If old things still make sense, keep doing them, if new things make sense, do them instead. The Air Force would be a lot better off if the understood that.

That dude is a total douchebag, no different than the people who would yell shit at Trump. Disagree vehemently, ask hard questions at Town Halls, sure, but when you’re talking directly to the President of the United States, don’t be an ass.

Only acceptable sig block

Not joking. Available on your phone, good for CUI without stupid certificates, let’s you actually coordinate on something rather than sending fucking emails back and forth. No read receipts, no masturbatory sig blocks, ack with an emoji, chaff can be deleted, attachments don’t have to be forwarded to the next guy, it doesn’t take an hour for old messages to download if you haven’t logged on to a computer in a while. Also you don’t have to log in to a stupid Air Force computer to use it, but you can if you want to punish yourself or are in a vault. Imagine baseops.net threads were just a bunch of emails instead, that’s how dumb we are.

But seriously, boomer email chaff like this is why everyone should be using Mattermost instead of NIPR email.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” - Herodotus, 69 BC 69 TASS - Best in the West!

Tim Dorsey, I hope you and your fellow executives burn in hell.

Amazing that an airman can be prosecuted for improper courier procedures or for wearing a Fitbit into a vault while a person deemed important enough can basically live in a state of constant spillage.

“Never talk to the media” is an old Rainman rule that has stuck with me. An easy rule to remember since I get a new reminder of why every month. Widman was in my OTS class. Universally panned, narcissistic, loud, humorless, mean, prideful, and power-hungry. I think I got them all. Oh, and zero chill.

You can just say “Biden”. And if you don’t like him you can just say that.

That really depends on what the Ukrainians think. In most of our unwinnable wars, the locals didn’t seem to care who their leaders were. Does the average Ukrainian think their life would be better or worse under Putin?

Exiting NATO is a terrible idea. I want ACGU on my side first, then the rest of NATO shortly after. I sure as hell don’t want China seizing more influence there.

This period will go down in history as the time when America squabbled with itself over internal trivialities while China built its swarming hordes into a military and economic monster. We need to focus on turning the entire world - including Russia - against China and letting go of moronic stupid shit like “let’s go Brandon” and calling everyone a racist.

“These WIC guys choosing to be away from their families for six months spending blood, sweat, and tears to figure out how to build, teach, and lead their communities in a fight against China…well, they don’t jerk me off even though I’ve highly encouraged it, so fuck them!”

Maybe some of the old guys could shed light on which General was in charge when AMC went south. And if they ever made it out of the doldrums.

Still a U-2 guy, still the best job in the world. We’re always looking for kickass Bros that want to work hard and do cool things, so give us a call.

The blame lies with several misunderstandings. You cannot “regime change” for a population unless they already really want to or you plan on never leaving. If they’re dead set against it - or even just indifferent - plan to be there for 50+ years like Germany, Japan, and Korea. And maybe Iraq, who knows. If you don’t want to be somewhere for 50 years, or you don’t think that successive political administrations will have the stomach to stay, either don’t start a war or accomplish your objectives quickly with violence and let the locals decide what to do with their loser leader. “We need to get out because we’ve been there too long” isn’t correct whatsoever. That’s was poor leadership from our politicians, including Trump.

Hey, that’s my line! But really, yes, some nukes on a dead man’s switch…

Yes…clearly the Chinese are frightened of the KC-46

We’re getting to the crux of the problem: that Hog pilots would gladly accept a new CAS jet if it were superior to the Hog in every way, but acquisitions/industry is no longer able to build them one. Give them a manned jet, stealthy enough to operate around a contested FSCL, carries a GAU-8 and racks of weapons, and can take 37mm rounds on the chin and they’d hop right in it. In other words, make it an improvement in every way, which should be easily possible 40 years later. Instead, industry gave the Marines (ironically, given the author above) the F-35B, which doesn’t even have a gun. Same with why the KC-10 guys scoff at the 46. It’s a great 135 replacement, though with unnecessary fluff. But there are clear, glaring deficiencies over the KC-10 regarding fuel and cargo capacity. Had the AF bought a 777 or a A330 tanker, KC-10 guys would’ve gladly made the jump. U-2 vs RQ-4, F-15C vs EX, etc. No F-15A guy ever complained about going to the F-15C.

That wasn’t a very well researched article. “Air Force leaders” was the evil straw man in every argument. And a really really surface level perception that the Air Force only cares about interdiction.

There was an ok Radiolab episode about this: https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/articles/nukes Presidents are human and could get drunk, unstable, angry, vindictive, and everything else. In my opinion, we basically just hope they don’t.

This is a video of an idiot getting upset about a text from his dad.

Clearly this is a troll, but he hasn’t been banned yet so my guess it’s one of the mods haha. If you’re not a troll…the reason you got 354 “views” is that most new topics on this forum are created by reasonable people with something value-added to say. So most users will automatically open a new topic and check it out. Your opening post immediately getting 6-9 downvotes is this forum’s equivalent of getting shouted down at a roll call.

I’ve enjoyed the hell out of the Air Force 🤷🏼‍♂️
