Was doing contract work for Hickam AFB and was staying downtown Honolulu due to return home the next day. Wife called me at 4AM and told me about the attack and to turn the TV on. Stunned. As soon as the sun rose I went out to the beach and the fleet left Pearl ASAP; they weren't going to get...

Almost forgot. Someone / something filmed this encounter. Miraculously, his reticle just happened to be pointing right at the object. Was this the laser designator? Satellite? A squirrel with optics?

Since the UFO craze started (in 1947 BTW near Mt. Rainier) we've been obsessed with "we are not alone." I would recommend the movie Ad Astra with Brad Pitt which asks us to consider that we are alone, or the first, or maybe the last.

Thanks, did not know that, but since it was behind a wall of secrecy forgive my dated knowledge.

Not having a heat warhead defeats the purpose of the Hellfire, unless it was a practice round. We had three anti-tank missiles in the day which had inert practice warheads on them for training. To my knowledge the reason Hellfire and other AT missiles are HEAT is because they don't achieve the...

Video doesn't show me squat. A Hellfire would detonate on impact not bounce off. Heck, I faked a real good photo of a UFO when I was 11. Another "look! a squirrel" moment.

His mom said he is mentally ill. Sorry, if I was the judge or the PD I want to see the medical records. Too much speculation especially in cases of mental issues. Cops or the public encountering someone waving a firearm around aren't mind readers.

Exactly! I've been warning about this very thing for a while now. The "who decides?" concept is key.

RIP. He was also in Die Hard with a Vengeance.

Upon further examination, Thorogood is from Delaware, not New Jersey.

Should have put a disclaimer. I don't know if these are correct.

Even though not in my home state Paul Revere and the Raiders was a big deal in our parts. Rarely hear their songs played any more but for pop/rock I thought they were pretty good.

Just a word about the environment in Houston. I don't know about the particular neighborhood, but Houston has long been known as a cesspool by other Texans, and this was before all the summers of love. Houston ISD was taken over by the state a few years ago because it was such a basket case...

Not to worry. Texas schools are social services centers which are expected to sub for parents and counseling centers. The left, of course, loves this.

I am not trying to minimize the problem and you're likely right about it being greater than 4%. As before, I'm just being cautious about going down the mental health road.

We just finished mental health refresher training at our school. Per the instructor only 4% of those committing criminal violent acts have mental health issues. Yet, $$$ and training for mental health are saturating our institutions, not to mention influencing public policy. I said before...

Since the 37mm on the jeep didn't fare too well, the TD Board still wanted a mobile AT gun and this is how the M8 armored car got its start. Being outclassed very quickly, it transitioned to the recon role where it performed well if the terrain was not too rugged.

Agree, just OK. Am pretty familiar with the production. One myth is that the comedy genius, Bill Murray, developed all of the specialized drill routines. Sorry, this was largely the drill sergeants themselves who did that. Murray frequently wandered off somewhere for days then returned from...

According to the link provided in the article, I don't see how O2 saturation into the blood plasma contributes that much to holding his breath for extended periods. The report at the link states blood plasma can hold 2% O2 versus 98% in the hemoglobin of the red blood cells. In my mind...
