I will sell them this for one million dollars.

Trying to just buy technology to make force design decisions is the most Air Force thing I’ve ever seen.

Apparently they ran out of Matlock reruns again.

For what it's worth, before I get main character'd for this, I agree that there should be less support to Israel and more to Ukraine. I'm just saying the president's power to do that is very limited and limitations on presidential power are right and good.

Yes! Any party worth going to is going to make fun of you for talking to your phone, nerd.

What if, like, institutions did things?

Or it's that Congress has passed aid to Israel in appropriations acts for decades whereas support to Ukraine is mostly tied to presidential authorities, making it both more episodic and easier for the executive to change.

He wants an app that can make fun of other people like other people make fun of him because he thinks they do that because they're smart but actually it's because he's a dork.

The Marine Corps with its one PEO watching everyone else innovate by consolidation.

Every single one of these guys know damn well the CMC does not have unilateral authority over these decisions but every single one keeps writing the same article as if he does.

More is needed to turn the Marine Corps' aspirations into reality If the force is truly to have balanced lethality and battlefield resiliency, it will need more ships, missiles, and money.

Lightsabers are so hot they instantly cauterize the wound preventing loss of blood. I thought this was general knowledge?

I think this new American Revolution documentary would be much better if the producers bothered to find some actual footage of the revolution instead of just reading letters and showing paintings. Just my two cents

Someone build in to an OPLAN a MEU company landing Huey’s on that big deck, commandeering it, and sailing it to Honolulu.

Lovely lines.

She’s a looker. Weatherly, stiff and fast… very fast.

Amazing to look at this and realise there's 16th, 17th, 19th, 20th and now 21st century military "stuff" visible

This is only prejudicial to good order and discipline if Queen Ti Memenne was an E-3 or below.

Now that is a FITREP bullet.

Nov. 21, 1925: President and Mrs. Coolidge attend a football game pitting the Marines against the Army base at Fort Benning, Ga., at Washington. The Marines win, 20-0, to capture the President’s Cup.

Yes, they all tried to compensate for lack of materiel by throwing bodies at their problems.

Turns out, problems had hands.

You maniacs.

“How many HE rounds should a six gun howitzer battery fire at 60 Russian troops in the open?”

“No I’m sorry the answer is more.”

“Hey kids. I know some fun math. Who wants to learn how to call for fire?”

I’m at my kid’s elementary school Math Fun Night and none of this is fun.
