“We don’t do a public consult because the public doesn’t have anything to add to the process.”

Sadly, Americans do not posses comprehension of northern neighbors.

Maybe I’m off base, but I’m guessing “I’m damaging the fragile cryptobiotic crust” isn’t paramount in the mind of someone who emblazons their Wrangle with it’s name (something like “REAPER” with a skull or bear paw for one letter) and festoons their big boy toy with American Flag Punisher decals and No Step On Snek…

I love it that you don’t do a public consult “because the public doesn’t have anything to add to the process.” That sums it up. Let experts and people that rely on science make the decision and it if screws up someone’s “fun”, tough.

Thank you for the well written post. “but I want to tear it up with my side by side” should not be paramount.

I work in environmental science and land reclamation. I manage a federally-protected wildlife sanctuary. I agree that this sucks for the off-road community.

The WRX screams, “I’m a Javascript developer who was told this is a cool car to buy because it has all the cool stuff that makes a cool car cool: AWD, Turbo, Six Speed, Spoiler, Disc Brakes, and comes in electric blue.”

That initial F-16 test has been debunked as crap reporting for years now. The red flag performance was hardly a surprise to anyone who was paying attention. You are out of your depth and your opinion is wrong.

Bruh, that was exactly the outdated hyperbole I was referring to. It scored an 18/1 kill ratio at the red flag exercise a month ago. You are spouting off about a non public initial test before the maneuverability envelope had even been established vs a fighter that has had decades of tactical research. For goodness…

I highly recommend that place. It’s got an interesting commentariat and I’m a fan of the authors.

I’m Army (National Guard, actually) and I served in some of the same AOs as the Marines during a couple of my deployments. The Marines having old, worn-out equipment is nothing new. Even the Guard gets better equipment than the Marines. Where we were going out on Patrols with M-4s that had IR lights, NVG mounts, and…

So that’s why Webber retired last year.

Ok buddy. I guess you know me and my political leanings very well. Its nice to see such a close friend with whom I’ve had many deep conversations making comments on the internet!

“I am unable to read. How the hell am I even using a computer?!”

I swear every other 5 or so stories you have some reader wondering in thinking this was a Jalopnik piece... shit gets annoying...

It’s not though. It’s on Foxtrot Alpha

Foxtrot Alpha is part of Jalopnik.

They weren’t normal customers. They were flying with passes. As a guy I can get refused for wearing jeans with passes.
