Judging by your obsession with the election of Trump over Clinton, I’ll assume you are a liberal and probably a socialist. So then you would have preferred I compared overly intrusive HOAs to the Stasi?

And you are calling people Racists and Nazis. so you don’t seem to have a leg to stand on either.

Congratulations on breaking Godwin’s Law. If your sanctimonious ass ever climbed down from your pestle of self righteousness, you just might realize those dog whistles you hear everywhere is just Tinnitus.

You must be fun at parties.

That is the downside of Gawker shutting down. The cancer that was gawker didn’t disappear, it just spread to the other sites.

This is the problem with the Safety conscious world we live in. All the safety measures, equipment, and rules we have are in direct contradiction to Darwinism. We are making the world to safe for idiots. They are surviving to reproduce and the development of the species is suffering for it.

How about we just agree that Lion-o got out of his van to summon the rest of the thundercats and the bolt of lightning the sword of omens produced hit the helo and fired the electronics?

That rendition of the anthem will force people to their knees.

Camouflage paint job indicates military.

Yes, but not for the racist intent you are projecting. That is not the official Blackhawk of Oaxaca’s governor. That is quite clearly a military aircraft and given the quasi civil war Mexico is in with the drug cartels, it is quite possible that an increased operational tempo combined with limited resources have lead…

Even the best designs eventually if issues. Probably missed maintenance.

I remember when they christen the Spirit of Texas at the Vought Aircraft Dallas Plant back in 1994. The old timers at the Vought Plant had some great stories from back when they built the intermediate wing for the B2. From wheeling repairmen to copiers inside a crate, setting delivery times to avoid Soviet Satellites,…

We had those in the plant I worked at back when we had a machine shop. Held slabs of aluminum 4" thick and 6 to 8 feet long by 3 ft wide. Those racks could take plenty of weight.

I had someone steal the top off of mine in college.

There is some debate on how exactly to classify the Sprut. The Spurt would not be classified as an IFV since it does not carry an infantry squad. The debate is whether the Spurt is a light tank, Tank Destroyer or ?

In a hypothetical modern battlefield between 2 peer level foes. you would see MBTs at the forefront and very few, if any light tanks.

Or that firing the shells knocked the missile fire control out of alignment. Or that the Caseless Main Gun Ammo left a smoldering bag that had to be manually extracted. Or how firing the main gun lifted the front of the tank clear off the ground.

The US Tank Destroyer Doctrine also placed a premium on speed to counter blitzkrieg style breakthroughs. A bigger gun and smaller profile don’t mean much if you can’t get there fast enough to effect the outcome. The M10 could do 30 miles on roads, but it was a re-purposed Sherman Hull and gun for the M6 heavy tank.…
