“As such, only time will tell if the deal tentatively agreed upon today ends up actually being worth paper it is written on.”

Katanas are magnificent, works of both science and art. However, as weapons the important thing was the man who wielded it. Guys like this did little else but train with the sword from the time they were old enough to hold it. If you ever found yourself in a fight with him, your best course of action was to surrender,…

Yeah, because your wife, with her screwdriver, is totally going to chase off a home intruder when you’re gone.

If you’re dumb enough to attempt to clean a weapon that hasn’t had the bullets taken out of it, please just castrate yourself now, for the good of humanity.

But let’s take a look at that stupid statement for…

I wouldn’t say that the pilot seems ‘unimpressed’ with anything here. He’s being very matter-of-fact and businesslike about what the aircraft’s capabilities are and how he, as a pilot, utilizes them in the real world.

Wood selection helps a lot as does making sure the plane is well tuned.

Actually wood is one of the few materials where hand made is often better than machine made. Because wood is a natural product, it varies dramatically in terms of hardness, grain direction, and density. Had cut joints done by an expert will typically be better that CNC cut joints in the long run (check out the…

Everything new that the Air Force gets sucks for the first few years. This is normal. The F-22 had some teething issues, that's what the F-35 is going through.

And I’m appalled that someone would be so ignorant as to not be able to grasp the idea that that device is more of a force for good than evil. All tools can be misused. But the application of said tool is the important part of the whole. You see, a “dangerous object” is only dangerous in the hands of the irresponsible…

Keep in mind that his top rivals have all been extradited. It’s all politics. He stayed in Mexico because he had the influence and connections in government to do so. + imagine if he gets extradited and starts naming high ranking officials names that are on his payroll to US Federal prosecutors. It’s clear he made a…

Yeah? Perhaps that’s why they command a ~$10,000 pricetag.

I know, right?

How many things have you engineered to withstand ~14,000PSI?

I don’t agree with everything War Is Boring puts out there but David is a good reporter for the most part. The post that went up recently about the F-35 being a shitty BVR fighter using Airpower Australia I was not a fan of. I am going to do a post on reporting on the F-35 and all the bullshit that is out there.

I just cancelled my War is Boring premium membership because I cannot take this story any more. Tyler is less biased than David Axe and crew but both fail to recognize how much aerial warfare has changed since the 1960’s.

I am shocked, shocked that the National Political Director on President Obama’s 2012 campaign might not have been qualified to run the OPM.

They should have rejected her resignation and fired her ass instead.

What about the CIO Donna Seymour?
