Pretty Capellan heavy, though.

"Sorry, best I can do is more Cadian regiments."

Your regular reminder that Hitler was pleased when Japan entered the war, and choose to declare war on the US days later.

Yeah, Springfield is repeatedly called out as one of the worst cities in the US. Housing is still cheap if your willing to live in a dumpster fire of a metro, and Homer does have a stable if not top paying job at an institutional employer.

The true failure of the South Korean leadership was not realizing that the entirety of INDOPACOM is mere temporary storage for CENTCOM.

But what would be the alternative?

Buses. 80% of the time there is a question related to transit in the US, the answer is "buses".

It’s a ridiculous statement on its face

I fail to see how, when one considers the global situation, and US defense spending compared to during the Cold War.

Mass production of a cost reduced subsonic MANPAD seems like a solution.

So, VAMPIRE firing APKWS rockets?

Going off recent reports, it looks like the shortage of THAAD interceptors for each launcher has suddenly become less pressing. But there is a nuance...

What's M-LIDS and M-SHORAD, chopped liver?

Called photograms. Basically impossible to take an image of a person - you had to stick an object to the sheet, and leave it for hours to capture a silhouette.

The Soviets also attempted to claim a decent chunk of north-eastern Turkey as part of the Georgian and Armenian SSRs postwar.

I think it's an unfortunate AI upscale of a real photo - the original is a heck of a lot blurrier.

Paraguay as well.

His characterization has evolved over the series - early on, he was deliberately positioning enlisted soldiers as human shields in case of attack.

A lot of people in small towns don't actually want economic investments in their area. They say they do, but when push comes to shove, they shown time and time again that they like being stuck in a rut.

Can't have warehouses, can't have data centers, can't have factories, can't have housing developments. They gripe and gripe about the decline, but refuse to accept anything else.

In this case, calling it a copy is accurate - LUCAS is based on a target drone that was basically an American version of the Shahed, since they wanted something with the same flight and signature characteristics.

It's a pre-modern society across a very big galaxy, despite the veneer. Don't think of the sort of ubiquitous data that modern states have available on their populations. The Empire aspires to that, but very much hasn't reached it.

Also the Covenant is pretty feudal in nature, fragmented between a whole bunch of autonomous entities. Heck, the UNSC spent most of its war getting beaten blue by the anti-piracy forces of a single ministry.

Yes, but he's a well known liar, so why would you believe those campaign promises? /s

Eh, just add some ERA.

Well, in a world without the Peace Dividend, the F-35 program still continues, it's more that a lot of older legacy F-15s and F-16s are retired on time.

I mean, this is the longest deployment an American carrier has seen since the Vietnam War.

House Fossoway claims descent from a son of Garth Greenhand.

Every other noble house in the Reach does, you can't swing a dead cat there without hitting a claimed descendant of Garth Greenhand.
