What is that monstrosity? It looks like a self propelled section of a bridge with an observatory welded to the top of it.

The problem with the principle of Darwinism is that many times the actions of these people kill the wrong person, e.g.: innocent bystanders, etc. We really don’t know enough about the passenger. The driver definitely won the award.

There is a guy down in Florida that gives rides in a Mig for $10K/hr.

Thanks for posting this. I feel I finally understand more about our experience there.

We were a completely different nation in the ‘40s. 1/3rd of households didn’t even have indoor plumbing. Today, we are totally reliant (and soft and whiny) on constant communication. Could we do it? Yes, but I don’t think it would be nearly as easy as you imply.

What are you referring to?

Strange... I seem to recall stories about Finland and Sweden considering joining NATO and the Baltic states requesting US presence in exercises. Maybe they don’t show up in the Russian press?

The fact is that NATO budgets were crashing before the invasion of Ukraine and annexation of Crimea. The US was busy dealing with the Middle East chaos and pivoting to Asia. Somebody in the Russian government seemed to think it was a good idea to take advantage of that and retaliate for a perceived putsch in the…

William, I am curious. While I agree with everything you say here, I wonder about the tone... I am not sure why you need the tone. I have read several of your posts and you are obviously intelligent. But, I can’t tell if you are normally an angry, ‘I am going to stick a verbal finger in your eye while I tell you’…

We must add women to the draft. Then there should be a constitutional amendment that no troops (with the exception of SOF) can be in harm’s way without having a draft. Despite the fact that our professional military hates conscripts, it is the only way to ensure the Bushs, Cheneys and Rumsfelds will not send out…

I love this thing. I wish somebody would update it. I think an updated one would sell like hotcakes.

The part in the last bedroom/bathroom where there are two marines in the bathroom and the guys in the bedroom are clearing out the closets and fortunately don’t fire because if they had, definitely some friendly fire there.

What it lacks in maneuverability, it makes up with unsinkability.

Jeez, I am going skydiving next weekend for the first time. I shouldn’t have watched. NO MORE YOUTUBE FOR ME!

Thank you for this, it was great.

Let’s hope they never fire it past 89 degrees. Those 90 degree shots can be a real bitch.

I don’t know that the Russians could have given us a bigger compliment.

I always find the uniforms from the time period just previous to and during my childhood to be the coolest. I wonder if others have the same experience. I definitely wanted to be a soldier as a kid.

Thanks for this. Great video, I learned a lot.

LOL, I never got bards as well. That was funny.
