I know that the people who need to read this aren’t here, but here goes:

Rules of engagement aren’t for the enemy. They’re for you. They’re for your soldiers when they’re captured or wounded. They’re for your civilians when they’re in range of the enemy. They’re for your allies, to reassure.

But at this point plenty of communities have been burned by em. And they do talk to each other.

UK awards Leonardo $1.3B AW149 New Medium Helicopter contract - Breaking Defense The new AW149 fleet is desperately needed to plug a rotary capability gap left by retirement of the Puma HC2 fleet in March 2025.

How is this company doing this? They are freaking everywhere with every contract and I have yet to use a product of theirs that I would consider good.

There are still three or four options in the helicopter realm and the company that keeps winning really shouldn't be.

The threat posed by shaheds was 110% anticipated and anyone who says otherwise is either misinformed or lying

I'm aware that category apparently includes the SECDEF and chairman

Not gonna lie. I'm really proud of this metaphor. Kinda feel like I've struck gold.

You know the folks who never really left highschool and are desperate to recapture the feelings they had in those days.

Well, it gets worse. There's a whole other level.

The walking wind sock clearly showing us the political winds have shifted.

Also we are now trapped in our neighbors house because every time we try to leave the bees come after us.

We went over to the beehive area of the neighborhood because that neighbor who lives over there doesn't like bees. So we hit a hive with a rock to make it be nice, but now all the beehives are active and it's really hard to get to work and who could have possibly forseen this.

Endorsed.

REPORTER: Yesterday you told us Israel was going to strike Iran and that's why we needed to get involved. But today the president said Iran--

RUBIO: No. Were you there yesterday?

REPORTER: Yes. I asked the question

30 years ago Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club accurately predicted that men under late capitalism, empty consumers who had come to think of themselves as “the middle children of history” with no great wars to fight, would eventually prank and shitpost their way into fascism.

The plural for airplane is airplanes.
The plural for helicopter is helicopters.

English is admittedly a silly language.

But the plural for aircraft remains aircraft.

I think they think it's a race to armageddon. I don't see them playing 4d chess. I see them reacting.

the people in charge, who've been in charge for most of my 40 years of life, are the first generation to have no memory of the world before this order was imposed, and they massively underestimated the natural instability of it's existence.

I too find it hard to believe they found that many chaplains corps rejects to be COs of units.

But it is a legit belief structure within the Christian faith and that is a WAY more interesting conversation than weirdos in the service.

I don't think I presented it as a credible report.

I think I presented it to spark discussion about Apocalyptic Christianity and the word obsession they have with Israel and their ideas of the end of days.

Whether or not the admin said it out loud is quite low on my list of grievances.

Correct.

Ahem.

The plural for aircraft is aircraft.

Not aircrafts.

It is an irregular noun. You do not say "I see three aircrafts."

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Not only is that a lotta gas flying. That's a lotta things drinking a lotta gas.

This is the wildest part of the Christian nationalist cult for me.

The need to end the world. Usually reserved for the antagonist in every piece of media ever, draped with some Christian theological trappings suddenly becomes desirable?

You think your god's gonna bow to your timeline?

Enough gas flying to move the price on the ground.

You know the 82 is gonna wanna jump in.

shrek says that is a sacrifice , i am willing to make while standing next to two knight statues . Alt: Lord Faarquad says "Some of you may die, that is a sacrifice i am willing to make" while standing next to two knights in armor and speaking from a balcony.

Can't wait for that press conference.

Kinda what I mean. We have not acted as a relaible ally to them.

Not gonna lie. My first thought when I heard about the F-15s was "Which ocean is the Getty in these days?"

I'm a little surprised the Kurds will still take our call.

Trying their damnest to make the flying midair that is the osprey a solution to a problem they haven't discovered yet.
