I’ve been in the Army since 2006 with trips to fun places. Trust me, I don’t need to watch the video to know what extremists are capable of. They win when they get this kind of sensationalized coverage. They win by creating some sort of east vs west conflict. They win by dividing people. There are already rumblings of…

Intellectually I understand this is news. Reporting on events like these is vital, but my $0.02 is that videos like these are in fact exactly what terrorists are hoping for. CNN just aired this clip and I changed the channel. These videos play directly into the narrative of extremists. I'd expect to see this kind of…

Um, what? SpaceX has been supplying the ISS since 2012...

The problem in this case is that Waco is very much a company town. There really just isn’t much else going on. Add on to that the fact the the county is pretty much a judicial cesspool begging for a DoJ investigation (notice how nothing real came out of the ‘biker shootout’ that left score of people dead and over a…

Tyler you left out the most important part. Forget the “tank.” Look closely at that lede image. Not only are they rocking some sweet ACUs, giving them the ability to be camouflaged in almost all conceivable terrain granite quarries, but they also are wearing knee pads and eye pro. Who knows what they’ll discover next!…

Definitely not. However if we are using the Bone for any sort of CAS other than in an emergency, we are doing something wrong. The utility of being able to talk an A10 on to exactly who is pissing me off visually will always go a long way to mitigate friendly fire vs a Bone dropping PGMs from 10k+ feet. If there are…

Yessir. Agreed on all accounts. Navalizing the A10 would make pretty much zero sense. I love a good Apache as much as the next guy but they can’t loiter, get to a fight as quickly (or more than one fight a good distance away) or bring the sheer amount of toys to the party that the A10 can.

Yeah that’s sort of the thing though, the weapons systems now can’t provide the same level of CAS. F16's and 18's can’t fly nearly as low/slow, have a much shorter loiter time and aren’t as accurate or deadly as the A10 with their cannon. That isn’t even taking the F35 into the equation. Why take a sports car mudding…

It is indeed true. Army rolls pretty much 100% metric.

Legitimate question, how is that not an assault with a deadly weapon charge on the cop? That whole scenario is insane. Should the guy have been speeding? No. Good god though, that escalated quickly. And the statement from the state police?? And they promoted the guy??? GTFO.

Not at all. Finally tracked down an ATS Coupe with a 6MT, and bought it in December. Love it.

Dear Buick,

But for serious. One day I will own one of these. One day.

Hahaha troll much? I’m pretty sure coach of the year many time over Patterson, widely considered a defensive genius, would beg to differ. It tends to hurt when only 1 defensive starter from the previous year is playing, and a significant number of guys you expected to start are either hurt or aren’t playing.

Thank you!!!! How to guides and the like would be incredible coming from you guys!

Skip no longer owns or operates Skip Barber Racing School for whatever that's worth...

Watching that made me sad. Such crunching, much depression.

Haha fister here. One team one fight. At least they don't wear ridiculous boots....

Fair question. The main difference is that it isn't made to direct fire on an enemy except for pretty dire circumstances. It is lightly armored to the point where a tank or even a motivated armored personnel carrier or joker with a .50 cal could do some damage. It is tracked to keep up with tanks and mechanized forces…

Haha indeed sir. As an artilleryman I tend to bristle anytime someone calls us tankers. Though I will freely admit to not knowing what the World News Network is so I guess it's a two way street of ignorance.
