Thats like someone asking you if you would rather be Batman, Superman, Thor, or Ironman, and you respond with “I want to be mint berry crunch”.

The Honda Fit’s a great car.
How is it not? Just because it’s not a beater brown diesel hatchback Miata on Craigslist, doesn’t mean it’s not a bargain.

That you have to give up on a fun car when you have a family is a lie.
I thought most Russian flights were relatively low and slow to allow them to drop dumb bombs rather than expensive guided munitions.
Well to start the rebels definitely aren’t “ISIS affiliates.” They (the FSA) made an uncomfortable alliance with an *al Qaeda* affiliate in the al Nusra Front but this was born out of necessity during the stalemate of 2012-2013. Al Nusra with its foreign fighters and illicit funding was doing a better job than the FSA…
ATK actually militarizes them. The cost isn’t just Hellfire integration though, they also have a sophisticated EO/IR optics and fire control system, military datalinks, a milspec tactical flight deck (replacing the G1000), chaff/flare dispensers, and ballistic panels installed to protect from shrapnel and small arms.
No, but it can operate from totally unprepared ground, conduct COIN recon and strike, AND deliver a squad of special ops soldiers at the same time. All for a $14m flyaway cost, with an extensive civilian supply chain. We definitely don’t need anything like that.
Gawker is trying hard to rebrand into some kind of tongue-in-cheek political blog, meanwhile Giz and Jalopnik have more readers than the other blogs combined. Tyler is one of the most prolific writers on any Gawker Media blog, and he actually writes articles instead of reposting BuzzFeed lists and AP wires.

It’ll be a real carrier, but it’s being pushed by tugboats.
The Pentagon is saying they haven’t seen any indications that there will be some large scale withdrawal of Russian forces. I think you’re right, they’re pulling out any “advisors” on the ground and probably scaling back sorties.
As they should as they are routinely the best content on the entire Gawker ‘verse.
Actually, if I had my choice, Tyler would be the ONLY source on Jalopnik/Gawker/Gizmodo/io9/Sploid. Why he isn’t working for Defense One or Jane’s is beyond my mortal comprehension.
Isn’t every FA article shared to the Jalopnik main page?
It was shared to the main Jalopnik page, too.
It is on Foxtrot Alpha?
Also, the AC-208 Combat Caravan is a pretty cool aircraft.
Well this is 9 kinds of shady. Still, it would have been hilarious if they had made it to Portland.
