  1. ok, see you next weekend Dad.
  2. I'm afraid he did. I do not understand his decision there. He must have a plan.
  3. why? Because his grandfather ran for POTUS? Communist Party. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Browder
  4. Because they risk their lives, they can do or say whatever with very few consequences. Paid adminisrative leave is a nightmare.
  5. clothes line weather. I'm not paying my gas dryer to battle my AC..
  6. Not discounting TR. I have him in the Final Four after beating Truman. TR is a honeybadger. But he is going to get cut down from leg kicks. He gives up too much to the taller POTUS contenders. Ford has great feet for his size, quick take down, and ground/pound game. Lost a close decision to US Grant in the semis. Clinton Trump undercard did not go to the judges. Bush was DQ for pocket sand in his dad's face.
  7. Lincoln with the reach advantage standing up, and a strong butterfly guard on his back. It would be Lincoln and Washinton in the finals. I can't discount Washington's rear naked choke and arm bar game. Don't know who would win between those two.
  8. WWJD to this piece of shit excuse for a human being?
  9. His great grandfather died at that Kennebunkport compound 100 years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Davis_Walker
  10. http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.7249/mg166centaf.13?refreqid=excelsior%3A405f44d221d172f7374a662c7fd676d5&seq=4#page_scan_tab_contents Open access read called "Air Power on Terror" describes a clusterfuck in chapter 5 Anaconda. It seems the brass failed to communicate in the plans and with just 72 hours before they attacked, we were scrambling to find air support.
  11. Jail, prison, parole, probation is around 7 million americans. Has that number gone down? Sure, but compare that number to 1980.

    Heat wave

    We were in the 90's in April, and 100 on May 25.
  13. It is my understanding this was the result of Wagner having the incentive of collecting a cut of that oil but the bad intel. They did not bargain for the American military combat experience. IMO they did not think we were still there. We watched Russian vehicles cross the Euphrates on pontoon bridges back in September. I'm not sure, but I believe Russians were simply going for broke.
  14. The Warthogs are back in Afghanistan. AF problem is keeping pilots. If you want to remote pilot a Reaper in Afghanistan, General Atomics is hiring contactors. See Glassdoor. https://www.airforcetimes.com/flashpoints/2018/01/23/a-10-warthogs-are-back-in-afghanistan/
  15. USAF does not provide daylight AC 130 support to ground troops. This is part of the problem. Operators come to depend on this protection when the shit hits the fan. Some of this is shared resentment.
  16. So many thing went wrong, but the effort was epic. The enemy was their finest. The Battle of Robert's Ridge. http://www.navy.mil/submit/display.asp?story_id=105491
  17. According to web traffic, 10% comes from Taiwan.
  18. Great history around this treasure. Frankly, I don't understand why it has not been stolen. https://thecitypaperbogota.com/big-picture/big-picture-the-san-jose-galleon-from-a-rembus-6000/19727
