I appreciate that. Wanna say thanks? Buy me a good whiskey on Veteran’s Day. Other than that we’re just two people with different experiences and backgrounds.

I was going to let it go until he called them both propellers AND rotors in once sentence. Jalopnik wouldn’t let an author say a car is turbocharged when it’s supercharged. What’s the difference?

This footage was sent to us from the 40th Combat Aviation Brigade’s Public Affairs Officer, who tells us this slingload operation took place in Kuwait not too many days ago.

Towing? This is why you guys should let FA die. If your “journalists” don’t know the extremely common and correct terminology why even write about it? You even use the correct term in the article. It’s like putting a burger on the grill and saying it’s stir-fried. That’s called a sling load by the way and is a long…

Are YOU really that fucking stupid? You implied every ounce of that. He simply said that completely eliminating the TSA/security isn’t the answer either. You’re the bag of dicks that decided to take his statement out of context AND blow it wildly out of proportion.

We absolutely could implement something like Israel’s system, but the American people would scream bloody-murder and never let it happen.

Are you fucking retarded? Where do you come up with this shit? Never mind our military, our country is entirely fucked if you’re indicative of somebody that’s “educated”. Don’t talk about “this country” as if you’ve done anything to be a productive member of society. All I hear is “me me me me me.” Your tears looks…

You contradict yourself with every sentence. Are you really trying to whine about services veterans have EARNED while at the same time advocating for an overwhelming amount of free entitlements? You don’t see the absolute load of shit you’re trying to spew? For someone that is supposedly so educated, you sure come…

One of the FDs I bought had a tow hook. The seller pulled it off so it was unnoticeable unless you looked under the rear bumper. If you did that you’d see the mount. I asked him why and what he’d been towing with it.

Michael do you REALLY believe this has more to do with hiding cost than defense concerns? Wowzers.

Preach. Obviously there is some stuff they could safely release but they’re 100% right by saying tons of parameters and specs could be gleaned by releasing numbers. Bare minimum, it would give a lot of people a fantastic place to start. When dealing with people like the MSS or KGB FSB that’s already faaar too much…

What did you do to earn said benefits? The US was never intended to have a tenth of the free hand outs we have now (in fact the forefathers argued against that very thing...and won) and you want to add to it?

Don’t push it. With the idiocy that’s rampant around here you’ll have a plethora of tools saying what a grand idea that is.

No. You originally responded because you’re an idiot.

The TT terrifies me. Saw videos like this for years and it always amazed me the speed and balls involved. Then I drove it in a spirited auto (Porsche Cayman) and it just amazed and scared me even more for these guys. That road is absolute madness. I didn’t get to tear through the city obviously w/out closures but even…

As far as crazy (and a great rider) this oldie is still pry the best.

Because Gawker is a bastion of journalistic integrity! Pftt

It has a very thin layer of gold sprayed over it (and some other stuff). The term or code for it is “Have Glass”. Went on the F-16 originally. That alone reduced the Viper’s RCS by some 15%.

Los Angeles class subs? C’mon guy. The Virginia’s are right there. And that’s neglecting the most terrifying attack submarines ever built...the Seawolfs. What a thing to scrimp on funds for.

That is exactly what IOC means. Too many people think IOC means “ready for combat”. That isn’t the definition and never has been. Context and all that...
