I used to pound a black chick named Syria.

It’s not my fault Obama ruined the world.

“If we didn’t win, why do you deserve to get paid?”

Negative HolyRoller, the pattern is full

Good try, Comrade, but you can’t have that intel so easily here.

I sorta disagree with that last statement. I have long held that we should have just evolved the F-22 and gone directly to UCAVs. We don’t need a fighter at all. I could care less how maneuverable this thing is IF it wasn’t designed and marketed as a fighter, with the trade-offs in LO and range that go with it, when…

I was stationed at Holloman AFB from 1957-1960 and was in the 3225th drone squadron. We had B17’s and F80 and T33’s. I was an airborne telemetry tech and have over 50 hours in B17’s. The training I received led directly to a 44 year career in aerospace in Southern cali.

Exactly. A Gay Pride parade could break out at any moment, Russia needs these vehicles to quickly respond to internal threats from civilians.

Apparently I was at least half right... the Viper was inbound to CHS on IFR route, 2000-3000’.

Haha! Also...the hell? On the Lockheed test I got Skunk Works? I’m not even an aircraft, just a development team. I fly a cubicle. (I’m an F-22 on the Foxtrot Alpha test.)

And if the U.S. built a next-gen shuttle, as the third shuttle gen series after the Soviet’s shuttle, the newest U.S. shuttle would have improvements based on the original U.S. shuttle, what was observed and learned from the Soviet shuttle, and other advancements due to passing of time.

And in the US today, we are cutting the fleet down to less than 300 ships and cleaning house of experienced officers and enlisted to the point we will not be able to effectively fight a two-front conflict. Our "ghost fleet" has been pretty much wiped out. All while our potential adversaries are greatly building their…

Career wise? Nope. Hitting an immovable object (war memorial, coral head, pier) is pretty much as bad as it gets.

Whatever they pay you Tyler, isn’t enough. As a subscriber to Foreign Policy and a litany of other IR/Military journals, I can say that your writing is damn better than almost ANYTHING that appears in those publications on the regular. Keep. It. Up.
