  1. At Red Flag ‘It’s Tough To Be Legacy Aircraft In An LO World’
  2. About halfway through this is an interview with a pilot who compares his experience at Red Flags in the late 90's to how they are now.
  3. It looks like the USMC is buying 11,000 more M27 rifles, taking the incremental route to make it their main service rifle instead of upgrading to the M4A1 like the US army is doing. http://soldiersystems.net/2017/02/10/usmc-begins-process-to-issue-m27-iar-to-every-rifleman-issues-rfi-to-industry/
  4. Is the 2A4 turret capable of being modified into a 2A7 or does it require being outright replaced?
  5. No a single thought about where the money is going to come from, just that it has to be done.
  6. A-10C Warthog Attack Plane — $17,716 http://nation.time.com/2013/04/02/costly-flight-hours/
  7. http://www.forbes.com/sites/larrydownes/2017/01/24/why-is-the-media-smearing-new-fcc-chair-ajit-pai-as-the-enemy-of-net-neutrality/#749203c34c7f
  8. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, WHY ARE SUCH CLUELESS PEOPLE ALLOWED POWER!
  9. I am not a lawyer, but you do not have to be one to understand that Trump's EO is legal, within his authority and has precedent. Oh, and not a Muslim ban.

  11. The B variant is safe. We will have to see how internal politics and lobbying plays out the C's fate, but I doubt it will be outright canned.
  12. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/raid-in-yemen-how-trump-ordered-al-quaeda-attack/
  13. I can see the possibility that it is a further development of the XM1069, but I feel that raises as many questions as it answers.
  14. It is meant to replace M830(DM12), M830A1, M908 and M1028 with a unitary round. I just don't understand what additional requirement exists that, lets say the M329 APAM, is not capable of.
  15. Glad I am not the only one who smiled at that. The thing that I still do not understand about the XM1147, is what about it requires developing a new round? The M329 APAM-MP, M339 HE-MP and DM11 HE-MP (which is already used by the USMC) all seem to do what is required and are all available to the US Army.
