I threw away my black nikes after watching this. Great car but who in the hell dressed this guy?! Pajamas and a jacket with a button up and cuffed joggers with nike SB’s...you ruined SB’s for everyone just now.

I was happy until i read studded tires.

We all speculated this happening. Its a good thing lockheed and raytheon are improving their current missile systems aboard the Aegis and ticonderoga classes. My money is on the SM 3 recieving the upgrades to make their systems null and void. Of anyone has taken a gander at the specs vs the carrier killer the sm3 is…

Coalition a definition. The U.S. does everything; everyone else acts like they are doing something. Always a support role and they complain about it. See also NATO coalition; desert storm, operation iraqi freedom, and operation afghani freedom.

The home town f15s that rattle my windows are rattling windiws elsewhere, hell yeah! Though we only have ten f15s here.

This is also excluding our neighbors to the north EH?! The canadians have winter warfare down to a science.

As a born alaskan i know we deploy and do exercises all the time around fairbanks where it gets just as cold. We have elmendorf which experiences similar conditions as up north. We have an answer to the russians if they come across. This theoretical war though will be fought farther south where we both have equal…

It looks like an f22 and an f18 made sweet love and out popped the x2.

Yea though according to business insider, today, all of their refineries have been on overload and they are prepping to dump it all on the market.

Yes, they could be. I watch the markets as well and currently it doesnt look like they will be able to afford to put together a force similar to ours. The islands they are building are a good compromise they can arm them with all kinds of ground to air systems and an air force, but they lack mobility. China also as…

China wants to have international force projection in the next twenty years, when we do things like this I just dont see it happening the way they want. They have to steal everything they build as far as aircraft, and cant even refit an already built carrier to go nuclear within the span of a decade. The way we…

Genltlemen, you do realize the last time Iran had sailors captured, they paraded them around and it took two weeks to get them back, right? This was a timely and orderly return of our men from a nation we view as hostile to most of, if not all our resolutions for the middle east. I know you’ll blame obama for not…

We could also retaliate in a stealthy war. A little cyber warfare here, a drop in oil there.

Anyone else take note of the range and resolution on that camera?! 11,000yds and pretty damn clear.

Dude I am like one of three people here saying they should get a medal. I am only applying the context of not everyone gets one, it shouldn’t hold the same level of prestige as many of the medals earned by being on the ground in actual combat, and in no way should the drone guys be shit on for doing a good job for…

Yay a base we can sit and watch via satellite. Not really worried about it. These are almost certainly because they lack the ability to build competant carriers of any sort. An island is easy when compared to a nuclear super carrier and the ability to keep it armed and at sea.

Come on, fighter pilots and bomber pilots dont whine about it. 22 a day is recognized by everyone who is a vet, dont be an ass. He is simply stating close quarters combat and point and click are very different. Having been army, but with no deployments, I can say from I know I’d rather be at my computer getting…

Correct, on the purple heart comment. There is also the “V” device which is just as good to many.

Welcome to the military. They gave a first sergeant an army accommodation medal for neing offended on Facebook, that was a real laugh. I am simply putting forth the idea of recognizing the top pilots of the program. I don’t know the intricacies of piloting a drone day in and day out, but one can assume someone has…

I for one think they should be awarded something. A distuingished drone medal of some sort makes sense. If they are constantly putting war heads on foreheads and keeping people alive that shit should be recognized, stop short selling guys doing their jobs well.
