    l guess we'll find out eventually.

    DIA employee offers to sell United States information to foreign entity

    Yup, another traitor working in IT. Snowden was in the same job at PACOM and made this guy look like a piker in comparison. Laptops, thumb drives remived and then defecting to Russia. Yet, some view St. Edward as a hero because he proved the IC was spying on US citizens, something William...

    A lack of respect....

    Hitting the kid with her fist and a water bottle and then slamming his head up against the airplane window is not the same as being spanked or grounded for disciplinary reasons. I think what she did is a bit much. BTW, we assume the woman was his mom, but authorities aren't saying what the...

    Para glider taken up by vortex into the clouds

    Ok, I'm not 100% digital knowledgeable. How do you get distance and 270 degree (??) shots from a gondola?

    Muhammad Ali to order an aircraft carrier

    Well, his name makes sense considering Indonesia is the world's largest Muslim country.

    Got my insurance bill

    I'm with you. Life long member of USAA and I'm tired of the increases though they are more slick in doing it with smaller increments. I need to get serious about searching for someone else.

    F-15E Spotted Packing Big Laser-Guided Rocket Arsenal Ideal For Drone Hunting

    Yup. Great capability with the F15, but a defensive reaction instead of offensive action to take out their bases and logistics. We have been doing that but have learned very little from the sustained offensive actions of the Gulf War.

    On This Date In 1934

    The Highwaymen on Netflix is a good show about this.

    Army has new strength test - can you do it.

    At 72 I would have a tough time of it. My physical regimen consists of strictly manual labor and it's enough for some of my students to say I look pretty ripped. Also, I understand the culture has changed. We have several generations of young people accustomed to going to the gym, but here...

    Australia to tax unrealized gains

    I see Great Britain's penal colony has turned out to be a real basket case. Do us all a favor and just keep it on the island.

    Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft: Black Hawk Killer?

    Nice. At this point the best I could do is offer a pig, a cord of wood and a draft choice to be named later. :rolleyes:

    Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft: Black Hawk Killer?

    Used to watch these birds at Graf spot for fast movers dropping 500 pounders. They'd use rockets to mark the targets.

    Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft: Black Hawk Killer?

    The Marines had OV-10 Broncos self deploy from the US West Coast across the Pacific, Hawaii, Philippines, etc. to Saudi Arabia during Desert Shield. If you have the stops planned and the logistics many types of aircraft can self deploy. So I don't understand the big deal of the V-280 being able...

    Small Arms of the Cold War: Battle Rifles of NATO - Book

    As a civilian I accompanied patrols doing the weapons and ammo storage site inspections. As an amateur historian they were appreciative of my knowledge of IDing WWII US 76mm and 90mm ammo for their M18 Hellcats and M36 Jackson tank destroyers. You might have seen them, too.

    Is There Hope For Blue Cities and States? Maybe.

    It's funny you mention kind of a sandwich effect. I was born and raised in WA and the Californians coming north in the 60s and 70s debating weather to stop in OR or WA were basically told in OR to keep moving north. The first thing to get wrecked in WA was the housing market. After making a...

    Is There Hope For Blue Cities and States? Maybe.

    Good ole' Rolling Stone bemoaning a condition they helped glorify for decades. I wish it would shut its pie hole. Thank goodness I visited and went to school in these West Coast poop holes before they imploded. My solution would never be adopted which is return to city states. Other than...

    Another Reason To Never Fly Again

    I haven't flown since Dec 2017. Ironically, the best airlines IMO are from places where they don't promote our typical freedoms and cultural norms, such as Qatari, Emirates, Saudia, Etihad, etc. An honorable mention goes to British Airways because at the time, they were still flying 747s which...

    Mother of Middle School Son Helps Him Prepare To Shoot Up His School.

    Yeah, similar to the armorer on the set of Rust.

    President Trump Reportedly Set to Accept Boeing 747-8 Gift From Qatar

    Yup. Post Gulf War I was assigned with a man who was the ops officer of one of the 105mm M1 battalions. He told me after the cease fire they towed three relatively intact T-72s at 1000m, 2000m and 3000m from the M1 and all presenting the front slope. At 1000m the 105 had an in-out; through...

    President Trump Reportedly Set to Accept Boeing 747-8 Gift From Qatar

    And that same Islamic ..er..whatever is host to a B-1B base. And yes the future AF 1 goes to the AF, not Trump personally. It goes to Kelly in San Antonio for refit and upgrades.
