Also while it's problematic for it's own set of reasons it's been standard convention to name new helicopters after native American tribes since after Vietnam, it's not some random thing. Apache, Kiowa, Chinook, Blackhawk, and Commanche (had it not been cancelled) round out the army's current inventory of helicopters.

It says that you accurately understand how they think and react to things, and I think you should reread that excerpt because I see a bunch of "brace for the coming onslaught" sentiment in there.

Trump Chest Discomfort Claim After Walter Reed Visit quote:Jonathan Wackrow, CNN law enforcement analyst, tweeted of the White House statements on the president’s trip to Walter Reed, “This does not add up; the White House Medical Unit has very comprehensive facilities at the White House complex that could easily accommodate most of what is needed in an annual physical. As a fmr USSS Agent assigned POTUS, I have never seen the annual formality occur in stages.” CNN reported that the president spent two hours at Walter Reed. Not shocked, being president is a lovely job even for people like Obama who could do pullups.

Many shooters have actively browsed T_D, especially early on when it was popular. Now that it has been quarantined, T_D has shrank considerably in size. Part of me really wants to do a history of T_D from an objective angle. I don't think it's been done before and it's been incredibly important for the fringe right for several years now.

I'm not sure how much overlap it has with other alt-right sources like /pol/ and 8chan. Sometimes it seems like they're all one part of the same whole, sometimes it seems like they're only linked by a vague ideology and overt bigotry.

A Terrible Person posted:gently caress Chuck and Nancy. gently caress child separation. gently caress ICE. I sincerely hope that people start intervening in ICE and other border protection officers' daily activities up to and including hospitalization or worse. I sincerely want ICE to be afraid to perform their terrorism in public. The only way that this happens is if you make noise and keep making noise. Bring it up in conversation with centrists in your life. Remind your friends that It’s happening and use the AP story- or any of the hundreds of others. Write this into an op-Ed and send it to your local paper, your state paper, vox/medium. Are you a student/faculty member/alum of a college or university? Write a letter to them. A lot of posters here have enough practice arguing this poo poo that writing a tier-1 op ed isn’t beyond them. Go to your local government meetings and bring it up there. Push for anti-ICE legislation and sanctuary city laws. Anything to keep the conversation alive and active. oxsnard posted:I just donated $100 to Tedra Cobb.

Welp, one point of common ground between Trump and the Chapo boys. Dammerung posted:I'm not really sure if Obama's trying to endorse Biden or what specifically he is trying to do aside from minimizing the rising stars of the party. If I had to guess, I’d say his ideal situation would’ve been one where Biden didn’t run and where maybe somebody like Kamala wouldn’t have had to swing in support of progressive proposals like M4A in order to stay relevant. Like if he could just endorse 2016-era Kamala with no Bernie or Liz around to beat the M4A/GND drums, that would be his ideal ticket. I don’t think he particularly likes Biden as a candidate, but the ship on having all of the potential nominees sound like Klobuchar policy-wise has sailed.

Robert Evans from Behind the Bastards actually did an excellent history of 8chan with its original founder, who is currently trying to keep it from being resurrected. If you're interested in 8chan I'd suggest checking out his podcast. The radicalization process is more robust than T_D, /pol/ and 8chan, though they're definitely huge forces. I think that the biggest recruiting ground for the radicalization process was the creation of the incel movement, the TERFs - trans exclusionary radical feminists, who are not radical nor feminists, FOX news, figures like Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro and Joe Rogan. Most of them aren't openly Nazis, but they're Nazi adjacent or platform the people who talk to Nazis. I'd also give a lot of thought to the smaller personalities that have in the hundreds, thousands or maybe tens of thousands of viewers. Most of them are on places like youtube or twitch. These people are small fish, but they're still fish and they swim in schools if you understand me. They have die hard audiences and can be extremely influential as a group in radicalizing people. The term for this would be long tail marketing where you influence a lot of small audiences and it is a legit marketing tactic because you can pick up a lot of influential people for cheap or free and gain access to audiences in a more intimate way that most big personalities can't.

“Warfighter” sounds like an attempt to be PC and macho at the same time. Soldier? Annoys the Navy and Air Force. Servicemen and women? Awkwardly long or non-inclusive of female military. Warrior? Conjures up silly images of bows and arrows and swords.

The Cayuse LOH and the Iroquois "Huey" are others and the naming scheme was adopted by prototypes like the Cheyenne and Arapaho. It looks like the naming convention started up with the Sioux, the bubble-canopied, exposed welded-tube tail boom two-seater popularized by M*A*S*H. Pretty much after the Iroquois, the Native American naming convention stuck with the Army, perhaps because of the re-imaging of horse-cavalry troops into heliborne Air Cavalry. The Navy doesn't use it and any Marine rotorcraft that's not cross-utilized have their own naming, like the attack helicopters Cobra and Venom.
