ded posted:Good. That was a lovely thing to do to that kid. I hope he gets enough money out of this to fund him for a full doctorate. You're reading it wrong. His civil case against the district was thrown out. He's got till June 1st to refile. My girlfriend's dad was also convinced that this kid was an ISIS plant whose sole purpose was to cause outrage to get himself invited to the White House, so ISIS could probe the WH for weaknesses. My girlfriend's dad is a nice guy and fun to talk to about cars and stuff, but he's loving retarded when it comes to this stuff.

They have a chance to submit an amended suit, but as it is right now the judge granted the school's motion to dismiss and he lost.

Unless all of the Rojavan supporters are massacred, I'm hoping there's either a forever insurgency there or they get independence.

Several MiG-29s. Mirage F1s, , MiG-25s and 23s, which are late 3rd-gen fighters. But yeah. It does count, because that's air superiority. That's what keeps bombs off our guys.

To expand on this, aside from kill:death dickwaving, a fighter that can routinely find, intercept, and kill poo poo is very valuable compared to a plane that just roams around and wins fights it happens into. F-15s are pretty good at keeping enemy air off US troops. OTOH, remember that time they shot down a couple of choppers while competing with Viper squadrons to get the highest kill counts?

The only thing that can kill a F-15, is another F-15. https://translate.google.com/transl...2585&edit-text= (tl;dr is that in 1995 a JASDF flight leader shot down his wingman during air combat training)
