka China Virus)
According to DAL’s chief health officer (impressive med background), the new strain is weaker than the traditional flu. So yeah, everyone move on with life and stop buying into the bullshit.

Does it really matter? Neither of them are the actual decision makers, so really it’ll just be a symbolic gesture to kick him out. It also won’t hurt the optics helping the GOP - Kamala is just as much a train wreck in public as Biden, and that’s the curveball they never saw coming when they hatched this plan to get a woman in the WH.

Meanwhile, the parts store wasn’t open for MX to get critical parts, multiple families gained another week of not having their HHGs, and an estimated 6900 pages of forms were misplaced in the uniform prep “party” hubris (but the customer won’t know until they eventually call and are told they have to start over, mi scusi!) Fucking shoes

If step 1 is completely fuck our independent energy and cripple the average American, then what is step 2 to enable step 3 where everyone drives EVs, there’s green mass transit available for everyone, power grids support these without major issue, etc. All for advancing energy tech and making it better, but these people are out of their fucking minds on the how part. I don’t care what party you affiliate with, the current approach should boil your blood.
