So many comments with no understanding of what the CAS mission actually entails, and mountains of anec-data on how effective a 30mm cannon is vs. a precision guided munition, or how tough the A-10 is against anyone shooting at it.

They don’t need one platform to do this. They have multiple that can perform these missions already. Attack helicopters and F-16s/F-35s are fine.

Well they certainly didn’t lose 250 million. That might be the street value, but you have to get it to the street before it’s actually worth street value. I don’t know what it would have fetched from the next tier of distributors it would have sold to once in the US, but it’s going to be a hell of a less. And it costs…

I’m not that upset with WVR performance. Are you? Are you really? I was never under the illusion that would be capable of fighting and winning in a phone booth with a MiG-35. I was under the impression that it would accel at BVR, all forms of tactical strike, and be capable of defending itself it got jumped in a WVR…

We here in the USA carry the cost of 37% of the world’s total military spending. That’s not enough? Jesus H. Christ on a crutch. Eisenhower was right.

My first thoughts:

How dare you question why the Navy’s Army needs its own Air Force.

I am surprised at how many people seem to think this was an “unnecessary” and gratuitous scene. It absolutely advanced both the plot and the character development.

I thought that Sansa looked in control when she brushed off the maid. Then she willed herself for the wedding, brushed off Theon and seemed ready. She even went through with the wedding, even after I thought that she might say no. Then Ramsay wants to consummate the marriage, which she slowly gets ready for, until he…

I’ve audited PPVs in the past, it is a tough gig but very lucrative, 5 years ago it was $1000 per place you caught, plus a $500 bonus if they were charging a cover and you could document it. Bar owners would bring in a residential sat tv box and order the PPV. Best night I had was 3 during one fight.

From my experience, every company that does this will not hire you.

Then you have to undo your belt. That's why there is a zip fly. Speed.

As someone who works in IT, both as a dev and a lead/manager, don’t expect to find much work if your only experience is a boot camp. Most managers won’t even bother looking at your resume. Education/training are useful, but nothing trumps experience. It will only be useful if you add it to a portfolio of actual…

To everyone who comes into these topics strictly to say some variant of "Shits not real" I'll recommend this YouTube video I saw this week:

What alternative reality do you live in? The F-22 faced remarkably bipartisan opposition and was eventually canceled by Robert Gates, who was always a serious opponent of the program.

Titty crease.

This is still blue and black, and you're a filthy liar.

Ukraine is not a member of NATO or the EU, so they're kind of on their own. Also, if you haven't been watching Ukraine, they're probably the most unstable country in Europe, even before this mess. They've gone through three revolutions in the last decade. Not a country you want as an ally. There is way too much…
