This one time when I was TDY I got co-opted into helping clean guns (M4s and M9s). They decided to use one of those ultrasonic cleaners which seemed to just make poo poo worse. Was the fluid just old or is it easy to gently caress up the settings? I've been wondering what the hell happened for years.

Ultrasonic cleaning is a two step process that most units focus on part one of: get poo poo off of it.

Unfortunately, this step also removes any "not metal" from the metal, including old lube buried deep in the pores of the metal.

You need to ultrasonically lube it to get oil back down in those pores. Most units don't do this. They wipe it with oil, and the part will not properly absorb all of it, so it'll be MORE vulnerable to poo poo sticking to it.

But the military focuses on the dumbest poo poo on getting a gun running, mainly keeping them looking pretty, by scouring off minor poo poo with horrifyingly caustic and abrasive materials, slowly loving up the tolerances of the weapon.

Don't they usually schedule training into the flyover? Like if they have F-16's fly over the Air Force Academy graduation they're actually doing a mock bomb run on all the terrible people in the stadium?

So you're saying we could technically have a real bomb on there by accident....?

How would the use of nuclear power in Iran dissuade Iran from selling oil? Increased use of nuclear power in oil importing countries might have that effect(through a decrease in demand) but not the other way around.

Nuclear power in Iran might decrease oil demand in Iran and/or lower the costs of production of oil in Iran but it probably wouldn't cause them to 'wean themselves off the sale of oil'.

Might get them to realize they live in a self inflicted stone age poo poo hole and bring back the pre-ayatollah days where they were part of the global community.

It's even more fundamental than that...there was no way to win. It wasn't even a question of materiel or troop strength or even ROE. Our enemy was an entrenched ideology, and our very presence (along with some brutal coercion on the part of the communists) united factions that otherwise wouldn't have cooperated with each other. We were foreign invaders, fighting a war many of the locals didn't want us to fight, propping up a government many of them didn't want or support.

Why does this sound familiar?

Army morale low despite 6-year, $287M optimism program

quote:

Twelve months of data through early 2015 show that 403,564 soldiers, or 52%, scored badly in the area of optimism, agreeing with statements such as "I rarely count on good things happening to me." Forty-eight percent have little satisfaction in or commitment to their jobs.

quote:

Other results:

-- Forty-eight percent or about 370,000 soldiers showed a lack of commitment to their job or would have chosen another if they had it to do over again. Only 28% felt good about what they do.

-- About 300,000 soldiers or nearly 40% didn't trust their immediate supervisor or fellow soldiers in their unit or didn't feel respected or valued. Thirty-two percent felt good about about bosses and peers.

-- In one positive trend, more than 400,000 soldiers or 53% said they were satisfied or extremely satisfied with their marriage, personal relationship or family. About 240,000 expressed dissatisfaction.

-- For physical fitness, nearly 40% were in good shape, 28% were borderline, and 33% did poorly.

If you've got a band on post then it's easier than gently caress for your commander to call up and request them out if they aren't busy.

However, no one could give the slightest gently caress to even make a 2 minute phone call to not make a funeral detail a farcical affair

When I was in high school, I was in band and NJROTC. The instructor asked of I was up to play Taps for a Vietnam vet.

They were gonna have a tape player do Taps instead of a real bugler, and they got me.
