Any decision on the A-10 retirement yet?

What is Naturalization to you and who gives Naturalization to those who are not Us Citizens This directed at Graham and McCain? just trying to understand this part, since I never brought up the term enemy combatant.What I did bring up before is this. Keep in mind volzj, Holder made that statement when speaking of a us citizen. By no means did the our system work in this case. He was never tried as a terrorist. The conviction you write of only counted for 8 people out of the 168? he killed. Never mind all the others who did not die. That is a working system, for such matters?

I was writing of that specific day/night with the on scene coverage.

All in all, I think they did a good job, specially with how chaotic it was, Not like they could zone in on certain police etc, since there was so many of them, added to that, the shut down/lock down of the areas. To a degree, what I could see as an embarrassment is the lack of Dogs finding him so close to the scene that he ran from specially with blood and must have been powder on him. To put a little humour to it, if he ran down south, the hounds would have found him in as many minutes as it took them to walk to the boat. All day I was yelling, where the heck are the dogs. Did not take

Holder made a statement awhile ago that terrorist do not have constitutional rights. The President when he came on called the act terrorism. I personally hope he is not giving the right to have rights. Luckily "at-least" to this point he has not been giving miranda rights. On a personal level, if he is giving rights, I would consider it a Kick to the face with his age, "depending" on the circumstances. I am a Natural Born Citizen of England and America. What this means and meant to America is. "As a child" I had the right of both citizenship's when it comes to American law, "Till Adult

Did they ever go through with the upgrades for things like JDAMs being used internally? Knew it was in test and development, tho not sure if it made it to the field.

My two cents tho it is a generic statement. Our system needs to define what terrorism is and or define what they mean by political when it comes to things like domestic terror and these type of things "if" domestic, should the terrorist still have certain rights in the criminal system. Other statement,, When it comes to a mass of people, I really wish those who are supposed to deal with safety would actually think of safety and reaction time. Things like construction scaffolding and wooden picket fence snow/sand barriers are not exactly safety/reaction time friendly.

USAF grounds 17 combat squadrons
Wayne S replied to Lt Col James Rhodes's topic in General Discussion
There technically is no 2013 Budget, Yes they have figures which they ask, need. The Budget which the USAF asked for, was 5 percent lower then the Budget they got, since the Budget that was asked for never made it through congress. Another words, For half the year the USAF had 5 percent more then they expected to get. Sequestration=s a cut that "Includes that 5 percent" By your own figure, For this half of the year, the actual cut would be 3 percent from the Budget the USAF wrote they needed. If one wanted to factor in the Budget they got to the end of the year, For the entire year they s -

Times the bold by 7.5, that would be close to cost for the CV-22B. -

When it comes to flight hours, one has to look at the cost per aircraft type etc. A C-17 cost less per hour then those small VIP birds do, believe it or not. Can almost get 2 hours out of an F-16 for the price of one hour for a F-15. F-16 cost per hour is close to the Cost per hour of an C-17. That little stint with those two B-2s that flew to South Korea ate up a lot of cost for flight hours, they are the most expensive aircraft per flight hour. Interesting thought wile on the subject, Cost per flight hour for an Osprey is more then an F-22. Would have to put thought into this, My -

We have a system that can be implemented to lesson the strength of the evil ones against the USA. Open up trade and sell as much fast fattening food "cheap cheap" to said countries. They need a bag of rice, give them 20,000Lbs of 8000 calorie burgers. -

To be honest bud, I am way more worried about the weather these days then getting nuked by a vast missile system and or subs sitting off our coast. -

My thoughts tell me, They will provide Close Air Support with assets who are to be deployed, "NOT" with assets that "just came back from deployment" or assets "that will not deploy anytime soon". -
You will get a kick out of this one Holmes. My wife's thing is, Purses. Here is one of her "Operation Covert Sale" ones. It is one of them flip color deals to boot. In sunlight etc. It looks gold. If one looks, can see the gold tint from the camera flash. mine

A war budget, is not part of the DOD's Budget, there is a good reason for that. Tho, the DOD does have a nice little piggy bank/ Funds put aside that could be looked at as a war budget. They got 5 percent more for half that fiscal year you write of, then their Budget asked for. The other half was "supposed" to be cut by 3 percent. Do the Math. LOL. As luck would have it The Bastardized/sloppy version you think is English, is, in fact, my second Language.

It is not a conspiracy, it is reality. You write of training and a few squadrons. If a budget is cut by a percentage, then a percentage of classes and other things like squadrons etc. Would be cut or closed, correct? after all it is a percentage of a budget. In around about way knowingly or not. What you are implying is,,, museums, airshows and the like, are not budgeted items, since there is no percentage of that budget gone, it is an entirety. If they are not Budgeted items, where does the money come from? Indulgences? they come after a budget is used. Fudging numbers of another Budget?

Pictures are from over there. My guess on the gear down had to do with airspeed and alt. Logical guess is, it was a flyover for our troops in the area.

Trooper fired for NOT writing a speeding ticket
Wayne S replied to 11bee's topic in General Discussion
If one reads between the lines, The person was not left off the hook. The person got a citation, Which I am sure the person is really pist off at, "Not the fact the person did not get a speeding ticket", since said person "still got a ticket and still had to sit on the side of the road for an amount of time". It was a way to get back at the officer. Lets not forget, The system we are writing about is most likely a DMV "Traffic Court" BS. -

Technically it is a spacer inside the Ejector "C". The ejector does not clamp onto the missile. The below AIM-120, looks like it was ejected from the port/left rear station.

Wayne S replied to 11bee's topic in General Discussion
If police officers did not have discretion, our court system would fail and technically our system/ way of life would collapse. Picture what would happen if cops "must" follow laws to a T. Few silly instances? Cop going to a shootout multiple Victims. Officer turns on lights, heads to the scene, a person does not pull over to let him by. He would then need to stop the person, who did not pullover, since they broke a law. Officer would never get to the scene. What would the difference be between a teen stealing a 5 cent candy running from an officer, and a Teen who committed armed robbery -

Wayne S replied to 11bee's topic in General Discussion
This is not a April fools deal? The person got a fine/citation for something, no clue how that is letting a person off the hook, That is technically dropping the fine/charges to the lesser degree which happens every day In courts, never mind a police officer using their own discretion on what to charge/ fine a person for :unsure:/> -
LAU-118/A for AGM-88

It was a C not an A, 493rd used AIM-120C's If His aircraft did not have Aim-7s on the forward fuselage stations, I would be surprised. Common load out, (2) Aim-7 on forward fuselage stations, (2) AIM-120"C" on rear fuselage stations. (2) AIM-9 on inboard wing stations, (2) AIM-120"C" on outboard wing stations.
