So, it turns out LCTs, on top of not requiring shipyards, were quick and easy to build "In this series of photos the first photo shows all the hull sections of LCT(5)-156 are in place on the building ways and section B-2 of LCT(5)-157 is being lowered into place early in the morning of 3 October 1942 at Mare Island Navy Yard. In the second photo all the hull sections of LCT(5)-156 and LCT(5)-157 are in place on the ways later in the day. Two days later, 5 October 1942, the deck house is on LCT(5)-156, the ramp is on LCT(5)-157 and all hull sections are in place for LCT(5)-158. The next day, 6 October 1942, all the hull sections for LCT(5)-319 are in place and work continues on LCT(5)-156, LCT(5)-157 and LCT(5)-158. Four days later, 10 October 1942, (front to back and left to right) LCT(5)-321, LCT(5)-322, LCT(5)-159, LCT(5)-320, LCT(5)-158, LCT(5)-319, LCT(5)-156 and LCT(5)-157 with YD-33 at the end of the ways. One day later, 11 October 1942, (front to back and left to right) LCT(5)-160, LCT(5)-321, LCT(5)-322, LCT(5)-159, LCT-320, LCT-158 and LCT-319 with YD-33 at the end of the ways."       LCT(5)-159 being launched at Mare Island Navy Yard, 15 October 1942. The yard used its' 150 ton floating crane, YD-33, to lift the LCT over the building ways caisson into the water. LCTs were assembled on the building ways and as their construction progressed they were moved down the ways and were placed in the water by the floating crane. The yards log indicate that LCT(5)-159 was launched/placed in the water on 15 Oct 1942. Photo from a supplement dated 9 March 1947 issued of the Vallejo Times Herald

Juice money SEAL / FFL guy is unintentionally hilarious https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBvfa6xSKfY Jfc  Also, like our guys in Prosperity Guardian, he almost drowned somehow lmao timestamp ~ 50:00 Also around 59:00 criminal as gently caress, busted for steroids and stealing weapons, SEALs cover for him. 102: "I have Federal Marshals in a van trying to extradite an active Duty Navy SEAL from loving California to Idaho, fighting that, because I violated (probation) on a violent crime again in a different state" "I had a girlfriend at the time, and so that was kind of somewhat distracting, but even that was, very tumultuous. Cuz I wasn't - you know I always say a fish thinks from the head, man - if the man's not right... man the whole loving thing's (relationship's) hosed, right? So... and I was not my best self. Bottom line, I was not clear, I wasn't living right. Still, going to the gym and training and so I could lie to myself and say I was kind of disciplined, but I was... I lacked all loving real discipline..." DJJIB-DJDCT has issued a correction as of 18:46 on Feb 24, 2024 |

I do, I actively work at polls. But it's a war at this point, we can't live together here, this isn't a homogenous country and it's being taken advantage of, and we've done this before as Cassius Dio said The Roman–Persian Wars have been characterized as "futile" and too "depressing and tedious to contemplate".[159] Prophetically, Cassius Dio noted their "never-ending cycle of armed confrontations" and observed that "it is shown by the facts themselves that [Severus'] conquest has been a source of constant wars and great expense to us. For it yields very little and uses up vast sums; and now that we have reached out to peoples who are neighbor of the Medes and the Parthians rather than of ourselves, we are always, one might say, fighting the battles of those peoples."[160] In the long series of wars between the two powers, the frontier in upper Mesopotamia remained more or less constant. the man said that between 170-230ad, I don't need to live out that much ancient history myself to realize when I'm in a spot that requires force.

It's always funny that the RETVRN people don't really understand that what they idolize created the conditions for its own demise. If the Roman-Persian wars had not devastated the region, there's basically no way that Islam emerges the way it does and gains support among people so rapidly. Hell, there were many times Christianization seemed to be taking off among the Arabs, each cut short by the Romans being dicks. Queen Mavia wanted to be a Christian ruler, but the "ruler" part necessitated a degree of independence, and the Romans believed that "Christian" meant subordination to Rome, so the Romans started a war. She won and installed a monk, Moses, as bishop, but you can see that the chance to follow an Abrahamic religion that was not completely wrapped up in Byzantine court politics, civil wars, domination from Constantinople and endless wars was appealing when Mohammed came along. Socrates Scholasticus, The Ecclesiastical History. posted:The Saracens, under Mavia their Queen, embrace Christianity; and Moses, a Pious Monk, is consecrated their Bishop. Let me link that to the thread more directly: Ho Chi Minh and Fidel Castro did not start out as communists. They simply wanted, well, something like piety, faith, and miracles for their nations. The problem was that America determined that this made them enemies, and so you might say "pushed" them into adopting an ideology outside of American control. Rome repeatedly antagonized emerging Christian polities in Georgia, Armenia, Ethiopia, by demanding some sort of political subservience if they were going to be Christian. It's a major reason that Persia began persecuting Christians, they saw them as a fifth column. But, it's also why the Bulgars (Bulgarians) "held out" as pagans for so long before converting, and why the Magyar (Hungarians) became Catholic instead of Orthodox. In Arabia, obviously things went another direction, but I'd argue that the pattern was the same. America demands vassalage, and while espousing democracy, really the "promotion of democracy abroad" is about subservience to America. A democratic revolution that does not agree to submission is treated as an enemy from the onset. So, "the faith" is undermined by the hegemony.

