I agree they didn't pop out recently, but she may have revealed AARs and lessons learned which would be incorporated in future manuals, but we'll find out more hopefully. You reminded me of a part in Blackhawk Down where the Delta guys went in riding on seats extending out from the sides of...

Remember the old proverb that cease fires just allow the enemy to reload? Well, we can a lot and they can a little bit. I haven't all the reports posted here, but I'd wager the cease fire allowed us to rest and re-cock and start the targeting process to clear the Strait. Don't laugh, but I...

Actually, starting about the mid-80s there were many FMs which were placed on FOUO designation. Unless one gets a bootleg copy, going through wickets is needed to get copies of them now. Some are publicly available, but you now have to buy them. Others on DTIC or Confidential TTPs need...

The perp's lawyer citing youtube and podcasts by former operators is crap. If youtube was a valid testimony of these guys and they spilled the beans it would have been a target rich environment for the FBI. As it is, probably 75% is BS. She is not a whistle blower or a leaker, she just has an...

Jack Northrop was a genius and so were American engineers. Unfortunately, too much credit is given to the HO-229 project as "inspiration" for our flying wing.

Apparently, it doesn't dawn on the onlookers a few meters from the punk firing the rifle that they might be next.

P.S. Charles Lindbergh's one and only enemy kill in WWII came while flying a P-38 while assisting a Lightning group in the Pacific. IIRC it was a Japanese cargo plane.

Just ran across this short bit on Red Bull's restoration of the P-38, my favorite WWII aircraft. The P-51 gets much deserved attention, but keep in mind our top two aces in WWII flew P-38s.

Hitler did this as a last resort because he was running out of men due to combat losses and capture. I don't see Iran suffering such massive losses even with an intense air and naval campaign. Last time I checked the Basij had 1 million over what the regular army had. Of course, they may be...

As the article says, our remaining F-14s were shredded at the big boneyard, but not before selected avionics and othe components were removed and secured. How secured I don't know. There were active parties in L.A. for example which were trying to acquire said parts on the down-low. How...

Kristi Noem's firing was because of rampant self promotion and as we now know a "blackmailable" husband with a seedy past/present. A cabinet secretary should not be in the habit of constantly showing up at field operations. Tulsi did this recently for no other reason to be on video talking on...

A co-worker of my Dad's played baseball with Chuck Connors in the day. He was very tall like Connors. I also watched the Rifleman every chance I got.

Agree. I thought she would stay the term, but as you say, things work differently in the Imperial City.

It's because she's the last woman standing. In fact, I think Trump picked the female triumvirate to at least initially deflect criticism from the left about them implementing his policies. The ODNI itself is a superfluous organization created out of the post-911 chaos and finger pointing. I...

I forgot to mention Megyn Kelly says "no" to firing her, therefore, fire her immediately.

She should be next for several reasons, many having to do with her ludicrous self promotion on substack. and the fact she has zero. zip, nada experience in the intel field. Nice looking surfer babe though.

Watched the launch. Brought back memories of watching all the launches from Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo. Godspeed!

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.
