Yup we had a plan and table topped it in Coronado 30 years ago.

Having HEU (90% + is desired) is one thing but the ability to machine it, have the precise HE components, the casing and the fusing, etc. is quite another. HEU in a gun device has been around since 1945 but other than the current nuclear powers with their institutional technical base have them...

Correction: Texas big cities are blue. And no matter what area, the education establishment is blue to purple.

I would go to Southern Idaho (Twin Falls, Jerome) if I had my druthers. If it wasn't for our little slice of heaven I would have left ???, TX several years ago. PS. Texas is not a Red state; maybe purple.

False premise. There were several reasons for going into Iraq with WMD just one of them. If he didn't possess them, how were 5000 Kurds gassed with Sarin nerve agent? It was an issue of accountability and they were never accounted for. I would accept the History Channel's version of events...

Yup, Abu Musa. Way back when the runway there was extended, and Chinese Styx missiles were emplaced. IN Coronado we planned and exercised Navy and Marine ops against this bugger. Nowadays we wouldn't have to invade, just take the thing out.

Not sure what you mean. In the Gulf War we had the 7th Lancers deployed next door and a UK EW unit co-located with us on the Saudi-Iraqi border. The remainder of an Armored Division was with coalition on the attack. Their Navy I'm not sure about.

The RN has more admirals than warships.

IIRC when the Corvette C7s and C8s came out the agreement with the dealerships was that they couldn't sell these for over $65K (or thereabouts). I think there was a rule about flipping but I'm not sure about that. Anyway, used to work with a man who owned a Ferrari in the 60s-70s and he said...

Shot a medium sized dog about three years ago which had somehow got over the "no climb" fence and killed our ram and wounded a ewe. Once I got in it realized it was cornered and turned to face me teeth bared. One shot from my M1911A1 solved the problem. The owner was down the road and had 14...

Early Bond movies did a real good job of dubbing certain characters. In Thunderball Largo was dubbed by Robert Rietty who also dubbed many other characters in Bond movies and other films. Domino was dubbed also because of Claudine Auger's thick French accent. I've been a fan of Wild Geese...

The episode is on YouTube. I watch every morning. Just search fr Greg Gutfeld Full Episodes. They are normally time stamped.

There were no controversies as far as American armor goes in WWII. The Sherman has been dissected forwards and backwards and not found wanting even with the 75mm, which had one of the most effective HE rounds of the war. However, IMO there were two things which are controversial. 1. The HVAP...

My mental acuity has degraded also, perhaps not as bad as yours. I can still function in the classroom likely because of the teaching the same subjects though with slight differences from year to year.

Five years ago I likely caught it from a student whose father died from it. I almost followed suit. In the hospital for nine days and had respiratory failure and a heart attack. What's changed is although I am still active if I am working on chores around the property I don't necessarily...
