I got back from a job dodging hatchets flung by hophead midgets in Chinatown to find the Old Man waiting for me.

"Thurby Beffender worked for Pacific Walleye Insurance for seventeen years. The night he was murdered he left with the only key to the company washroom in his pants pocket.  When he was found, dead, he had no pants at all.  Pacific Walleye wants that key."

Although I wasn't strictly working on the murder, I knew the fastest way to get in a dead man's pants is to get right behind his killer. I headed downtown to hear what O'Gee would tell me from the police files.

I'll make my dad waste a weeks' worth of Netflix to order a DVD

Which was an epic film achievement because it got the Krauts to hang swastika banners in Berlin instead of using CGI like Indiana Jones

He did not say "all moderate muslims".  It is certainly true that the extreme "camp in a cave and shoot US marines" has many thousands of "sympathizers". Chickenwingz wants me to know Rauf is a "sympathizer" not a "supporter". As one who remembers the days of "fellow travelers" I recognize a dangerous pattern of hairsplitting.

>>Secondly, American's always overreact. Always. Every time. Without fail. These guys surprise attacked us in Pearl Harbor, killed several thousand people, basically a sucker punch considering what we did back. Ok, let's nuke them with an atomic bomb. These guys in Vietnam are doing what we did to the british! Let's blow up the forest. Et al. American's overreact and 75% of the time, they look back with regret to their actions. <<

33% of America regrets it 100% of the time.  I regret nothing except the degeneracy into "civilization".

  And if you think breaking up Hirohito's Slave Empire was overreacting then go over there and shine shoes with your tongue.  Cause that's the use they had for us.

I'm joking.

They had subjugated Asians for that.

Gaijins weren't even worth keeping as slave labor.

haha that reminds me of the quote from "The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul"

"British pluck" said Dirk. "We used to be proud of it.  During the Blitz, you could go up to a clerk who just lost his daughter to a firebomb and ask for a pack of fags, and all he'd say was 'Filter or no filter sir?'"

"I expect you would, too" muttered a policeman.

>>"the United States Air Force considers the F-22 a critical component for the future of US tactical air power, and claims that the aircraft is unmatched by any known or projected fighter,[2] while Lockheed Martin claims that the Raptor's combination of stealth, speed, agility, precision and situational awareness, combined with air-to-air and air-to-ground combat capabilities, makes it the best overall fighter in the world today"

They said it so it must be true!<<

sending the best overall fighter against the best dogfighter usually means your airfields are going to get bombed

I'm gonna go with the T-50 based on this

btw US air maintenance is a plus in our procurement system.  We have lotsa Air National Guard units, we have more bases than most of the planet put together, and in our air services when you do your combat rotation you serve in grounds crew.  If you don't use all those nice maintenance personnel they would be cut. Cuts in personnel close bases.  Closing bases reduces the number of 2 star generals and costs jobs.  Jobs cost votes.  So few $$$ in maintenace means fewer generals and fewer votes.  Think that will pass instead of a plane that needs TWO engines?
