  1. If they've been retrofitted with the 120mm main gun, yes. If not, as I recall, the older 105mm du antitank rounds were quite sufficient against T-72s in the first Gulf War.
  2. These dickcheeses couldn't even cut it in the movie Aladdin. "The monkey has a sword!" "Fools, we all have swords." It apparently never occurred to them that two of them armed with any firearm outgunned the murderous punk.
  3. There you go, using logic. Haven't you seen the rest of the thread? Logic has no home here.
  4. Better yet, blow the Kerch bridge with his train on it. See if he can fly or swim.
  5. Plus the distance to Austin and proximity to my dad and brothers.
  6. I've never been through Brownfield, so I'll take your word for it. Lots of little town diners and drive-ins produce some really good food. The Burton Cafe had the best burger I ever put in my mouth, until it closed.
  7. No. I'm talking about outside Navasota. There's nothing here, but I can get to it from here. I hear that you can't get to anything from Brownfield.
  8. If I ever get to retire, my wife and I have talked about staying put, or maybe moving to the Taos area. Who knows? But I agree that there are few places in Texas that I find more attractive than right where I am. I've put work and sweat into this place, and it's kinda got ahold of my heart.
  9. I live just outside of Navasota and really like it (aside from the aggy infestation), so, yeah. I've also lived in a small East Texas town. I might could live there, but there's no way in hell that I was going to raise my kids there. Some of the folks there were the most backward, proudly ignorant people I have ever run into. I would say that if you find a small town populated by people with similar values to yours, you can do well. If you have different values from most in the town, it won't be so pleasant.
  10. There is no wrong way to eat a Rhesus.
  11. I met a non-SEAL diver once, and he seemed to be the most competent, organized, and focused individual I ever met. The kind of man you want with you if anything anywhere gets sideways.
  12. Most likely just recovery vessels to look for and recover the drone pieces. Maybe a couple of small escorts, too. They'll need divers. Aren't SEALs divers?
  13. I think that I would put that resume in the circular file. If everyone you meet are assholes...
  14. In her defense, it is difficult and awkward to try to express "Woke is where I have to admit that people that I want to oppress have a right to not be oppressed." in a manner that doesn't sound like a Hitler quote.
  15. I will admit that only OG Tabasco is acceptable for C rations/MREs.
  16. I bet the Rivet Joints over the Black Sea get fighter escorts from now on. Hell, they may already. The Reaper can carry multiple AIM-9X Sidewinders, too.
  17. Those assault groups don't seem like they would have a lot of value for defending ground, especially from more mobile and better equipped mechanized units. That lack of C3 is a recipe for defensive disaster. We'll see once the Ukrainian offensive begins.
  18. Brought fists to a gun fight. Dumbass.
  19. As stated above, there is no one sauce for everything. OG Cholula, green Cholula, OG Tabasco, green Tabasco, El Yucateco Rojo, and El Yucateco Verde all have their place. May as well ask what is your favorite golf club.
  20. Buy cheap, blend with theirs, sell at their price. Saudi helps Russia dodge sanctions and makes a profit while they're at it. Saudis are bastards.
  21. That model worked 30 years ago against Iraq, and again later against Afghanistan and a sanctions weakened Iraq. The assumptions behind that model aren't playing out in Ukraine, and will most assuredly be challenged if we face Russia or China, or another near peer adversary. Remember, after the adoption of air to air missiles, fighters would never need guns. Until Vietnam proved otherwise. I'm not saying you're entirely wrong, but don't count on it being that simple.
  22. Silly shits don't understand that they haven't earned any respect. Not by winning, not by behaving in a manner that would encourage respect, and not by respecting others. They can’t fathom that if they act like pissants, they will be treated like pissants.
