If the explosion shown is from the warhead of a weapon, then honestly I think they comparison video is more proof it isn’t a TOW. The older versions hit straight on to penetrate and blow through. The newer version in your link, which I think is the F that pops up and explodes over the top of the target, wouldn’t have…

If they are wireless, they are by definition not TOW. The W is ‘wire guided’.

Or an American missile captured when the Iraqis pussed out and ran away when IS attacked them.

I honestly expected a more coherent plan from McCain, he’s usually pretty realistic about military issues. Not always popular, but at least realistic. I don’t think the Syria issue has a resolution until Russia and China agree to let Assad get deposed and the US agrees to not have to be in charge of whoever takes his…

I can say with certainty that the TOW missile is not responsible for that explosion. I’ve loosed a few of those in my Army days. I don’t know much about ship construction, or if they are armored like a tank or personnel carrier, but I’m pretty sure one would poke a hole in the side of most vessels. A fireball like…

Both sides have great points to make, both for the F4U and against it. There were technically superior one-on-one fighters, very true. Especially later into the war. But it’s service record is beyond exemplary. Maybe a good way to look at the Corsair is to say it was the right fighter at the right time. It was built…

“Let’s call a spade a spade, please.”

Sounds like a disgruntled ex-employee rant to me. But then again, that’s about par for the course for a libtard hipster company like that.

You disagree that 1940 Germany had the best equipment at the time?

So then you’re okay with Iran having a nuclear weapon? What about that is a good thing?

JFK sent ‘advisers’ and aid to South Vietnam. But since our foreign policy at the time was to not engage in foreign policy, we really didn’t have any international support. A small incident was escalated to a full blown war. In 63, JFK’s plan evolved into a planned withdraw. Then LBJ took the throne and decided to go…

This kind of fake diplomacy has led to wars in the past, and will again I’m afraid.

I don’t think you work in IT at an automobile manufacturer. I’m in the same situation as blacksapphire, working in IT and making less than the line team members. Our production guys top out at about $27/hr. That’s more than I make when converted to salary, not including the over time they can get. But I started in…

Not sure what exactly about the carburetor is dead end. Yes, it’s outdated now. But as long as there have been engines the carburetor has been the go-to method of supplying fuel. If there was a list of top 10 inventions in automotive technology, the carburetor should be in the running for number 1.

So why has Toyota’s Julie Hamp, or her father, who she claims mailed her the Oxy, has not been arrested? Regardless of whether or not Japan let her off for importing it into Japan, she still broke the law here. And if it’s true her father mailed her the pills, he broke the law. Maybe that Toyota money is enough to buy…

Why did Toyota spend MILLIONS on R&D for a sub-200hp engine when they could have just used the 305hp WRX engine the Subaru already builds? It’s a vanity car, period. Toyota doesn’t care about giving anyone what they want with thing. I honestly don’t think they expected to make a profit in the first place on it.

Isn’t it a little odd the brake discs are exposed like that? I mean, it’s supposed to be an armored vehicle and all.

Wow! Can’t believe this hasn’t been posted earlier.

Still the best Batman in my opinion. Christian Bale was very good, and I can’t help but like Adam West. but the Animated Series made Batman a serious modern superhero. They avoided the temptation of giving him superpowers and still kept to the detective roots. It was damn good character development, unique and…

Probably 99% of the outrage on the internet is BS. People are looking for something to bitch about and are hypersensitive about everything until they get their rage out.
