Per Travis and Sexton it's a myth that Republicans didn't show up to support Abbott. From 2018 to 2022 to today those voting for him ranged 4.4 to 4.6 million consistently. In 2018 and 2022 Abbott took about 55% of the vote and won. This time Hinajosa miraculously had 5.2 million votes. The...

Off limits places and curfews apply to the military. I used to go occasionally but wouldn't go there now.

Good article, but a correction. The T-34 was not the end all be all because it led the way in sloped armor. Several nations understood the advantages of sloped armor. The British Crusader, the Char bis-1, and yes, even the Sherman. Not to bore with the math formula, but the Sherman had 2 in...

Yes. Interestingly, the British Challenger carries only two types of rounds, sabot and HESH/HEP.

Long ago, after qualifying on pistol before deploying, the instructors took me on a tour of the agency's arms room. I shouldered several types of rifles. For me ergonomically it was the HK416 hands down. So I'm in agreement with the Ukrainians on that one.

And don't forget the canned readiness statements form the generals. Same thing before OIF. Only two division commanders that I'm aware of were truthful about the lack of men and materiel.

Yup. Even in military clinics.

If proven true, a J-5 strategic planner who does this apparently has too much time on his hands. This points to a continuing problem of too many GOs/Flags in the force. Even including the reserve components, the numbers of stars are ridiculous.

Damn!

Stationed in Germany in the late 70s. Went to the Eagles Nest and ate there and it was a good experience as I'm sure all people who went there. As a tourist attraction for all races and creeds it probably showed more disgust to the Nazi philosophy than burning it down.

Someone is pulling the strings AND they have figured out the US is shutting off the pipeline for our tax dollars via gov't agencies and Non-government Orgs. People may scoff at DOGE, but it revealed many of the pass throughs to both domestic and foreign actors. Hence, a global temper tantrum...

Liked him a lot.

In case you're interested, this episode highlights the courageous actions of Taffy 3.

In addition to CSAR and spotters, the Kingfishers were also used in the ASW role. My wife's stepdad nailed a sub with a Kingfisher off Guadalcanal.

Both OR and WA are red east of the Cascades. The being said if an ambitious DA or judge wants to grab some low hanging fruit under the state's blue canopy they might make a case against the good Samaritan. I've passed through Bend several times in my younger days; nice town.

They've been exploding on my phone for about two years. One day I received 60 calls, texts, and voicemails. I had previously set up direct to voicemail on my phone and it only makes it easier to organize which ones I'll delete. I am also using no-call, which reduced the calls but not...

They may not know exactly where the camp is, but a few paragraphs down it's clear it's west of the Cascades. which - surprise - all of these subversives and descendants have existed since the 60s, the VN War, etc. The state has allowed this to fester for academic freedom and other excuses...

One of the best anthologies I've seen. Each episode darker than the previous one. A well done movie.

Act Blue, purple haired nose ring types, and other usual suspects will be gnashing and weeping in 3, 2, 1 ....

This is a great article. IMO, the Pacific Theater has gotten short shrift in modern media and films. The largest battlefield in WWII since the war movies of the 50s, 60, and early 70s has been a somewhat rare focus of newer movies. 2005's "The Great Raid" is a rare exception though I believe...
