  1. True but our strategy (for lack of a better word) requires restraint, if it comes to needing cluster bombs, MOABs and napalm I'm ok with it but until then shoot carefully
  2. It's all the TSP experience talking.
  3. CDE not on their 9 line I think. CDE numbers exist for unguided munitions. It can be done.
  4. The heated battle over cultural insensitivity at Yale University has a new victim: Science. It seems the only ones "far-removed from reality" and "out of the bubble" are Yale students. There's this thing called the real world.
  5. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/12/03/pentagon-afghanistan-inspector-general-waste-fraud-abuse/76679004/
  6. Similar from the WSJ on Sirte, Libya; they're exporting their brand and trying to grab oil resources. This is a terrible game of whack-a-mole https://www.wsj.com/articles/islamic-state-entrenches-in-sirte-libya-1448798153
  7. So that's false unless you're assuming an entirely ballistic profile, which is pretty bad for an aerodynamic body. Credibility killed.
  8. No, but a similar offense would sure as hell get you kicked out of Afghanistan in 2012.
  9. NCAA, Forza, or Halo type stuff in social settings.
  10. I enjoy the methodical, pedantic nature of baseball. And that I can watch or listen to games from April until October. Don't get watching other people playing video games.
  11. See also: MC-12
  12. The operators were everywhere, depleting coffee resources.
  13. So there was no point to his visit? Copy.
  14. Did we miss the USMC Birthday?
  15. Are we really sure we want Air Force officers in charge of more things they can mess up?
  16. I'm sure that paper covers the issues of getting your cruise missiles close enough to launch so they don't need to be viper-sized.
  17. Extra punctuation marks absolutely enhance the message; it must be true because the group superintendent is always doing it.
  18. Would've preferred reformatted.
  19. Getting an ADS-B out is not that simple on the POM system, and considering waivers this far out for one part of their system means it's more likely that further exemptions will be allowed later. Also, a Mode S transmitter is not inherently ADS-B compliant; there are further upgrades involved.
  20. FAA: JK, we probably won't ground everyone without ADS-B in 2020. Guess that firm no-exemption deadline might be less firm than initially stated. https://www.wsj.com/articles/faa-to-let-airlines-seek-to-delay-navigation-upgrades-1445017417
  21. Can also have the benefit of limiting shift work with geographic distribution across time zones, but there are unfortunately many factors at play.
  22. Hey, they're campaigning for better/more logical places like Germany, England, and Hawaii. Don't put that evil on them Ricky Bobby.
