Honestly external auditing to me should be a requirement. I don’t think that any department should randomly be targeted for reductions. China just refused a very similar amount of beef from Argentina that had ‘an unhealthy amount of heavy metals’ Now seeing Chinese health standards that...

‘Change’ being made was a significant period of time. I remember imperial rulers early In school, the first metric/imperial ruler in school was for me grade 4, circa 1979/80. I remembered the speed limit sign changes / but I had to google the actual dates. I never realized how dragged of...

Also appropriate for the US Military (well other than the sea going folks).

Ask him for his engineering qualifications as a naval architect…

Except maybe you and @Oldgateboatdriver should contemplate something. 1) If everyone is entitled to America, then it should be no big deal if someone renames Lake Ontario right? This is inclusivity in action right :cautious: - in a weird and bizarre way The Declaration of Independence...

You do. It just isn’t being accessed - and the cost of access is pretty high currently.

ThunderDome -- 2 men enter, I man leave.

Critical Minerals is definitely not a joke, there is a strong desire down here to tie them up -- or at least ensure that China cannot get a stake in them. I suspect that simply from a national security standpoint Canada would want something similar -- and frankly I see a way to work this into a...

I suspect that a lot of these sorts of tests are being done to see what can be done to make the XM-30 MICV a “battle ready” vehicle from the get go. The M2A4 Bradley is pretty much EOL for the line. It already got a larger power pack Cummins V903 ET675 and new transmission, 675hp up 75 from...

The fact that the UN (or anyone else) has sat by while Russian companies have been gobbling up Africa for over a decade - openly flouting weapon embargoes - is appalling. The monies that Russia pulls out of Africa are increasing and can offset a lot of the losses of its domestic energy sector...

Keep in mind how well the Gulf of America faired.

It was the American Colonies before the States - so “of America” isn’t a secondary afterthought. Initial it was THESE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA , as a union of individual states- after the civil war it generally became THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - singular with Federal supremacy...

Sort of want them to work against all the required threats. Which they don’t. There are still Stingers. The supply is not exhausted. But you are touting concepts that do not work against the threat requirements. Sure it’s great to be cheap, but if you can only engage 1 of the 4...

You are missing the major pieces of MDTF’s and the Higher Level MD aspects if you focus around a missile Many able, few willing Realistically one could organize the CA Reg and PRes into more than one Corps — which means Army Group in terms of formation But if you aren’t using it as...

Beg to differ

There is not currently the capability to do that much LPI Data The Infantry soldier carries anywhere from 75-145lbs on their body depending on country and role. Carrying more stuff is getting to be a non starter. I put to you that a USMC Squad could be given something like a Switchblade...

No loss, the world is a better place without him. I would argue that CTV is however incorrect, as the worst massacre in Europe since WW2 is still occurring in Ukraine, and Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin is the leader of that. The world would also be a much better place with out VVP

The unspoken aspect of this is that for some reason, it is apparently the American military that needs to provide Missile Defense for Europe? -- Don’t get me wrong, I think the war in Iran is being horribly prosecuted. I am also super confused by the excessively high rate of Anti Ballistic...

I think you miss that Artillery (Cannon or Rocket) needs to be setback from the Forward Edge (and I don’t know if we call it the FEBA or Forward Edge of Sensor Dominance, or Edge of the A2AD or...) So your 155mm with 100km range probably have 60km of stuff past the Forward Edge Also it is...

I would say that even prior to Yevgeny Prigozhin’s demise, that Vladimir Putin had gambled that by outing Wagner (and the incredibly convoluted network of crisscrossed business networks) as part and parcel of the GRU, that the west would do nothing. The book I mentioned elsewhere (Putin’s...
