Do you have any examples?

Bet if it was the Bush family, you’d care

Probably better to binge-watch, as the earlier episodes drag, though the last few have definitely sped up. As for the quality, yes it has started to veer significantly from the source books, but it’s still the same show. Some people on here are saying it’s the worst season; I dunno, some other seasons had rough…

Forgive my lack of culture, but who is this?

You must be the life of the party

You win

The Air Force has one too, though it’s for mission planning for drones.

As opposed to those who automatically think the ‘Murican way is worse. Yep, that’s much better...

You obviously haven’t served on a ship. No captain is going to run a submarine (or a ship for that matter) at flank speed longer than is necessary. Not only does it render the sub blind it also puts a lot of stress on the steam plant. I’m sure NATO would have loved to have a bunch of Alfas pass over the SOSUS line at…

But how, pray tell, would the Seawolf’s speed counter that (also not a “strategic” advantage, mostly tactical)? Agreed the counters to the Alfa were mostly developed out of fear, we know now it was a inefficient death trap. US subs have always been about being quieter than the Soviets. The Alfa was a special case, my…

40 knots is indeed very fast for a submarine, and is probably not too far off reality. Remember high speed does bad things for sonar, both making you easy to hear and making it harder to hear the other guy. And the nuke carrier I was on never made 40 the 3 years I was on it, even during sea trials. Not that it…

Hardly. Submarines don’t hunt other subs at top speed. Sonar is greatly degraded after about 20 knots, and cavitation at high speeds gives away your position. Speed is not an important characteristic for submarines really, unless you plan to be running away from a lot of torpedos

I don't think AA is considered "therapuetic" in that sense. I seem to recall a case where someone confessed to murder in a meeting and that was admitted as evidence at his trial. I am far too lazy too look it up, though. Anyway, that sponsor is totally in the wrong. Part of AA is the assumption that it is safe to…

You can talk via radio to the UAS operator as well. Of course a FAC-A is going to be the best, but IIRC there aren't that many FAC-A qualified A-10 drivers out there.

Ground guys love, love, LOVE the Reaper, particularly if they have a ROVER terminal on hand. A-10s are awesome but lack the precision you can get with a Hellfire, especially in urban areas

In my world, 'data link' is generally construed as a wireless connection, like Link-16 and the such. But technically I reckon you're correct. Nitpick withdrawn.

One nitpick. The data isn't sent around the globe via datalink. It has to line-of-sight to a ground station (the satellite link can't handle that many megabytes) and then from there be disseminated via terrestrial communications lines.

Plus they don't fly for 12 hours straight, they usually do 2-3 hour shifts. Nitpicking, I know...

It takes more than that to fly remote split operations as they are currently conducted.
