Hatebag posted:it's very funny to drive around suburban/exurban areas and see just the shittiest looking zero lotline houses all clustered together on what was previously a farm. so these people live in the middle of nowhere but they're still up in each other's assholes and often the houses cost more than in a place a person would actually wanna live. and the houses fall apart and the utilities the developers install for the development are also garbage. pretty good racket i suppose 17th century puritan urban planning practices have a lot to answer for

when I was in at the end of the fiscal year my unit would have a big budget Potlatch because if we didn't spend our entire budget would be cut and it was harder to justify raising it afterwards if you needed something. so we just made stupid purchases at the 11th hour of the FY to keep in place. we'd update the TV in the day room, all the computers and monitors, new furniture etc. just Brewsters millions that poo poo. even as an idiot 22 year old I imagined that same thing across the whole air force and dod and it didn't seem like a sustainable way to Do Military

scoffing at the boy scout thing is correct, but what's even funnier is it actually has tangible cachet in the military: enlisting as an eagle scout gives you an extra rank

"Eagle Scouts who enlist in the U.S. Armed Forces may receive advanced enlisted rank in recognition of their achievements.[61][62][63] For commissioned officer programs, attainment of Eagle Scout is considered a positive factor in determining service academy appointments and award of college ROTC scholarships."

stephenthinkpad posted:I want to give US MIC the benefit of doubt, is there a list of new US weapons that were designed after the cold war, particularly released in the last 2 decades, that are actually good? Like, they will go into textbooks as examples of good weapons, not going into textbooks as examples of bad weapons. The F-22 ended up pretty decent, but it wasn't making the right people enough money so we made an F-35 about it. F-22's only air-to-air kill was during the Great Chinese Baloon Crisis IINM though.

That money could've bought a whole bunch of f15's or missiles or whatever that would actually have been useful I meant tactically, but yeah with the kinds of wars the US has picked in the past 30 years you could practically use a fleet of Super Tucano type things.
