Blame Canada, at least they will apologize.

Hell my Dad has friends who served on the Belgrano from before it was the Belgrano. When it was in the US Navy. Be proud Britain, your atomic sub torpedoed a WW2 relic that was leaving the exclusion zone.

if it was H982 MAL it would have been just fine, but Noooooo.

MADMAN! MADMAN! MADMAN!

Thank you. Whenever I need a role model for what a man should be, I have a very handy example in my Dad. Quiet, no nonsense guy. Whenever I asked any of his buddies about what he was like at the PBR reunions they all say the same thing, they would have no one else alongside them in a firefight.
If I asked him, he said…

The Swedes did an awesome documentary on their pirate interdiction stuff last year.

My Dad was a PBR guy in VN as well. These look like Swift boat equivalents.

"If anyone has a weapon outside the facility, or even comes and goes from it, they could be cooked in an instant with almost no chance of unintended injuries or deaths."

Almost no chance. Of course the laser could blind a person, or put a tattoo on them for later identification. That way rounding up blinded or people…

"Parking Lot Football" I did this, only with a 67 Jeepster Commando. I was trying to see how fast I could push a shopping cat across a big parking lot late one night. About the time I hit 30 mph the cart hit a ripple, flipped and then wrapped itself around the undercarriage. So I had a really good spark generator on…

I would spend money too and I never left the fold. I stayed an Os fan.

I don't hate myself for it.

As a journalist (moi), I believe your career is done when you lose your credibility. How can he even say employed?

An Irsay. His father was the actual douche.

Navy calls WW missions Iron Hand, or they did.

I do not confuse negligence with drunk driving.

"Our starting running back carried his wife across a hotel lobby for more yards than he carried a football at any point last year."

Priceless. Domestic abuse carries a smaller penalty than substance abuse.

Smacking your fiance around counts as an offseason workout, I guess.

Oh and let's not even look at the travesty of…

At one point, the f117 guys were flown by airliner to another location nearby Mon-Thursday. All ops were out of the other base, which was nowhere near anything.

The black stuff isn't always tested at Edwards.

I have met Admiral Kirby, he is on hell of a good PAO. I want to be him one day when I grow up.

Aviators proved that ships were vulnerable to aircraft even before the war, however the Germans lacked the dedicated assets even in an even fight to affect a concerted RN attack on their invasion assets. Given the narrow window for success in cross channel operations ( like Overlord) I postulate the RN could have…

I do not dispute the rescue.

"Fall 1940: England falls"

How, by all that's holy, does the German forces cross the channel in the face of fanatical, nay suicidal resistance from the Royal Navy? (Are you really British?) The landing craft that were fielded then would be swamped by even a modest bow wave from a Flower…
