So....into the sunset. Mr. Rogoway, your blog is the best thing I’ve ever read on the internet! Well written, factual articles and the best damn comments section in the history of web!

Oh man, I’m both happy and sad. Happy for Tyler to move on to whatever is next that he’ll be awesome at (hopefully we’ll be able to read his stuff consistently). Sad that such a great community is losing its flag bearer.

Someone needs to go up to DC and pull the Air Force Brass heads out of their ass. Damn they are a bunch of whiney brats when they won’t get their new toy, even though their old one is working perfectly fine. We really don’t need a new crazy fighter jet. It is cool, but most people we go to battle with don’t have a…

The Air Force likes to say that the A-10 is not survivable in a war against a modern peer-state competitor

Obligatory:
