How do you defend against a two-mile shot in the middle of battle?

The 30mm is IMO practically obsolete.

It was gunned up to be a genuine tank buster, and it was right up through the T-62. But even a 30mm cannon is a very, very small shell compared to tank armor. When the Warthog threat materialized, new Soviet MBT’s simply increased engine & turret top armor by ~10mm or so, and…

Mostly this isn’t news, cause unless we execute a warplan of “Moscow By Christmas” where in the world will we be fighting T-14's with such unbroken lines of sight as the Russian Steppe?

The best part was it brought out the best in the community.
He sowed reason & reaped it.
FA now sows partisan hand grenades... and reaps the same.

What exactly is recorded history for Phoenix?

Tyler Rogoway’s Foxtrot Alpha was an objective, and well-written sub-blog. He took care in what he wrote and didn’t print white noise.

Iiii.... don’t think you got the joke.

I just came here to shit on Toyota: huehuehue

No serious article about the Qatari-US relationship would be so remiss as to fail to mention Al Udeid Air Base and the role Qatar functions as the logistics hub supporting all of our Southwest Asian operations.
We’re not in a great position to exactly pull out of the country and shun them into perpetuity.

This article…

This. If China wants an international public relations victory, they should include a woman.

If that’s an oblique reference to my quip about ‘brains being blown out,’ realize that the proper understanding/reading comprehension of my post realizes I took an assiduously non-declarative stance on the actual PROSPECTS of say, Donald Trump being assassinated, or taken a shot at. That’s what the “if” means.

But…

It’s because she ran for POTUS.
As far as tiebreakers go, POTUS > VPotus. If we don’t live in especially interesting times, you can bank on a President not expiring/brains being blown out during his/her/attack helicopter’s 4-8 years.

Take your false dilemma — my outrage reserved for HRC “because woman or democrat” —…

At that rate he’s going though he’s gonna be a spittin’ image of Beric Dondarrion 0_0

I suppose I’ll point out the elephant in the room:
 
any veteran guilty of a FRACTION of what HRC committed with her email server, mishandling of classified information & self-professed ignorance of classification procedures would be in Ft. Leavenworth, getting pounded in the ass.

Look up the numbers yourself.
Short version though: in typical post-9/11 years, we deficit spend (by a scant few million, tens of million) before a penny goes to the DoD.

Stated differently: legally-mandated entitlements (social security,medicare, etc.) are the single…

Drones aren’t magic.

By way of gentle reminder, the leader of Iran isn’t the President, like our old buddy Mahmoud Ahmadinejad... spelling.

About as impartial as CNN, NBC/MSNBC, CBS, ABC, Mother Jones, Huffington Post, Buzzfeed, Gawker-verse, MTV, et. al., I admit.

Please direct me towards legitimately non-partisan news media these days.
