Suckers. I've seen enough television to know that 60s-era Chargers can just jump over the customs booth and run from the cops without ever getting caught.

The treaty doesn't explicitly address the possibility of a fight between NATO nations. This issue isn't a new one. There are other NATO countries with historic rivalries and where the potential for war exists. Greece and Turkey are perhaps the most notable examples. Because it is not clearly...

You know you have been in the Army too long when you look at that map and your first thought is "LOL the Americans would be stuck with Meaford and we would be forced to close RMC!"

29 Fd gave up the 25-Pdr in 1957. The Sgts mess in the Sarnia Armouries has a display of some notable casings from the unit's history, which includes the last 25-Pdr round that they fired.

Or even watched a second-rate movie that was filmed with CAF support! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078105/

Don't worry, some Scotsman dealt with him in another fictional universe.

Yes, there have been some technical issues today.

There used to be a joke that the Lubyanka Building (used by the KGB and FSB) was the tallest building in Moscow. "It is so tall you can see Siberia from the basement."

That's a new innovation. Back then, you knew you were in trouble if they were taking you down the stairs. Bad things happened in the basement.

In fairness, at the time the Air Defence was its own branch of service, so that guy (Mathias Rust) humiliated PVO and not the VKS/VVS. In a different time and place, the Soviets would have shot a few people in PVO if a wacko private pilot was able to land in Red Square. Luckily for Marshal...

Or Paths of Glory, The Longest Day...or the guilty pleasure of Kelly's Heroes. The list of bad movies is almost too easy. The Dirty Dozen is awesome; the sequels are not.

I can already imagine the pointless arguments about where the Marines should be in the Order of Precedence - are they Navy, or are they Infantry?

Tommy Lee Jones should stay away from war movies that feature an Iowa class battleship. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/emperor_2012

The Caine Mutiny is close, but that has bootleg strawberries instead of drugs.

Yes - it's a meaningless claim. ICBM or IRBM, velocity in the terminal phase is typically in the range of 5 or more miles per second. A warhead will go from space to impact in just a few seconds.

Is that the real reason you got rid of the Stewards?

True, but "god damn them all" is probably secular enough that it won't draw much opposition.

I have no skin in the game, but my suggestion is the song about a sickening sloop that everyone in the Navy already seems to know.

"I'm from the future. Pierre Trudeau's son is PM, and the guy from The Apprentice is president. The North Koreans are fighting in Ukraine." "Wow, that's crazy." "Also, the Detroit Lions are leading the NFC." "Okay, now I know you are bullshitting me."

I read one assessment that concluded that some of the objects were decoys. These are designed to confuse and draw fire from ABM systems, and aren't required to survive re-entry. I'm not sure if I believe that (it wasn't the best OSINT source), but it is a possibility. If true, the real...
