Can someone explain why this comment has so many stars?

The super-laser having community is directly comparable to vegans and atheists. Everyone needs to know within minutes of you entering the room.

The only calming part about this whole laser tech is that the last time the United States military tried to make killer lasers, they mounted them on planes and it was a complete failure...

“Yes. And based on this information, we can only assume that this means it is constructed entirely of unobtanium, with a cloaking device, a nuclear gravitron death ray, and the ability to dive underwater.”

Dear world powers. We see you guys driving around in Ukraine and building islands in the South China Sea. So we’re gonna build a shitload of F-35's that we’ll sell to every country you’re fucking with. And then we’re gonna build a new fleet of undetectable nuclear-capable stealth bombers that you’ll never see coming.…

Federal scientist here. The raw data we collect has to go through a time-consuming check/approval process before it’s fit for public consumption because people rely on that data for recreation/agriculture/infrastructure/construction. Our data is also collected and transmitted via telemetry, which like NASA’s, isn’t…

Jordan has been a very reliable western ally for a very long time. King Abdullah’s government is about as stable as it gets for the region, and they’re a downright progressive society compared to Saudi Arabia or even Kuwait. We were in absolutely zero danger of Jordan ‘easily turning on us’.

It should be pointed out that both the SPY-1 AEGIS radar system and the Mk 41 Vertical Launch System are scalable by design - which means a San Antonio LPD could receive either system as less capable than what’s typically on a destroyer. There’s SPY-1A,B,C,D, etc., and while some letter designations represent…

Probably the rescue party.

If we could only get that quality commentary in GTA though, that would be excellent.

Well they weren’t using turn signals, so I see why reporters thought it was a BMW. Can’t blame them.

Its easy to determine if the car is a BMW, the driver won’t use the turn signal.

Vertical stab is kinda out of reach unless he was tossed out.

Ugh. The ESG has many options. A MEU or MEB is carried in 3-6 gator ships. LHD, LPD, LSD. AAVs LCACs even LCM. That’s the point. Some of the MAGTF can conduct vertical envelopment while others cross the shore. Embarked MAGTFs are not a one trick pony.

I think the Nimitz is in 1941.

Agreed. F22 for current but I am a f14 fan. But I can imagine a fleet of Ospreys dropping 20 Moab on Isis

Yep that’s what the cool kids call it... It is so much easier to hate unknowingly if you use that silly name... Lockheed reminds people of excellence in engineering and innovation all through the Cold War...

Dude... You’re right why can’t it just slaughter a f-16 who isn’t dogfighting with it...
