Weird reaction for me. Air Force veteran here, my job wasn’t security related, and I’ve read plenty of stories similar to this with little emotional response beyond “damn, that sucks.” This one, for whatever reason, got to me a lot more than most. I’m always dreading reading a name I recognize, but that day hasn’t…

I would like to deeply apologize for the above comment. When I said “so long Jerkbags”, I didn’t mean to imply that the rest of you are, in fact, Jerkbags. I was suffering from exhaustion at the time and have deep respect for the Jerkbag community.

As the mother of 2 boys, I’m becoming very aware of the weird way we teach them things. At my son’s playgroup a dad got super angry at his son when he got into a tussle with a little girl over a toy. He was yelling “you never hit a girl” at his kid. And I was just thinking “Dude, why not teach him not to hit ANYONE.”

I wonder if the course should be extended to women and men? Cos internalized misogyny is a thing that affects everyone, not just men...

To me, the last paragraph exemplifies why this is a good idea. It seems like they’re going out of their way to avoid saying “your immigrant ways are wrong” and instead are saying “there are the rules here. even if these rules don’t apply where you are from, they apply in Norway.”

“that it didn’t go to the contest[ant] with biggest tits or criteria like that”.

FJ-1, Supermarine Attacker, F6U, F9F, Hawker Sea Hawk, Sea Venom, F4D, F3H, FJ-2, FJ-4, A-4, A-7, F-8, AV-8, F-11, Etendard, Yak-38.

Skyhawks and Corsair IIs were such a failure.

1) The pod is a 25mm gunpod, the F-35B and C didn’t have space for a gun internally. Don’t give me some Vietnam shit, the gun works this time. (And the pilots are going to be trained in dogfighting...not to mention its very hard to go wrong in ACM when you know where EVERYTHING is)

I am so damned tired of that argument. That is exactly the same as someone who has a problem with their car and then proclaiming that they’re going to take it to their barber to fix instead because they don’t trust mechanics.

Cites Breitbart for technical issues - strike 1

That’s President Obama, and yeah I would bet he did the man is an academic and I’m sure when he decided to run for president he hit the books and asked his advisers especially because national defense has been a big deal in both of his campaigns.

Noted. Don’t click on political articles in the future. Everybody wins.

Ugh dude, that is the lamest and most misogynist Penthouse letter I have ever read.

In college my roommate and I decided to throw a generalized “winter” party. We cut out paper snowflakes, put Christmas lights everywhere, holiday colored jello shots, etc. We had about 50 people in our tiny apartment, had an awesome party, cops came, people had to leave, yada yada yada...

And this, folks, as how we know we are still on Jalopnik!

I never agreed to that.

I’m glad we all agree that it’s most definitely a ship, at least...

They’ll likely use block 1 LRIP models which are slightly heavier and non standard. Using 10 SH out of 500+ isn’t that big of a deal especially because the congress/navy want to keep the line open by buying 12-24 each year until Kuwait and other possible orders are filled.
