looks like a pretty bog standard "motivational speech" to me. Confront them, shame them (question their manhood), threaten to withdraw support, challenge them and act like you don't expect to be impressed while hoping they'll take it onboard and carry out your advice. Saw it often.

Rodney McKay...

I take it those Draken planes are a private company who do agressor training but seeing the RNZAF logo on a corporate-marked is a bit of a surprised. I imagine the white-starred Mig-15 is one of theirs too.

Damn... well they sure missed the point, didn't they?

Shit.

i do sincerely hope that's a dummy charge with a live charge at the bottom of the hole otherwise that is just silly.

In five years, I threw a grand total of one grenade and I was astounded at the regimentation of it all. The fact that the range is so very scared of anyone screwing up (granted - consequences) that they removed any natural traits of the thrower. I can throw a ball pretty accurately but the lead-up to a live grenade…

War Plan Grey.

Dear America,

'tis pretty cool.

i really don't get the hate that is coming through in the comments. I gotta admit that I'm not always interested in reading the longer stories but when I do I find them to be balanced and well-researched. Keep up the good work.

as someone who has closely watched the progress of the Liaoning for nearly fifteen years now, this is the main reason it exists. This footage is gorgeous - yes, it only has two planes, yes they take off slowly up a jump-ski with any weapons and only half a fuel load, but it looks good. More important, with the deck…

As a non-American, I still don't get this shit.

It says in this article that he'll be putting Japanese soldiers in.

Meh... It's a theme restaurant. I bet if you asked the owner he'd be trying to replicate one of those Korean/Japanese Nazi themed restaurants to be hip and trendy for the local teens kids who are following those Sino-Japan-Korean trends. This is the same place that has toilet-themed restaurants for gawd's sake.

Bugger... Didn't fact-check that bit.

One flew over my house the day before yesterday.

Ummm... No.

But no-one else knew that. All they saw was him on trial for pedophilia.
