Arc Light posted:Instead, America will buy even more tanks, because our Congress has been bought by General Dynamics. I think it was General Dynamics who installed the boom gates and control systems and Benning. I was on a bullshit detail to help man them because... I dunno, budgets or something. The only thing that worked was the green and red lights above the lanes, and only then from the cheap poo poo looking switch box in the individual booths. Nothing else worked. Not the spikes, the boom gates, the cameras, the barriers, nothing. They were paying a 30k a month service agreement for poo poo that didn't work, and no one ever came out to look at it, let alone fix it. Of course the dude in charge of the contract was prior military, who was buddy buddy with the staff officers still in so they just threw Joes at the problem instead of, you know, getting what they paid for.

Arc Light posted:The UK is running low on tanks and the US has storage depots full of them, which the army doesn't want or need. If we can't afford to run our own Challengers and have to mothball a third of them...how the gently caress can we afford to run Abrams? Don't they burn something like 10 gallons to the mile? We also pay our soldiers a lot less than you welfare queens, they probably get a comparable basic but the pensions are poo poo and so are the fringe benefits.

Don't they burn something like 10 gallons to the mile? We've basically got the problem that we can only really afford to fund one branch of our military at a decent strength. Bit tough that, what'd you pick? I'd dump everything but the navy (which is in lovely shape), specifically our attack subs. We're not going to be invading anywhere ever again, and even the US has trouble affording enough planes to do what they want to do.

Yeah its interesting to watch him that's for sure. You can see how eagerly he jumps on a slight inconsistency so he doesn't have to address the main bulk of a question he knows he has no chance of deflecting

Bernard McFacknutah posted:The Navy is doing okay, it has lots of new ships on the way although there are worries about keeping them at sea due to costs. People look at the pitifully small number of Surface combatants left and forget about the sizeable very modern subs that we do have. You guys did buy some P-8s along with Norway.

I like how enough of you think the same group that is still trying to slit each other's throats over the failure of the health care bill won't impeach one of their own. The moderates in unsafe districts in the house will sell Trump out. The HFC and the equivalent in the Senate don't give one gently caress about or actively hate him. With Pence being next in line, they will vote to impeach him simply for tweeting something they deem too far. You really under estimate how ugly and broken the GOP really is. These fuckers are going to shut down the government at the end of the month because they don't like each other. You honestly think they will protect that retard in the oval office? LoL... ok... For example: Mike Huckabee called Lindsey Graham gay. These fuckers aren't going to protect Trump when the real heat starts raining down on them.

goatsestretchgoals posted:My understanding is that if you put a single multi-MT nuke on the top of your missile, a lot of your boom is superheating the air above your target. A MIRVed missile with a bunch of smaller nukes is going to incinerate more of the surface area you're aiming at. No chance of this presentation showing up on YouTube until it gets declassified. I'm pretty sure most of the details (minus design details) are already out there.

Bernard McFacknutah posted:The Air force is a bit hosed, it's running out of strike aircraft because the F-35 is no-where near ready to replace the ageing Tornado, we have no proper Maritime or Surveillance or AWACS aircraft left anymore since they shredded the Nimrod. The F-35 is so expensive that there are no major procurement's on the way. You literally have E-3 Sentries.
