In my opinion, forget new raptors and forget new warthogs. Even the raptor is 20 year old technology.

it is sexy, in that dimly lit strip club kinda way.

Except when we try to fight wars without the army or marines, like Syria, Libya, Kosovo, Iraq (round three anyway), Somalia.....

Hey at least you were not in the Coast Guard

Actually I am not certain that the the army wants them, preferring their longbow system, and the marines are the last to want to give up F35s in favor or A10s. Strong USMC desire for VTOL so they get their own mini carrier capabilities of of LHA platforms.

And McSally

Because drilling holes 5 meters apart is going to cost about 2 million dollars per mile, before sensors to detect digging between the holes are added.

Actually, no, I do not hold Anerica responsible for the Mideast turmoil. Rather, I see one nation that has expended vast fortunes and many good lives trying to fix the mess, far more than every other nation on earth combined.

Dude your the one with the commie lovin’ screen name

It also takes a crap load of geodesic research to figure out where to drill the well.

The people who killed the other people are responsible.

“Iraq was at peace from at least the 1980's onwards until the fall of Saddam....”

America. Home of the land of 320 million people with a GDP per capita of $54,370.

You are imagining it.

Exactly. Because the Mideast was the garden of Eden right up until we had nothing better to do with our tanks.

Um let’s see.... Hamas burrowing, like the rats they are, into Isreal. Yup, that clearly is the fault of America in Iraq. Perfect theory you have there.

You do realize that the refugee crisis from Syria and North Africa has absolutely nothing to do with your copedium of problems you blame on American action in Iraq?

Except for the salvo of 10,000 artillery guns and scuicide teams popping up all along the DMZ

My dark fear in the North Korea situation is that Kim could see starting a conflict as a means of staving off a revolt by the military. He stays in power until there is a coup, and if he fears one is imminent and he cannot solve it by executing a few guys with anti aircraft guns, occupying all of the military…

I suspect no small percentage of Putin bots are wannabe commies.
