Which is better? Which one says "yeah...that's badass!"

 

Above you see the Marine Corps new commercial....below is the Army's. Which one makes you say that "that shit is badass"????

Let's take my readers out of it.  Let's say you're 21 sitting on your couch playing playstation/x-box all day.  Smoking weed/drinking beer, playing grab ass with friends and jacking off.  You lack direction and have visions of glory dancing thru your head cause you just played Call Of Duty and watched whatever action flick for the 40th time (John Wick type shit).

Which one grabbed your attention?

Which organization appealed to your dreams?

These weren't made for me.  My time is done.  I wonder which one is working for today's youth. I wonder how Marine Corps recruiting is doing with this new direction?  They picked a good time to experiment though.  The Corps is about to have a self imposed drawdown so pressure on recruiters should be down .... they're going for nerds now instead of knuckle draggers.....the Army though...they still like brutes!

If Trump loses does Pence take over the top of the Republican Party? What happens to "never Trumper-ers"?

 Wondering about the questions in the title.  What do you guys think?  Especially curious is what happens to the anti-Trump Republicans?

They can't stay with the Dems...they'll be purged with a quickness.

They're gonna try and take back the Republican party but I'm sure at least half that party will hate them forever.

So what becomes of those folks?

Russia is knocking Turkish drones from the skies of Armenia?

Logical really, given this approach as noted has worked for Russia in Syria, but also in Ukraine.https://t.co/vNLTj2bbIA

This election is gonna be wild.  Now I see why former President Obama is on the campaign trail so hard for Biden.

There are some strange undercurrents going on here and I can't quite put my finger on it.

Maybe the fact that Biden hasn't been forced to disclose his plans for the country?  Did the left really think it was going to be enough to just be anti-Trump?

In the end it really doesn't matter does it?

Regardless of who wins we're gonna be stuck with some pretty intense drama. Unfortunately I believe 2021 is gonna make 2020 look like a picnic.

CENTAURO II: the new masterpiece of Iveco - Oto Melara Consortium (CIO)

Open Comment Post. 24 Oct 2020

 

Australia's Air Force is set to become the most powerful air arm in the Pacific (pound for pound) with the aid of Boeing's Loyal Wingman

Watch as the #LoyalWingman remotely piloted aircraft taxis down the runway for the first time.
It's another testing milestone for the @BoeingAustralia project, which we’re supporting to explore different concepts for unmanned aerial systems.

Next step will be its first flight. pic.twitter.com/9FGHDO5Am6

This is crazy!  It's a darn shame that the Australians are getting such a big jump on us with this airplane.  It's gonna be a world beater and with it teaming with the Super Hornet will probably be more lethal than any other combo flying today. 

The crazy thing?

They aren't even playing with the thing yet!  Imagine loading up one with a wing full of missiles.  Another with jamming pods.  A third acting as a scout with AESA blasting away...all while being trailed by a Super Hornet playing point guard directing the action.  Why the basketball instead of football comparison?  Because on the court every player can score.  In this mythical package every plane can shoot and kill.  Even the AESA variant playing the scout can use its radar in the electronic attack role.  Killing electronics might be just as important as blasting apart structures!

I like what they're doing.

We should have beat them here but we didn't.  

I guess we can take comfort in knowing that they're our allies and not another foe.