Is this supposed to incentivize the other E-11A pilots to have more situational awareness or something? Don't let your plane get shot down because we won't say it's a bird strike, we'll say you're retards who don't know how to fly.

Don't let your plane get shot down because we won't say it's a bird strike, we'll say you're retards who don't know how to fly. If they weren't working for the USA it would be sad how dirty they got done. "It's important to stress that there is no indication that this Air Force practice of soliciting volunteers who may have limited immediate experience on the E-11A or similar aircraft types in any way contributed to the mishap in Afghanistan on Jan. 27. Much of the circumstances about that crash and its immediate aftermath remain unclear." "On Jan. 29, 2020, the U.S. military officially announced that Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Paul Voss and Captain Ryan Phaneuf had died in the mishap. The E-11A, with the serial number 11-9358, had crashed in Afghanistan's Ghazni Province on Jan. 27. Voss and Phaneuf were the only two individuals on board the aircraft when it went down, despite initial reports that there might have been as many as five people on board. The Pentagon has also denied claims since then that the Taliban shot the aircraft down and says the investigation into the incident is still ongoing. There is also no evidence to support the militant group's assertion that a senior Central Intelligence Agency officer had been on the plane." "The E-11A that crashed, along with the three remaining aircraft of this type that the Air Force operates, are all assigned to the 430th Expeditionary Electronic Combat Squadron at Kandahar Airfield. However, the Pentagon's statement said that Lieutenant Colonel Voss was assigned to Headquarters, Air Combat Command, situated at Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Virginia and that Captain Phaneuf was a member of the 37th Bomb Squadron based at Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota. " "Headquarters, Air Combat Command is not a flying unit and 37th Bomb Squadron, part of the 28th Bomb Wing, flies B-1 Bone bombers, making it somewhat curious that members of both organizations would be in Afghanistan flying the E-11A, which are derived from the Bombardier BD-700 business jet." "Pictures from the crash site in the Dih Yak district of Ghazni province showed that the plane had skidded along the ground for a considerable distance before coming to a rest, indicating that the crew might have attempted to make an emergency landing. It's not clear if the aircraft was on fire before or after hitting the ground." "Dih Yak is under the control of the Taliban, who claimed initially to have secured the crash site and reportedly fought off initial attempts by local Afghan forces to reach the aircraft. The U.S. military reportedly subsequently dispatched a special operations force made up of elements from the secretive Joint Special Operations Command, including members of Seal Team Six, according to Newsweek. That force faced no resistance in getting to the crash site and successfully recovered Voss and Phaneuf's bodies." "U.S. forces destroyed the remnants of the aircraft," Leggett added. Newsweek had reported that the special operators on the ground had destroyed what was left of the plane before departing the site, but that U.S. officials were considering using airstrikes, as well, to ensure that neither the Taliban nor anyone else could attempt to recover sensitive equipment or documents from the wreckage. It's unclear if those strikes ultimately occurred. Hopefully, the analysis of the apparent flight data recorder will shed more light on this accident. In the meantime, volunteers from around the Air Force will continue flying the remaining E-11As in Afghanistan as they continue to provide vital communications support for U.S. forces in that country.  I just realized that the official story is that there were just the two pilots and absolutely no one inside the plane to operate any of the equipment.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/bad-backs-dodgy-knees-old-022135691.html While there are no official statistics available on the average age of soldiers currently serving in the Ukrainian army, government officials have ventured out estimates: in an interview with “The New Voice of Ukraine,” Serhii Rakhmanin, a member of the Ukrainian parliamentary committee on national security, defense and intelligence claimed that the average age of a Ukrainian soldier was now between 40 and 45 years old. “This applies not only to territorial defense brigades, but also, for example, to linear mechanized brigades and even units that should have been better prepared,” he added. “Such as, for example, mountain assault or amphibious assault [brigades].” A few weeks prior, adviser to the head of the President's Office Serhii Leshchenko had made the startling claim on Ukrainian television that the average age in some companies was “around 54 years.”
