DoD loves acronyms but DOTMLPF exists for a reason even if hilariously ungainly.

Lol, Ramon is stating that Russia is so badass that they’ll invade Poland and bomb Germany.

Right, and the Shuttle program was the model of government efficiency with no cost overruns, development delays or performance compromises. I work space too (sorta). Some things are just hard and cost more time and money than originally expected. Anyone who works the “space side of aerospace” should be well aware of…

Defend the target with a Buk and it suddenly becomes clear why the F-35 is a superior CAS platform to anything else.

Lol...the day Russia drops bombs on Berlin is the day they all realize that if the US was on the side of Germany they’d have lost WWII in a big way. The Germans may have an amazingly small military today but if they bomb Berlin they will discover that Germany is an economic powerhouse not built on the price of oil.

You would need “a lot”given we would have a significantly less capable carrier and amphibious force able to project power from the sea. We would as many F-22s as planned for F-35 (for strike missions) plus hundreds if not thousands more in addition to a lot more tankers to offset the ability to park a floating…

Yes, a few dozen F-22s and F-35s would smoke the Russians.

Given the methodology they should have.

Having been in a (very) few bar fights with Koreans in my younger days even the wimpy looking ones can be an unexpected handful.

Peace can work because the “war pigs” took a “hard” stance that folks were wringing their hands over last week about how OMG the “war pigs” shouldn’t ratchet tensions up just because a couple SK soldiers lost their legs...

You are saying that because you agree that the F-4 and A-7 should not be included in the data when it clearly should.

That’s just dumb. You are asserting that joint programs cannot save money because when done incorrectly (by the Air Force) they cost more to operate because they neglect to account for anyone else’s actual operational requirements.

Given that NK called for talks in a conciliatory manner and sent a high ranking official the hard(er) line approach taken by SK worked and all your hand wringing about how SK “escalating tensions” with loudspeakers was stupid was simply full of shit.

He is obviously a NK plant to corrupt Southern society. Lol

Ah, yes these guys didn’t die, just lose their legs. Lucky for them eh? Better than for the two marines in Yeongpyeong.

It isn’t pointless because it’s an arguably better (but not by me) measured response to North Korea killing 2 soldiers than randomly sniping two (relatively innocent) North Korean soldiers on patrol.

Didn’t workout great for Kuwait. The Saudis are having issues in Yemen.

Except the report stated that costs at Milestone B is less for a joint program (i.e. joint development programs cost less):

And the ,Japanese proved they can be beaten in Colonial wars. Which Eastern Europe would be.

The voice of reason is not often appreciated by a mob.
