  1. The modularity at the small size was silly. It should have been a class of hulls for each mission and some commonality between those for parts with a system for strategic lift and local support. The gunfighter concept and some of the other littoral functions would have been better served by the ongoing old pattern of specific purpose hulls like mine sweepers large for FACs attack boats and perhaps some larger slow platform able to hand missiles off to other platforms.
  2. You can BET that they got great promotions and are well into a nice retirement and sinecures at some defense contractors.
  3. I really want to find that series on DVD. When Discovery was part of my corporate leadership/employer stack, I asked if it was possible to get that on DVD. Noone could tell me anything. But then much of my mgmt stack couldn't tell me anything about our technical environment or their direction.
  4. I don't just listen to Sargon, Stuart. So that's not a difference. One that IS a difference is that Sargon and the Lotus Eaters don't have a penchant for boys or sexual molestation.
  5. I've been told that it's impossible for people to vote more than once.
  6. Wait, you've bitched about my listening to Sargon and the Lotus eaters and you've been listening to the Lincoln Project for political commentary? LOL. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Lincoln+project+controversies&va=i&t=hb&ia=web
  7. I guess I'll have to dump a quart of cheap motor oil in the tank of the M35 ever time I fill up. that or gear oil with sulfur HP additives.
  8. No he’s telling YOU Europeans that if you don’t buck the hell up, you will be for the taking. Putin is no idiot. I swear, did you reload your political memory backups from 2015?
  9. More Jeffersonian leaning foreign policy. But the Abraham accords and his policy in Syria was a small mix of Wilsonian and Jacksonian policy Some here complain when the US is too Wilsonian, or Hamiltonian.
  10. Then why the hell did you just try to blame it on Trump’s magic wand? Either way you can also own Biden goving the green light so long as its a minor incursion. With no stop line. This war, insofar as US foreign policy goes is all Biden. Period. Stop evading that. What natural order is that? Russia invaded and seized the Crimea under Obama. Was that Trump too? Maybe we could get a complete list of what the US has sent. Mind you as its valued at more than the entire annual budget of the UK’s MOD is something you should just suck up and shut up about. This again? Seriously. Give it a rest. Given you were proven wrong before. Stop beating that drum.
  11. How many allies are trying to sunbathe in the street?
  12. Stuart, the founding fathers set up the Senate chamber. You do understand this right? How much moderated deal making goes on in the house of commons or in various UK ministers offices? How many appointed by the state officials do you have at the home office or the MoD? You’re making up a standard and then only applying it where it suits your argument. Unmoderated deal making. Yes. You vote on every single initiative and deal the government makes do you? Its meant to put the brakes on the wild swings that popular votes can effect. Whats strange is you decry populism but then want to turn it up to 11. The US system suffers by way of the popular election of senators because they really are beholden to the major donors and not their states and certainly not their voters. Its your history. Why don’t you just move to Portland already?
  13. These are the same starving people who are complaining that the US food drops are not Halal enough?
  14. So not WWII US bomber, post WWII. Interesting piece of kit.
