  1. I agree, but they don't think like that. Exactly why Matt Carpenter was sitting in the dugout for 3 seasons while not contributing. The smart play is to get rid of those guys, but they rarely do
  2. PD is making the big money, so Noot goes down. Noot probably has options available. Older guy with service time would likely have to clear waivers, if I am not mistaken.
  3. I'm not going to panic about Yadi at all. I'm seeing that Oli is not afraid to sit Yadi and Knizner is doing fine.
  4. You must really want someone to pull a Sadat.
  5. Russia warning US to stop sending weapons to Ukraine is a bit hypocritical given all that they have donated to Ukraine.
  6. I never had a book cover other than
  7. I was kind of wondering the same thing. I was also wondering the difference between "abandoned" and "captured". Maybe some Ukrainian farmer just hooked it up to his John Deere and dragged it off of some forward location. They are definitely some resourceful folks.
  8. If their supply folks are anything like ours, then he just got fucked over and they gave him the Mongo sized helmet. Probably doesn't happen to officers like it did to us enlisted scum, though.
  9. Yeah, sorry about that. Back on topic... My Lai, in my opinion, was a failure at many levels. When I went through Marine boot camp, we were taught that you not only have an obligation/duty to obey lawful orders, but also to NOT obey unlawful orders. That training may have been a result of lessons learned from My Lai, but I'm fairly certain that unlawful vs lawful orders have been a known thing since well before Vietnam. Edited to add: The courage that it took for Hugh Thompson to do what he did is incredible.
  10. Ah, the old Sherpa pilots. I think they do have some warrants that fly Sherpas, at least the last time I was around the Army, which was about 10 years ago. My buddy's son, after graduating college, he went to OCS and then flight school at Fort Rucker. Not sure what they call units at the platoon level in Army Aviation, but he was either a "platoon" commander or company XO and also a pilot. I think he was flying a Kiowa at the time. I think those are out of service now, but he's flying something.
  11. I'm not sure what you mean by "few other Army aviators", but there are many helicopter pilots in the Army that are neither Warrant Officers nor Academy grads. Buddy of mine, his son is an A&M grad and is a company commander within a CAB and helicopter pilot. Maybe that's what you meant by "few".
  12. Yeah, Matz was disappointing yesterday. I don't want to read too much into pitching just yet. They take a bit longer to hit their stride, especially starting pitchers. Early season coupled with a very abbreviated spring training makes me want to give it a little more time.
  13. As I was watching that, in my mind I heard them yelling "God dammit, Carl!"
  14. Oh, they couldn't give two shits whether you show up. Just send the gifts/cash.
  15. Well, that makes me want to believe.
  16. You summed up my feelings perfectly.
  17. I hope that no one on here would approve of us doing that to the parents of one of our killed enemies. We sure as fuck wouldn't approve of our enemies doing it to us. No way what that dude did should be acceptable.
  18. So the woman that finished 9th is not an All-American. I'd like to get her take on this.
  19. Fair enough. I probably misread/misunderstood the original post. We do have a long history of armed conflict and we do romanticize it to strong degree, which is how I understood the original post.
  20. Um... I hate to admit it, but we ain't much different, are we?
  21. Thanks for starting this. I now have a place to virtual hand-wring. I'm more than a little concerned with Flaherty's shoulder. Hope it turns out to be nothing.
  22. The stock is tiny. If using the optic, the shooter's eye is going to get an ocular shocker.
