This may amount to some sort of sacrilege but if I owned one of these I might opt to extend the exhaust pipes just a few inches so that the flames ended up outside the engine bay.

The problem is that it is going to cost too much. Give us a stripper, small truck like an 1980s model Toyota and I think you would grab sales. This thing will cost as much as a full sized truck and do less.
Tens of millions of drivers? Where? Heck, 17% of the work force is foreign now. There are your jobs.
Maybe that happened because the tracks didn’t go where I wanted to go. Throw a wonderful light rail system into Detroit and you still have nothing.
Is the B-1 crew in as much danger as an A-10 or F-16 down on the deck? Even if the A-10 isn’t fired on, the pilot is in much more danger than a B-1 crew that is.
You’re timeline is too short. The Turks and Saudis are Sunnis as are the Egyptians. But hey, I agree. Lets get the hell out of there. And prevent them from leaving their areas and into ours. I am perfectly happy with a policy of benign indifference.
We can’t sit around for a generation and be attacked. Sorry. The Sunnis were always our allies until we decided to topple Hussein and impose democracy. The strong men of the region did a much better job by every measure including, ironically, human rights. The “Arab Spring” pushed by Obama and Hillary unleashed these…
Well, NATO members have been attacked by ISIS. I don’t necessarily disagree with you though. Pinpoint, targeted strikes might be good to take out this or that leader. If we are going to get involved we need a strong man that can run the place and keep the crazies under control. Maybe an Assad or a Hussein?
Such a sad and timid spectacle. My read? Putin would love the respect shown to the world community if we took the Russians into the command structure and coordinated attacks. Forget the Turks. They aren’t providing any aircraft for offensive operations anyway. Line up all the air assets on Cyprus and go to work. Base…
The #1 job of NATO is protecting the territorial integrity of its members.
Oddly, we both agree that we should work with the Russians on the Islamic menace. We are natural allies. But attacking Tyler on this article is a little off putting. I hope that we aren’t so afraid of losing a plane that we are hiding from the Russians BUT Tyler is making a pretty good case that we are. It’s a sad…
I spent several years in the air force and I was once a history teacher and I love defense technology and issues. And I know what the triad is. But realistically? Is it really a triad any longer? Are we going to air drop a nuke anywhere anymore? When a cruise missile would be just as accurate and far less dangerous to…
