Here's a thought...Right now our forces are out of position to counter either additional moves by Russia against Europe or the Chinese going after Taiwan. Also about out of exotic ammunition and there will be a lag to restock. So, hope nothing bad happens, crossed fingers!

When businesses say that they can't hire labor, what they are actually saying is that they won't pay sufficient wages to gain and retain employees.

I'm glad I don't live real close to a major metro area. DC is closest but also downwind. You know what I mean.

Best is yet to come. Now the hackers will engage our infrastructure, critical systems, secure sites. Iranians will be joined by Russian and Chinese because, from their perspective, why not. Banks are going to close, elec grids go down, critical sites will be locked up. trump didn't think first.

We are learning a lot about despots and how they do business.

Let me tell you about end of year spending IN A RATIONAL GOVERNMENT WITH INTELLIGENT LEADERS. It's always been a use or lose situation so you generally start pushing around July to spend your monies. What you buy is durable items that you always need but don't get money for. Not bullshit spending.

All that has been accomplished is to reenergize middle eastern hate for us. And put them in the mood to bring it back here to our homeland.

Don't be so negative. We could add waterboarding and caning options and maybe stocks with a slap me sign?

Wouldn't take much to link it to a conveyer belt and automate the whole process. Heck, you and I could knock out a prototype in the garage in a couple of weekends.

You can't win a war with airpower. It can set the stage for ground forces to do so but alone, nope. The video game, war is easy, great sound bites crowd may think so but, no.

Drying down the Highway of Death almost got creamed by a C-130 landing on the highway. Oil smoke had dropped visibility to about a hundred foot ceiling. Never saw him until he dropped out of the smoke.

You could just see it in his face as his brain spun up a lying ass defense. He ran it by his internal checker and decided it was ok to spew.

Yup, and given the real-world accuracy of the shooter against a moving aerial target, not effective at all. But it greatly increases the chances of shooting another soldier.

If trump had set out to ensure the demise of the DHS by installing the dumbest MF'er in the entire world he could not come up with a more perfect match than twofirstnames.

We may be about to find out what Iran has learned about asymmetric warfare from Ukraine. Putting big ships in harms way is nuts, somebody is going to try out one of the sea-skimming hypersonic missiles against us. This is bad all around.

As a retired senior officer I can tell you I would have been furious if one of my subordinate commanders did this. Can't be widespread but any leader that did this needs stepped on.

Sorry if I wasn't clear before but those who voted for trump were ignorant fools. Those who still support him are anarchist barbarians.

It is unforgivable that Kuwait shot down three of our fighters. Somebody dropped the ball, coordination with allies is a must. Not Kuwaits fault, it was ours. The perils of thinking you can go it alone. FDT
