From a cost perspective it most certainly does. Why use a now multi billion dollar project F35 against an insurgency when you can use a much cheaper A10 to do the same job. Plus the psychological factor of having a giant cannon barreling down on you from 1000 feet off the deck. During a firefight that's gonna put the…

You do realize we haven't ever won a conflict against an insurgency besides maybe Grenada. VietCong? Nope. Taliban? Nope. Al-Queda? Nope.

I find it hard to believe a 3 star knows how to work reddit. Did he provide proof?

I mean a couple has walked into a White House party without an invite before so these things are possible.

Haha yea real strong emphasis on technically but yes you are right. FMF side though, no.

The USMC does not operate any variant of the UH-60. The Navy does.

You could definitely get that SOG key through TSA easily. Under the XRay it'll just look like a key.

“and a chip” I don’t think a potato chip will help. A tuner might though.

Where do you come up with 1000ft? I don't think those buildings are .2 miles apart. I would say they're 500ft max. But this besides the fact of how deeply you're looking into an action movie. If you want to poke holes lets talk about how shaw was shooting 203s indoors and they were exploding when the minimum arming…

Gotcha. If we charged the Army they would just never show up haha. Plus I will always favor the Cobra/Venom pairing over Apaches any day. But yes they would, and add a tail hook.

So then how does a 3 foot high car go about flipping over a 12 foot+ high bus while swerving into it? Because in the world of physics the car would just smash into the bus and stop.

I actually never minded Dulles for the 7 months I was up there and the 5+times I went there either to fly out or pick up my girlfriend for the weekend. I preferred it to Reagan actually since.

Why would we give the Army CAS? The USMC is a self sufficient being that utilizes all aspects in and of itself, hence the MAGTF. We have to have our own CAS just as we have to have our own DAS, EW and AA defense. But I agree that we could benefit from the A-10 especially if they could ever find a way to get it to…

For the USMC? No. We have C-130s. Plus our F18s don't usually go on carriers. They fly to where they're going.

The want for this as a personal vehicle is so high. I guess I'll start saving now for when they're available in 20 years.

And how would you justify the military establishing these complexes that would required a high amount of security in a foreign country? Let alone breaking them down to bring back.

Pay for the shipping from Hawaii and it's yours.

Not necessarily. I have a fallen angel (ex F18 pilot) in my Aviation Supply Officer class and he never deployed on a carrier. Marine fixed wing flies wherever they're going and hop to get fuel or aerial refuel. He's flown from the East Coast to Japan and never touched the deck of a CVN.

I'm sorry I live in a rainy climate and don't like to get the things I haul in my bed to get soaked or stolen. But please continue to tell me how a tonneau cover makes my truck useless.

Well yea just look at the graphics and CGI in this. That scene in the beginning is clearly a giant green screen it's pathetic.
