    another stupid problem at white house

    I read it, and my question concerns the photo. Behind Marine One landing in Ireland are Chinooks from the Combat Avn Bde of the 1st Armored Division which is based at Ft. Bliss. They couldn't find any Chinooks closer? Are they deployed for an exercise in Ireland??? Just found it interesting.

    Campus disorder

    I managed to carry the same P-38 since before the Gulf War on my dog tag chain until shortly after 9-11. Even though I was retired, I still traveled a lot and shortly after 9-11 TSA confiscated it at the security post before I boarded. I guess they thought it was a mini-box cutter. :rolleyes:

    Campus disorder

    Relatively simple solution to smoke out the leadership. Turn the surveillance state against them. Security cameras and facial recognition software can ID the big wigs and foreign agitators. Follow them to their nest and round them up. Better, trace the funding to the source. After 9-11...

    Homeowners policy

    You said it directly and correctly. It's poor business model banked on a growing population of officers and warrant officers and then included not only enlisted, but ex-spouses and ex-step kids, et al. Wha???? It started as a small association with a modest building across from Fifth Army HQ...

    Homeowners policy

    Putting USAA in with Chubb, etc. is comparing apples and oranges. USAA has a client pool that is generally lower in risk for not only automobile insurance but homeowners also. That has been changing over the years since USAA has adopted a continuous growth model for decades and not for the...

    For The Texans Amoung Us

    Around 2007-2008 we and the Israelis found out that the modern equivalent of shooting the **** was Palestinians using HIV/AIDS infected suicide bombers in the hopes that victims on the periphery of the kill zone would end up with embedded tissue fragments and become infected as a result. Nice...

    The M1 Carbine: The Most Prolific American Small Arm of World War Two

    First semi-auto military rifle I fired as a kid. Dad's Marine buddy visited and we went and fired it. Really liked it. In addition to the many foreign armies he mentioned, French paratroopers in Indochina loved the carbine and used it extensively.

    BOOM BOOM out go the lights

    You are essentially correct, but first some history. As Talyn has mentioned before, the Russians have their own design philosophy which has been praised for no good reason. The myth of the T-34 as being the best tank of WWII is just that, a myth. No turret basket/fighting compartment, poorly...

    Israel Strikes Back (Updated)

    Read this carefully: "...There was also talk on social media of jets being heard flying very low in Eastern Syria and Iranian-related targets struck in Iraq, ..." Our long a fruitless capture the flag exercise in Iraq did nothing to put Iran in a box, though it should have if we had actually...
