I’m really digging these Desert Storm revisited stories.

I was 13 when I first heard Motörhead. As I recall, my exact thoughts were “holy fucking shit this is awesome!” Their music was a thunderous freight train barreling down at you at 500 noisy miles per hour. Everyone should live at least one day like Lemmy. Dave Grohl said it best when he said, “If Motörhead moved in

It also allows any naval ship of small to medium size (under 15,000 tons) free passage, and naval ships of any size belonging to countries located on the Black Sea can pass through freely during times of peace. During times of war all bets are off, and it is up to Turkey, a NATO member, to decide exactly who is

Tyler is the most impartial source for news that I know of. I don’t even bother with CNN and BBC anymore because he manages to get more information, and do better analysis, than they do.

Tyler has, across the board, done an excellent, non-partisan critique of defense-related issues, and ONLY defense-related issues, after each debate so far. I don’t know why you’re so hell-bent on trying to bait him, but you did it on the Republican analysis last week, and now you’re doing it here. Why don’t you knock

I blame the English language. It’s not Natasha’s fault that “All you can eat” can be singular or plural (and boo to Denny’s for taking advantage of the ambiguity). This wouldn’t have happened in Shakespeare’s day. When the tavern had an “All thou canst eat” special, everybody knew it only meant thee, not thy whole

Can we stop the dick measuring contest yet?

Shut up.

Ask any marine which he would prefer watching his back, an F-35 or an A-10. I agree with you pretty much 100% on everything you said except that. The A-10 is a vastly superior CAS platform than the F-35, it can hit the enemy harder and for longer while taking harder hits and doing a better job protecting its pilots.

As usual, more F-35 drivel. This time using test pilots to supposedly shame the program.

Correct

Preach it! Absolute truth you spoke there. A fighter without a gun, is merely an expensive mistake.

Sorry but that is just unreasonable. Dog fighting is not dead, the last time someone decided that, a lot of american airmen died because the Russians felt differently. The 747 is one SAM away from being an enormous fiery coffin for all those on board.

I was at the helm of a racing sailboat in the Eastern Mediterranean once and noticed the boat had a funny "feel," as if it were in a peculiar current. A short discussion with the Israeli owner revealed we had an Israeli submarine right under us - RIGHT - under us, listening, training, whatever. When your neighbors -

Having visited an Israeli military base and having had the opportunity to watch a weapons demonstration (and also having family that's served in the IDF) - let me just say the Israelis really don't fuck around. We're talking zero fucks given for the rest of time.
