You can do anything you want on your last flight, right?

Or, maybe she was tired of being stationed in bumfuck Greenland, and wanted to cut the tour short. 🤷‍♀️

I agree, but I don't think she cared and went out on her shield. I'm not advocating that AD mil folks should be political (if you do, this is what happens), but goddam it would be nice if congress critters could show a backbone like her, and speak out a tad.

Can you imagine speaking like this at a staff or DH meeting at the squadron level? Embarrassing.

If he's not trolling, then I'm guessing he's an adherent of Curtis Yarvin. based off his posts

Had a Marine test pilot doing a roadshow going around briefing squadrons about what test pilot life was like to encourage people to apply, and he began his brief with "Good afternoon, I'm Captain xxx. Before I get into my brief, I just wanted to let y'all know I was recently diagnosed with a...

I've been 50/50 on the trolling option for the dude. Hard to tell. Oh well, either way it's not productive.

Are there really current or former military officers that follow Jack Posobiec? Surely not?

Some of these folks make horrible financial decisions too. I mean you don't need to have the latest big pickup truck and a wave runner...but also be anti-expertise and blaming Latin-Americans for your problems. Didn't Vance write a book about this?

I can't remember @Flash was that prior to him cancelling a visit to a US cemetery bc it was raining? Doesn't matter bc I think Gen Kelly said Trump called them suckers and losers.

Can our resident historians on this site do a fact check on this speech above? Cornwallis of Yorktown?

Scale and scope I guess @Renegade One, neither one is optimal.

so lethal...It's embarrassing that any amount of man hours is being purposed for this. I'm consistent on this bc I hated every dog and pony show I was ever involved with, while in. A flyover is obviously much easier to coordinate, but a NK/Soviet style parade is fucking stupid.

It's actually funny watching his attempts to read this soaring rhetoric off the teleprompter. His speechwriters suck. To Trump's credit (not really), he plows through with a fake it until you make it attitude, and never admits defeat. Shame is not on the bingo card.

Wasn't he talked out of doing this during his first term? Tanks tearing up DC streets and shit. Instead, he opted for a massive flyover where he talked about the Continental Army seizing the airports.

I get chills down my spine imagining being the sad sack in the Pentagon being put in charge of this clusterfuck event.

Woke bullshit...just fucking sell it to Kid Rock and get on with it.

Luckily, I've never known a time where I had to consume squirrel meat or use an outhouse like my dad did...But, can you get squirrel wings boneless? Trying to get my depression game up to speed.

I see the markets are looking good for Monday. :rolleyes: https://x.com/SpencerHakimian/status/1909071459378414079

It's a luxury to have one of these beautiful souls on any det. The dude that is not offended to go along with what the group is doing but just doesn't drink. 😃

Despite your troll, this is how allied nations respect fellow warriors.

Very moving scene from our NATO ally Lithuania...treating this mishap with full dignity and respect.

I'm getting tired of all this winning! Make it stop, please! It's too quick.

On the bright side. I guess Bud Light is no longer woke, and maybe that 1 trans swimmer can't compete again. Yay! for the federal government.. :rolleyes:

And will be near impossible to reverse. Whether you're talking the tariffs, or shitting on/threatening our allies. Post WW2 world order has been kneecapped in 70 days, and he said he would do it. I guess we're in the FO stage of FAFO now.

From the history of what is now MCAS Miramar. https://militarymuseum.org/MCASMiramar.html During the 1920's, civilian and military aircraft utilized the former parade ground as a landing field. San Diego's aircraft manufacturers also used the facility for flight testing - including Charles...

Interesting analysis on how these tariff numbers came about, along with the shitty staff work, and a fundamental ignorance of basic economics. https://x.com/JamesSurowiecki/status/1907559189234196942

All he had to do was sit back and shitpost about culture war stuff in the wee hours of morning, and nothing more. https://www.cnn.com/markets/premarkets

Apparently, the US today announced tariffs on a few uninhabited islands populated by penguins...and also Diego Garcia. Genius level staff work.

Good whataboutism comrade. 'weeks on end' is not accurate, and I don't think anyone on here supports what Austin did. I guess your suggesting on your next point that Milley is a traitor?...but your premise is NewsMax level BS. Do better.

At least as a company commander he couldn't hire his unqualified younger brother to work at his HQ, or have his wife sit in on sensitive meetings with fellow NATO company commanders, I'm guessing...Or not get fired for texting out upcoming attacks on the enemy.

WRT bats here's a pic of a bottle bat used by HOF'er Jimmie Foxx, with a description. A "bottle bat" is a term used to describe a baseball bat, particularly one that is heavy and thick, designed to resemble a bottle. Historical Context: The term "bottle bat" likely originated in the early...

haha...dick ☺️

After the 2nd pitch, I think you have to fake a hammy pull or something, right?

The head of our IC community is busy posting shit like this, while she's not sitting in on Signal chats. Kinzinger's response is funny. https://x.com/DNIGabbard/status/1905756922332258711 https://x.com/AdamKinzinger/status/1905806741465444688

Vance speaks like a LCpl that was smart enough to get into law school. We're doing nothing but making Canadians and Europeans hate us right now. Zero harsh rhetoric towards Putin. Infuriating TBH.

No. It was embarrassing. Originally billed as some kind of cultural visit to the capital by Usha Vance, it transitioned to a visit to a US base with her husband...the rhetoric just continues to alienate us from allied populations.

From what I remember Corpus course rules were way simpler than Whiting...so don't beat yourself over the head...7600 on your PA solo would be epic though.

Well, this makes me more fucking comfortable...good job Pam and Laura! https://x.com/Acyn/status/1905398601200927076

IIRC, it was "wheeee!....OK, fuck let's not do that again". Then a hyper-focus on PEL and HAPL/LAPL procedures. 😄

I did one loop and decided that was enough, then a few aileron rolls and shut it down...then started hawking gauges and making sure I stayed in my working area.

One more...I'll stop now.

ICE Barbie is my favorite character this season,

Yes, FBI director Patel should open up an immediate investigation into violations of the Espionage Act...Then, possibly AG Bondi should appoint a special counsel.... :rolleyes:

It's JV the fact that the chain was in existence, not the fact that the Atlantic editor was ham-fistedly brought in. I'm sure you'd agree. How many other Signal groups are/were out there among our senior leaders? The fucking DNI was overseas participating in the chat, and can't remember if she...

Honestly, don't know much about Tustin except that some of the senior pilots I served with at Miramar spoke very positively of it.

This panel is analogous to this thread discussion. Tim blows up Dave Rubin at the end.

Kind of tldr, but hilarious panel with whataboutism and folks paid by Russians...on Piers Morgan's show.

That is interesting, bc he's a big player in the bro culture (I do like some Barstool stuff). I think it points to a few ppl getting fired. Maybe waiting on the Joe Rogan input, I guess. :rolleyes:
