You are an idiot.

That is the most ridiculous comment on this article. We LAVISH the Air Force (as well as the Navy and Marine Corps) in money for armed aircraft of all types. I invite you to show me this ‘Ever decreasing funding’ you speak of, because it certainly isnt here in the US.

I havent seen any reputable numbers regarding the F-35 that have them costing less than $150 million a piece (in aggregate) and every governmental document dealing with the plane (with mention of cost as a by-product) has suggested prices higher than that on our last few years of F-35 acquisition.

I knew Dex both during his heyday with Washington (my first real job was as a masonry laborer, building his house) and years later after everything was gone. For someone with his talent, it was and is a sad story of exploitation and how sports can destroy those who are successful as well as those who dont make the big…

Isnt Camilla Parker-Bowles married to Prince Charles?

This woman didnt ‘lose’ a child, she knew right where her daughter was while murdering her.

Wow, a racist asshole AND a cop sucker, you parents must be proud...

F*ck the asshole cop and f*ck you for defending this piece of shit. Police officers do not ‘think quickly’, they are relatively slow thinkers overall and ‘thinking fast’ is only something they do when looking for an excuse to cover up when they get busted for doing illegal shit.

You are an idiot.

It isnt as easy as many think, but the issue is that a ‘dirty bomb’ is pretty much useless. If you wanted to cause deaths and panic with radioactive material, you would be far more successful contaminating a bottling or canning operation with something like Iodine, Phosphorus or Polonium, short half-life and high…

The idea of a ‘dirty bomb’ is more scary on a imaginary level that it would be in reality. Radioactive material is mostly only dangerous when inhaled or ingested. Spiking a few office water coolers with strontium, polonium or even radioactive phosphorus would be a far greater disaster than using most any radionuclide…

Timothy McVeigh’s act of terrorism was committed by a well trained and intelligent combat infantryman who had applied to be trained as a Special Forces member. His plan was simple, the materials for assembling his bomb were readily available, his target was fairly vulnerable in nature and the execution of the plan was…

Your comment is straight up bullshit.

Almost everything you say is complete and utter bullshit that isnt worth reading or considering.

Sounds like you are speaking about places like Georgia, Alabama, Arizona and most recently North Carolina, rather than Iraq or Syria...

The composition of a ‘Special Forces ‘A’ team, according to the Army ‘nursery rhyme’ that was in use during the time I was on Ft Bragg:

What is going on has little to do with the upcoming ‘Battle of Mosul’, the real battle is being fought now in plain sight. The important objective isnt the city, but the dam and the need to recommence grouting operations before ~1 million Iraqis potentially die in a massive flood wave that is expected to be 12 meters…

Korea, excellent call, for the Germans it would be 1970-80s German Army. Japan is only now getting into the military game in a tentative way and that is wholly Japanese driven. Israel might be another example, although it would be presumptuous to think we trained them. We equipped the Israels and they took it from…

Here is the funny thing, this ship had a ‘program cost of well over $10 billion and it is going to go up and for around 60% of that cost we built the last nuclear powered Nimitz Class carrier (the Bush). A real carrier, rather than a design poorly suited for aircraft operations adapted toward that end, would have…

Virginia is the king of executions in the US. Until recently they were #2 in total number and the Virginia death row is very small for its throughput.
