Missionary Positron posted:Ah, right. It's still pretty mindblowing to me that a conventional cruise missile can take out a nuclear missile silo built to withstand at least some form of nuclear attack. Withstanding a nuclear air burst in the 70s took a giant concrete door. So they spread out silos so that one huge blast could never take out more than one at once. Once MIRVs got to the point where you could hit each solo silos within kill radius they essentially gave up and started clumping them again but with the expectation that our more mature radar systems would give us enough warning to launch any missile that was threatened by an incoming missile. Now your threat is a wave of tomahawks which even if you've got a giant concrete door will certainly break the door enough where you can't fire the misssle, and will likely destroy the missile and warhead from falling concrete and blast wave. Hence the mission kill. So now we are left with only submarine and road mobile missiles that act as survivable second strike missiles. And the US doesn't do road mobile missiles. Check out Arms Control Wonk's episode about potential basing modes.

Sounds like we need to convert all those tactical class warheads into nuclear EFPs and cassabla howizers

Missionary Positron posted:Is there a specific reason why the US decided to not go with road mobile launchers, unlike China & Russia? Are subs + dispersed bombers loaded with nuclear tipped cruise missiles considered "good enough"? Pretty much. The US has naval dominance with good submarines and surface, good Anti-submarine warfare capabilities outside of attack subs alone, and unlike everyone else we also have dozens of airbases around the world.

TBeats posted:the issue is that there's nothing in the policy about leggings and it is literally up to the people at the gate's discretion. The rest of the article seemed to go on about how the girls were traveling g under employee family passes which fall under united's dress code which does explicitly prohibit leggings. Now while I agree leggings aren't pants I'm against the tyranny of pants in general and yoga butts are the future.

I feel like that statement is about equivalent to Frump walking into the room, asking, Mattis sarcasticly telling him things are going great, better than ever, and then Trump walking out smiling like king fool while Mattis got back to doing useful work.

Poppyseed Poundcake posted:UCMJ doesn't work like that. He isn't subject to UCMJ unless he is during navy stuff, nothing he does a a civilian counts. What? If you do something dumb off duty you'll still get hosed over by your command under the UCMJ. I just think that anything spicey is doing nobody is willing to care about.

I doubt very few people are going to be sentenced for anything. Just having public testimony destroying corrupt politicians careers will be enough for me. Who said that Flynn flipping will redeem him again?

The Iron Rose posted:I'm unconvinced that losing the bad press for the nuclear option now is a good idea. Gorsuch is conservative, sure. But he's qualified, not a raving ideologue, and probably the best and most moderate pick you could expect from the Republicans. It makes more sense to filibuster a judge who's either unqualified or a judge who is simply far too conservative to accept. Gorsuch is neither. Either they filibuster this one and the cloture rule gets changed, or they filibuster the next one and the cloture rule gets changed, either way the GOP gets both of their choices in. Meanwhile the more you can derail the trumpster in the early days the less he'll be able to get done in whatever amount of term he does have.

TBeats posted:I think the whole debate is kinda dumb because there's good reasons for saying millennials start in 95 just like 85. I feel like millennial just means we grew up with some combination of A) coming of age in a 9/11 world and B) exposure and intrinsic use of the internet from a young age. I know having dialup at age 8 was more formative and potentially damaging than pretty much everything in my life besides enlisting. So millennial are pretty much anyone born until '95 or even later. These kids getting iPads and chrome books in 2nd grade classes are gonna be odd
