It absolutely pissed down

Launches?!!

This is so good.

No. The front falling off?

Is that normal?

Had one the other day “I’m not available. If it’s urgent - call the office”. No indication as to what office, where, what number to ring.

Why isn’t Trump in the middle? Somebody’s for a deportation.

Good lord I found it. From a Facebook status update years ago proving I have always been a very boring man.

This is the last thing the BBC needs

Don’t worry, they won’t. I’m still paying.

Jesus almighty fucking Christ

How America and China spooked each other As officials meet in London, the costs of their trade war are now abundantly clear

The world's stupidest trade war, incompetently executed. Chinese "exports have risen by 6% overall, owing to increased shipments to Europe and South-East Asia. China’s currency, meanwhile, is stronger now against the dollar than it was before April 2nd." www.economist.com/finance-and-...

The US official histories have some wonderful stats - I have forgotten the figure (again) but you can learn how many steel bowls for washing were accepted by the Army for example.

I am sure I have seen some similar stats in the US official histories. And I remember this because they were the exact opposite of this - I was struck by how few rounds a day tanks fired on average. Sorry I can’t be more specific my memory has failed me but good hunting!

How does that work in a finite spending envelope? If they want more and get more doesn’t that then ruin the settlements of the other depts?

Paying your stamp.

With stock photo of the one type of strategic bomber not touched in the attack….

Didn’t even need to be HAS for this particular attack.

Well? Can you?

Well. This is shit. Anyone know a service that does similar?

Chapter 1 A Warrior The object of war is not to die for your country, but to make the other dumb bastard die for his. General George Patton In July 1944, a young dentist named Captain Ben Salomon landed on the island of Saipan. When the doctor for 2d Battalion, 105th Infantry was wounded by a mortar, Captain Salomon volunteered to take his place. After all, there was little dental work required in battle. 2nd Battalion pushed north through the island's muggy jungles. When they found Japanese fighters hidden in the network of limestone caves. they drove them out.

I see FM 1-0 is off to a smashing start

That is one of the dumbest quotes. The purpose of war is not to kill, the purpose of war is to get your adversary to do what you want, via battles and campaigns that involve killing

The US Army can’t see the war for the battles.

And we’re not warriors.

A hugely important moment in European nuclear deterrence: Macron openly talking about US-style nuclear sharing arrangements, with French bombs deployed in allied countries.

They’re hardly alone

Exclusive: Pakistan's Chinese-made jet brought down two Indian fighter aircraft, US officials say A top Chinese-made Pakistani fighter shot down at least two Indian military aircraft on Wednesday, two U.S. officials told Reuters, marking a major milestone for Beijing's advanced fighter jet.

US officials confirm India lost at last two planes. “A top Chinese-made Pakistani fighter plane shot down at least two Indian military aircraft on Wednesday, two U.S. officials told Reuters, marking a major milestone for Beijing's advanced fighter jet.” www.reuters.com/world/pakist...

Henry VIII be like…

NDTV, an Indian news channel, is reporting that India used SCALP cruise missiles (essentially identical to the UK Storm Shadow) & Hammer smart bombs (a JDAM-type weapon) fired from French-made Rafale jets. That would fit with the depth of the targets over the border/line of control.

F18s just don’t want to live anymore
