The Agreed a Framework worked fine until the Axis of evil speech and the US ending its participation. This preceded the Obama Administration.

He must really be retiring. It seems that the NFL’s “Shield” that they use to protect the reputation of their product has already worn off for him.

I think the primary reason that it hasn’t been done before is that the bandwidth needed to tie everything together didn’t really exist. I remember back in the early 2000's the Navy was touting a cooperative engagement capablity with AEGIS that would be the answer to fleet ballistic missile defense. It never seemed to…

Muzzle velocity... that’s a long barrel and there’s a hello of a lot of gunpowder pushing that 30mm depleted uranium slug down the barrel. You put those things together, and you have an incredibly deadly round.

I got to see 2 F-16s from Kunsan AFB practice a scramble from the squadron HQ. Holy crap they were loud! I can’t imagine what a Raptor or JSF sounds like at full burner.

You know we are cooperating with Iran against Daesh, right?

Sorry to be pedantic, but Cole happened in October 2000, in the twilight of the Clinton administration. Otherwise I agree totally with your statement.

Realignment?

What RUmsfeld didn’t understand then, and doesn’t want to admit now is that in a Post-9/11 world, they were looking for someone to hit. The best analogy I can think of is when you’re a parent and you tell your kids that the next time they forget to do something you’ve told them to do, they’re NOT going to go see Star…

Yes, there are shitty drivers in DC, but this is more on the lack of pre-treating roads. The snow fell on roads that had no salt on them, and once cars hit the roads the snow melted and then instantly re-froze into Black Ice. Once that happened, it was all over.

I can’t believe they let that email out! It’s going to blow the lid off the whole scandal!

I work in the Emergency Management field and one of the perks of the job is that I get to help people build emergency kits. This is a good article, but I prefer this radio:

Okay, you have an emerging regional threat by a nation with an advanced and growing submarine threat.

One of them is a Neighborhood Market in Lincoln Park/Lakeview portion of Chicago, which isn’t exactly a low-income neighborhood.

The thing that’s funny about all of this is that my Neighborhood Market is ALWAYS packed. It’s in the Lakeview/Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago. Now we have a food desert (Except for TJ’s, but they are all TJ’s brands).

This sucks. They just drove my local market out of business and now they are shutting down the Neighborhood Market that did it. They haven’t exactly created a food desert (In Chicago’s Lincoln Park/Lakeview district, of all places) because there is a TJ’s down the street, but there are brands you can’t get at TJ’s…

I don’t think so, because they are alive now and mostly free. Which is immeasurably better than it could have been.

We didnt have enough to make any difference and wouldn’t for years. Our only delivery system was unarmed and defenseless. Their industry was dispersed all over the country, and they had excellent air defenses including tens of thousands of aircraft. You wouldn’t risk that type of delivery system.

Patton was a tactical genius but a fucking idiot when it came to strategy. Thank Christ he didn’t get his way because God only knows how many millions of people would have died if we had been fucking stupid enough to attack a battle-hardened army that outnumbered our forced at least 2-1.

How about we put yours in front of the barrel of a BlasTech DL-44 blaster? Both are merely theoretical at this point, although I suppose they both could be developed one day.
