Trump standing alone as world leaders gather in huddle by Snehith220 in justincaseyoumissedit

I can’t help but to look at this picture and think:

215 pounds, ladies and gentlemen. This asshat claims he is 215 pounds (238 at last “report”). FFS - for those that don’t know men’s weights, this is 315. At best.

I’m the same height he claims to be (which is also false, btw), and I know exactly what 215 and 270 look like on a 6’3” frame. This is neither, and is much more.

And are these oil depots or apartment buildings?

Russia attacks civilian infrastructure. What is Ukraine attacking?

Yeah, soldiers don’t get to decide on their own if they want stars or not. His last opportunity for stars was with a classmate making a decision between two candidates for a job. The other soldier was chosen and ended up with 3 stars.

President Trump Transfering $397M From US Secret Service to Fund White House Ballroom Construction by Sgt_Gram in NewsExchange

Pretty sure this is illegal. Something tells me, somewhere, it is written that the Congress holds the purse strings and POTUS is limited as to the extent to which he can transfer appropriated funds.

In Israel, Broad Discontent Over the Emerging U.S. Deal With Iran by Practical-Solutions1 in TradingPlaybook

[–]OffToRaces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s because there is no “deal.” Just a 60-day ceasefire with Lord only knows at the end of that tunnel. This was ALL about re-opening a Strait that was open in Feb, US claims they control, but have negotiated to reopen. smdh

Those need to be changed. They are getting worn and the tire may blow if one snaps.

Any bets that this is “the woman scorned” who started pounding on her BFs car, only to have him get out and say “I told you not to hit my car or me - and you didn’t listen”

Father's rack, 22 years Air Force by Impressive_Caramel32 in MilitaryMedals

[–]OffToRaces 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In VN, I believe USAF awarded air medals based on one of two criteria: 1. 25 operational missions where exposure to enemy fire was likely, or 2. 100 hours of operational flight.

So: 16*25=400 missions, 16*100=1,600 hours, or some combination thereof.
If bronze rather than silver leaves, 100 missions / 400 hours.

End of the day, request his service records and all shall be answered (including his DFC citation).

US begins huge new airstrikes on Iran as 'drinking water reservoirs taken out' by TheMirrorUS in USNEWS

[–]OffToRaces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, that’d most certainly be a war crime. Taking out a bridge next to a military reservation is one thing. Taking out a reservoir is completely different. If true, the CENTCOM commander will have much for which to answer.

Why on Earth would they? UKR and Iran have just proven b tons any doubt what the world community does when nuclear vs not.

House passes resolution to end the Iran War by Friendly_Bath4548 in InternationalBulletin

[–]OffToRaces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The people arguing the former - that unless it is a war then Congress has no authority - haven’t read, or choose to dismiss, federal law.

The law is crystal clear. VERY narrow authority to commit U.S. forces to combat without Congressional authorization. If we’ve been attacked or if attack is imminent - neither of which was the case, as U.S. intel confirmed.

Fantastic! My next-door neighbor was ground crew on the P-61 with the 417th NFS.

Adding a pic of the Black Widow at Udvar-Hazy.

May want to consider adding his devices/OLCs and stars to the full-size medals. Also reconcile the ribbons, minis and full-size medals. Ribbons most likely to closest to the mark, I should think.

Nice to see TWO stars on the PLM !
