I don't think it matters as much as you'd expect what governmental model is adopted, but more the cultural norms that determine how it actually functions. The democratic model in Denmark isn't that different than the US in ways, but it functions better mostly because of their norms. If the US were more prosperous country with different norms, the laws and governance may be administered similarly, but the results would be quite different.

It's like anything else it works great on paper and then people just ruin everything.

yeah if only the most prosperous county in recorded history were a little more prosperous

lmao get out of here

i suggested in one of the various cool airplane threads that manned fighters are doctrinally unnecessary these days because they're basically just carriers for advanced guided missiles at this point and HOOOO BOYYYY you would not believe how mad some people get about such things

"too close for missiles, switching to guns!"

the latest thing is that they're going to have to paint the fuel trucks with white solar reflective paint because the f-35 uses the fuel as a heat sink and if the fuel from the truck is too hot the plane shuts down.

I'm sure Lockheed Martin conveniently sells the required paint.

hahahahah

quote:

Defense spending analyst Winslow Wheeler concluded from flight evaluation reports that the F-35A "is flawed beyond redemption";[185] in response, program manager Bogdan suggested that pilots worried about being shot down should fly cargo aircraft instead.[186]

Current aircraft software is inadequate for even basic pilot training.
Ejection seat may fail, causing pilot fatality.
Several pilot-vehicle interface issues, including lack of feedback on touch screen controls.
The radar performs poorly, or not at all.
Engine replacement takes an average of 52 hours, instead of the two hours specified.
Maintenance tools do not work.[187]
There is a bug with the AMRAAM's ability to provide track/guidance data.
DAS confuses the aircraft's own flare launches with incoming missiles.
The airframe is unlikely to last through the required lifespan.
There are multiple thermal management problems. The air conditioner fails to keep the pilot and controls cool enough, the roll posts on the F-35B overheat, and using the afterburner damages the aircraft.

stymie is right. mostly. sometimes you might get directions, and then oh no there's construction. or an accident. and now u gotta reroute.
