Because tokenism is bad? Because meeting a character and within two dialogue choices goes into their life story about how they were raised?

It would be like this:
“Greetings, traveller.”
“Greetings. I’ve come looking for supp—”
“My name is Zerquinfalorius.”
“Interesting name, but I just want—”
“Let me tell you of my past,…

Always nice to debate with you people, powerful arguments

Apple Juche is my favorite kind of Juche.

I find it amazing that after all these years the US still doesn’t employ any form of COIN (Counter-Insurgency) aircraft in the Middle East. You’d probably be able to buy and operate a squadron of COIN aircraft for the price of a single F-35.

As a guy who works on the B1, let me speak up a bit here:

The people in Washington don’t grasp the concept that pure air power won’t ever win any campaigns and certainly don’t grasp that no matter how much air power is tasked in Iraq it will never operate anywhere near efficiently.

I’m totally with you on the ridiculousness of us not having an economical CAS asset with a solid loiter time. I harbored a secret hope that the AF would temporarily drop its obsession with burning money and start arming T-6A’s or Tucanos but we all know how that went.

The $ per flight hour figure generally includes most of what you asked. A B-1 costs about $58,000 per flight hour, vs. $23,000 for an F-16, or $17,000 for an A-10. That, and the B-1 needs the F-16/A-10 there anyways to pick out targets for it. You could use a Predator at around $5,000 per hour instead but you would…

I just find it funny that the best platform we have (apparently) to bomb ISIS positions is a strategic bomber.

That’s a really expensive plane to operate when you still need another fighter/drone or people on the ground to find a target for it. I highly doubt they would be allowed to find their own targets using only a sniper pod with these rules of engagement, or under any CAS environment for that matter.

Halo is different things to different people. For me, earlier Halo games were about teaming up with a friend in co-op to take down the Covenant. But then Halo 4 came along and pleasantly surprised me with the direction 343 took the two main characters (Master Chief and Cortana). So for me, Halo is now about the…

You really think Sanders is going to get nominated? A whacko socialist from a tiny north eastern state?

Nope. The could care less about that until they come into their own country. Evidenced by them offering millions to build new Mosques for the refugees...in GERMANY, rather than taking in thousands themselves and housing them in the air-conditioned and plumbed tent city that is next to Mecca...which is EMPTY. They…

This is Adequate Man, not I Spent $500 On Snow Tires And Probably Also Didn't Use Underwear As A Washcloth This Morning Man.
