British Apache's at sea.



NAVAIR looked at the possibility of just creating an instant navalized Apache just by designation.

Unfortunately.  It doesn't work that way.

Aviastar has the best information on the web concerning the work necessary to make an Apache into a proper weapon at sea.  Forces like the Brits might be content to pay the price (and they will pay with aircraft having shorter life spans due to sea salt) but pay it they will.  Check out the article at AVIASTAR to get more info on a properly navalized Apache.


Mr. President I'm tired of defending you...SNAFU! Politics.



SNAFU! considers this coming election to be the most important in a COUPLE of generations.  So stand by to be reminded of the painful reality that comes with a left wing party being given power.  Also understand that this goes beyond race, nationality, gender or religious beliefs.  This goes straight to competence.  Also understand that my personal politics are more in the Ron Paul camp than those of the Republicans but reality (yeah that pesky little thing) indicates that I must support the lesser of two evils.  This year that means supporting the Republican cause.

Norway Pre-positioning Program...easy cost savings.

Humvees are stored inside the Frigaard Cave in central Norway. The cave is one of six caves that are part of the Marine Corps Prepositioning Program-Norway, which supports the equipping of Marine Expeditionary Brigade consisting of 15,000 Marines and with supplies for up to 30 days.

This one should be a no brainer.

Europe doesn't need us there.

We don't have the money to waste there.  Time to pull gear and close up shop.  That goes for all bases on European territory...from Norway all the way to Diego Garcia.  If we're not wanted (and we're not) then bring our troops home.

5-20 Infantry Regiment doing its thing...with long range firepower on patrol.

U.S. soldiers from 5-20 infantry Regiment attached to 82nd Airborne walk on patrol in Zharay district in Kandahar province, southern Afghanistan April 26, 2012.


I don't know the designation for the sniper rifle that the Soldier is carrying but to see not only that weapon but I would assume their designated Marksman right behind him seems unusual.  Wonder whats going on in this part of the country.

On patrol... in every clime and place.



British insanity over their carriers.



Wow.

The Brits are definitely confused.

The most powerful political ad this year.



This is the most powerful political ad I've seen this year.  Even the President's most fevered supporters are left speechless after watching this...the Morning Joe pair were left clawing for words.  I consider that priceless.  Anyway, I'm sure you've seen it, but drink it all in again...and wonder how you're going to vote this fall.
