Too bad it was yesterday, or I might be arsed to do one of these for DeSean’s “No one can cover me!” moment

Wait, did he say the F-35 can only carry internal stores right now? So they are gonna be slaves to tanker gas. The Marines probably are lighter in the KC135 department than some other branches, or is that not the case.

Yes but does he still have those jelly rolls on the back of his head? How can you give us a “where are they now” about Vin Baker and not update us on his freakish headfat?

Gawd, do they ever bother calling traveling anymore?

Ding, this is the moment when temporary penis reduction reaches 100%.

Help me, I’m thinking of a different gunship. This one had some sort of gnarly large bore weapon mounted perpendicular and laid along the top of a wing strut. Or was it just something I read in a crappy novel?

Boo. Fucking ametuers. You gotta read this shit like it’s the goddamn kabbalah, line it up in charts and add up the first word of the... I guess I should stop before I reveal too much.

I’ve seen video of a Phalanx sinking a Somali pirate skiff, so there’s at least some antisurface capabilities there.

“If anything, this failed test just goes to show how a modern U.S. Navy surface combatant can take an indirect hit and keep on functioning.”

Boeing never misses a chance to slap a coat of paint and some sensors on something civilian and sell it to the DoD. This is obviously an upscaled Hexbug.

Yeah but those 10am east coast games are a bitch.

Quibble, the US was not at war when the USS Cole was carbombed boatbombed.

Speaking purely from abstract reasoning alone, it is just as valuable to do something that hurts the enemy’s capabilities as it is to perform an action which directly benefits you.

I love how “multi-role” gets plastered all over everything these days. Yes, kids, it’s a multi-role interceptor. It’s a stealth tug. Put a guy in the bow with an SA-7 and it can operate outside friendly air cover, and by 2027 it will accept the Small Diameter Bomb.

The “name stuff for other players” mechanic is not new. I somehow wound up with a copy of Dynasty Warriors 7 Empires. Custom characters that you or other players make will wind up populating other player’s new game as generic officers.

So your ship is a mk IV Colonial Viper. Just sayin’.

Ooh! Ooh! I speak grafitti! That says.....uh....left wall of men’s room.

Hopefully they get handed lock, stock, and airframe over to the marines, yeah? Would seem so wasteful to chuck an entire fleet of EW planes into the desert to die.

I simply CANT Z what my neighbor has to do with this, you leave him alone and go pick on the F-35 some more.

Interesting. Was Cruise already set to make this movie? this article says he was set to film a live-action adaptation of Yukikaze, an anime whose premis is watch humans dogfight AIs.
