Hahaha, well, I had to make it absolutely clear that I wasn't one.

USMC helo drivers have a good idea of how to fight down in the weeds. US Army invented and perfected rotary attack aviation in SE Asia, but once that was over, they focused on stopping Soviet tanks rolling through West Germany. Different tactics. They…

Who will work the assembly line? All those line workers who built the F-22s have moved on to other projects, other industries, other careers. Some have even passed away. So there's an experience gap that's grown out of the shutting down of the line and every day that gap widens.

Sure, you can hire new people, but they…

First, I want to make it clear that I am not an F-35 apologist. I think there are some real serious problems with the program and there will be more to come to light in the months and years to come.

That said; not even the A-10 does the A-10's job any more. The concept of low and slow CAS isn't practical thanks to the…

The USMC F-35B simply doesn't have the room for it. There's a huge lift fan aft of the cockpit, along with it's drivetrain and all the assorted intake/exhaust doors for it. And since it's supposed to have STOVL capability, take off weight is a factor. The F-35 already is overweight and an internal gun just adds to it.…

Between the first Gulf War, enforcing the no-fly zones over Iraq and the NATO actions in the Balkan states, there've been far more USAF air-to-air combat engagements since January 1991 than there have been amphibious combat beach landings since WW2. Yet for some reason, we still have a USMC.

The F-22 takes over the Air Dominance role that used to be the charge of the F-15. It's mission is simple, if it flies, it dies.

The F-35A will replace the F-16 and A-10 for the USAF in the "multi-role" and ground attack missions. Translation, it'll haul a couple of JDAMs to a target and will carry a couple of AMRAAMs…

We had similar conditions as Birmingham, just not the population. And it was a nightmare getting around anywhere yesterday when the entire city decided to shut down at once. In an hour and a half, I saw two ambulances that were stuck in traffic jams because people refused to move to the side of the road to let them…

There's a hole in that theory; there was no way Walt could have known about Lydia and Todd's threats against Skyler and his family unless Skyler told him when they met for the last time. Could Walt have anticipated Skyler would be in the crosshairs, yes. But he had no way of knowing the details without Skyler's input.

A…

"Throw a little 'Hot-Rod Red' in there, will ya?"

Me neither. I've seen better CGI on the SyFy channel.

I just nerded so hard.

"Millennials are not responsible for anything..." This is true.

"Also, if it's used by someone...they have proof they came up with the concept in their portfolios and their job prospects for moving up just became much better."

It's hunting for babies.

Yeah, and I'm pretty sure the Governor said that he wanted to turn the prison back into being overrun with zombies just because. He's a control freak and he can't stand anyone challenging his rule.

See, Vera? Dress yourself up you get taken out somewhere fun.

Ask Dos Gringos...

The F-22's agility comes from it's massive surface area - wings, fuselage, even the vertical tails (as large as an F-16's wings) provide some additional lift. The Raptor's 2-D thrust vectoring certainly helps, but those are there primarily to give the F-22 agility at higher altitudes (thinner air, less for the…
