LOL! Sierra Hotel digital... ;)

Awesome! Thanks for the info. Foxtrot Alpha is officially DEAD.

Prepare to get un-fucked. Stand-by...

Classic!

Didn’t and would never happen. I’ve had dozens of officers not return a salute for a variety of reasons, it isn’t a requirement to return a salute, just established courtesy... Civilians are so silly sometimes in how they perceive the military.

As a Marine, I can tell you it’s an honor, no matter what. You respect the position, not the man. But, I’m sure you wouldn’t understand that.

It’s called hope. Which is running out fast.

If Tyler is gone, so am I. Was never here for Gawker clickbait bullshit, was here for his good writing (pre-2016).

...What happens when the Navy gets rid of Marines and uses squids for base security...

The fact that you care about this means you don’t serve humanity any useful purpose. This chick got fired because a bunch of dumbfuck pedo-neckbeards got mad that their loli got turned down. I mean fucking wow... just wow. She’s now in danger of not paying bills, rent, etc (something non-neckbeard loser fucks don’t…

Was speaking in generalities. Didn’t feel the need to post a physics lesson. 110,000+ feet, 4,280+ mph, figure shockwave profile, shape of weapons bay / popout deflector of some sort, thermally resistant weapon shape optimised for that speed / alt / air density.... Keep weapon from hitting shockwave and bouncing back…

In all of human history, there has been ZERO evidence to support the existence of the supernatural. ‘Faith’ that so many pride themselves on is simply ones ability to ignore the above fact. There’s nothing noble in ones capacity for self-deception. This whole “my imaginary sky friend is better than your imaginary sky…

It can be figured out to perfection in a fluid dynamics computational analysis within two days. It already is actually... Rockets shed parts regularly at those speeds and altitudes (fairings, srbs, etc)... Not hard at all.

Of course. Just being fair. He wasn’t the “total sob” drive-by history makes him out to be... He wasn’t a Mao, Pol-Pot (Which, the NVA actually intervened and saved the people of Cambodia), or a Kim. He was a pragmatist and brilliant strategist. The French defeat at Dien Bien Phu was textbook asymmetric battle with…

Yup... ISIS, GOP, all the same.

Bingo!

Only partially die... ‘Mostly Dead’...

Oh... I have to read that! My father in law was an ARVN Major...

;)

Yup. They were driven and motivated by an ‘arguably’ moral reason to fight. The north fought for reunification under Ho Chi Minh. Hi Chi Minh was also a U.S. ally during WWII, leading Vietnamese resistance to Japanese conquest. After the war, he approached the USA for help in getting out from under French colonial…
