Want citizenship in the US? Sure! Just sign on the line, go through some rediculously difficult indoctrination and training, where we also take your visas away from you so you can't run away, and then go slog through the worst shitholes in the world for 10 years.

Isn't this basically like joining the Marines, but with added paperwork loss?

There's a lot of reasons that ORP won't end up going as badly as some other programs, but it has plenty of room to be hosed up, and is kind of already heading that way.

Did the Marines ask for a version that can launch LCACs SSCs instead of Trident IIs?

The inner ADIZ is what matters. Breaking the outer ADIZ provokes an interception. Penetrating the inner one is weapons free type poo poo.

For those who don't know, an ADIZ is an air defense identification zone. The inner one is set at 12 miles off the coast, if I remember correctly.

We get to hear ADIZ violation advisory calls over guard all the time. Even when you can tell its some 110lb 19 year old girl, the phrase "Aircraft squawking 1200, position, direction of flight, at altitude, this is the US Air Force, squawk discrete code and contact the FAA immediately" never ceases to send a chill down your spine.

Why is Miami seemingly always painted as a target? There's nothing of strategic importance down here....just like the port of miami I guess?

Tampa I get bc of Mcdill and JSOC

Port of Miami (PortMiami is a loving stupid name; gently caress the Dade county commissioners,) Homestead ARB (there's some guard or reserve F-16s there, but more to the point, the facilities are there to base MUCH more,) Turkey Point nuclear power station, USSOUTHCOM HQ is in Doral (just west of Miami proper,) and the NAP of the Americas, just as a starting list.

A small observation, regarding the current uproar about Iran:

An executive agreement, which is what I would imagine will result from the current talks with Iran, is NOT legally binding, and a future administration breaking it would be a simple political gesture.

An actual treaty, which would be legally binding, requires a two-thirds vote of the Senate for ratification.

That doesn't remove the stain of members of the legislature attempting to influence executive foreign relations, however. It was dirty when Teddy Kennedy did it with the Soviets, and it's dirty now.

95% of Americans can't agree on what color the loving sky is, let alone gun control. You're delusional if you really think gun control is that popular.

So the emerging story is that the owner of the SUV picked up two cross-dressers and took them to a motel for a hot, wig-filled night of debauchery. When he woke up the next morning, they had gone and had stolen his SUV. Apparently they took the wrong exit off of 295 and went in the back gate of Meade to the NSA, freaked out because the vehicle was hot and they had drugs, and somehow figured that ramming a federal police vehicle at a high-security facility in the post-9/11 era was a better move than just playing it cool.

So, basically, White Chicks 2?

It's a coordinated push between anti-abortion zealots, right wing media, and the GOP to get abortion and defunding Planned Parenthood into the 2016 conversation in a major way. They're going to drag this poo poo out for the next few years.

It's like the democrats beating their foreheads bloody on gun control. It brings out passion, but only from single-issue people who were going to vote for you anyway. Everyone else moves a bit farther away from you at the dinner party, and starts looking nervously at their watch.
