Semper Paratus
I don't think so. Douglas Munro, a Coastie, was awarded a CMH for his work driving a landing craft, rescuing Marines after an ill-conceived reconnaissance mission on Guadalcanal. Coasties regularly engage smugglers and fish thieves and lots of things that don't make the news. They are badasses in my book.

I suppose that the missiles that hit Poland could have been Ukrainian S-300 missiles that were fired at Russian missiles and missed their target. We don't know, and may not for a while.

If they go there will be trouble, if they stay it will be double.

No. He's saying that the only defense line that Ukraine will not penetrate is the Russian border. The pre-2008 Russian border. In other words, leave and live; stay and die.

The Airplane Fanatic Thread
I understand. My favorite WW II warbird is the DeHavilland Mosquito. Several years ago I saw a video where the world's only flying Mossie crashed at an airshow in England. The pilot, who flew Mossies in the war and had returned his plane to airworthy condition, was in his eighties and had a heart attack during the flight. The Mossie dove straight into the ground. I guess that the guy died doing what he loved, but he took a one of a kind plane with him. I felt bad for him and the plane.

The GQP: Trumpist Death Cult
Aren't there state laws against child porn? I get that the Feds can hit harder, but where is Paxton in this? Isn't that one of the planks in the state Republican platform? Why aren't Texas LEOs taking this maggot down?

I mean, it's nice to see it polled, but file this under "Duh!" This has been obvious to everyone for a long while.

Happy Birthday (246th) Jarheads!
I used to work with a retired Marine lieutenant colonel. I called him colonel one morning and he asked my if I wanted him to call me corporal. Point taken, sir.

Lol, no. But to be fair, she didn't have much access to that kind of ammo. Couldn't beat her turnip greens and cornbread, though.

Same, but mine was Polish. I could never eat enough to keep her truly happy. And I could freaking eat as a kid. My Grandma was a Scot, French, and English mutt. Babushka attitude transcends nationality.

Air Show Plane Crash in Dallas
In Houston a couple of weeks ago it looked like they had the big boys (B-17, C-47, etc.) at one altitude and the fighters and trainers about twice as high as the big boys. A couple of times the Me-262 and P-51 buzzed down to the same altitude as the B-17, but with a lot of lateral separation. Today's incident looks to me like the P-63 got out of position and low, was trying to get back to his place in the formation, and misjudged his location relative to the B-17. But what do I know? I'm just an interested observer with no flying experience. The FAA report will tell the tale, no doubt.

I believe that my son and I saw both planes at Wings Over Houston a couple of weeks ago. Beautiful birds. My heart breaks for the families.

Ships in port are easier targets. Let's give Ukraine ATACMS so they can hit them.

Sounds like someone doesn't want a reenactment of Texas City or Halifax underneath a certain bridge.

My Grandma would be just like that babushka. Even looks like her.

Lauren Boobert - Tits and a Gun
Thank you. I have been ruminating on how to say exactly this, and you did so more succinctly than anything I was coming up with.

You just gave me a great idea. Thanks.

Looks like an air burst to me. I guess you could liken it to a shot gun blast.

This is a valid point, but I would argue that harnessing chemical reactions to propel projectiles is a more far reaching development. Not only propelling balls, bullets, or shells from barrels, but propelling shrapnel from mines, shells, and bombs. Add using explosives to cause pressure differentials to sink ships and submarines, or to bring down bridges and buildings. Gunpowder was the first step in this line of development, so it gets the credit, but it is not alone.
