I dunno. If you have a community solely based—sorry, LEAD by a capitalist, then how do you prevent the capitalist making the less fortunate as cash cows? I mean, a government (in theory!) has accountability to the people. An enterprise, only to the share/stakeholders. An enterprise, a private company, only wants one…

Well, in Indonesia, the use of coin-digging is very common to cure... whaddya call it? Influenza? Fever? Cold? We call it “masuk angin” (wind entering). There’s a very short wiki here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerokan

it's already announced officially on airforce website, take the chill pill man.

Wait. Does the flight attendant told the flight passengers that they’re removing some passengers due to allergic reaction? If I’m a clueless passenger and waited for hours for departure without any specific explanation, and then saw some people got booted off and I think they’re the reason I’m waiting, maybe I’d clap…

It’s just too bad that your (former) bosses are fighter-jock minded... and that image represented what “Air Force Life (tm)“ is for outsiders :/

Tyler, what’s your take on the (apparent) rising capabilities of drone/UAV/UAS/RPV/RPS/whatchamacallit tech in near-peer rival states (vis a vis US of A) such as Russia, China or maybe even Iran?

remember, the only “delivery service” with about one mistake per 6-8 million delivery is Dabbawalla food delivery service in Mumbai... with mostly illiterate deliverymen. Now THAT’s impressive.

thanks for the answer! so basically in many countries there’s a direct path from civilian to warrant officer... not in my country where the Warrant Officer is considered “High/Greater NCO”, not really an NCO, but not yet an officer. He/she must go either from enlisted (private) or from direct path civilian to NCO,…

hold your horses brother. It’s also appalling that Gizmodo would use such term for the article title, although the resources doesn’t use that title/headline at all!

thanks for all the answers! In my country (Indonesia), Warrant Officers are categorized as “High/Greater NCO”, which basically means they’re just one rank below a 2LT, not an officer. I think this is the point which confuses me.

I dunno, I’m not an American, so I cannot comprehend why you guys want to be “politically correct” regarding gender, races and whatnot, but have no qualms putting a video of Adzaan, call to prayer which is pretty much a holy thing for nearly 2 billion people on earth. Just saying.

AFAIK since the troops pulling out from Iraq and A’stan, I’ve seen a lot of articles/videos about the training for Full Spectrum Ops which also includes training in “other-environment-other-than-desert-climate”. I think one of the NATO large exercise (forgot which) is designed to prove that NATO members has the…

wait, the photo made me feel like the teepee is tall.

Another instance a military uses a sonic boom as a weapon is the Dutch Air Force flying low during the RMS (Republik Maluku Selatan/South Moluccas Republic) hostage taking situation in a train during 1970s.

And here is the picture of the killer and his friends, taking a selfie in the police’s office and uploading it into instagram.

Elbe that is led by the one-eyed amputee king?

I don’t think it’s hyper patriotic or hyper propaganda for the JSDF. If you read mangas/watch animes about JSDF, then you can see that JSDF is different with other nations’ armed forces. They have been ridiculed as “tax thiefs” by their own people during Cold War era. The stereotype that the ones joining JSDF are the…

tyler, you put the:
“Will the CAA give the Vulcan to the Sky Trust a break under the circumstances, especially considering the bomber will never fly again? We will keep you updated as to how the story unfolds.”
part in the quoted statement. Should be deleted.

they were paid in part by US taxpayer’s money

and then you lose your allies in facing those monsters.
