re: People are getting tired of Trump and MAGA

Posted by TigersnJeeps on 3/4/26 at 7:41 am to FLTech

is it because Trump only picks winners or because they win because he picks them?

If a voter bases his vote on what Trump (or another politician says), I hope that isn't the only reason....

I have known pilots who have, they don't recommend the experience.

Spinal issues tend to be the result.

Others have raised the issue as well and not just for interceptors....

and given the complexity of today's weapons, spinning up production isn't quick and easy.

from TWZ - $35k

“Costing approximately $35,000 per platform, LUCAS is a low-cost, scalable system that provides cutting-edge capabilities at a fraction of the cost of traditional long-range U.S. systems that can deliver similar effects,” Navy Capt. Tim Hawkins, a CENTCOM spokesperson, told TWZ back in December. “The drone system has an extensive range and the ability to operate beyond line of sight, providing significant capability across CENTCOM’s vast operating area.”

This is the second time in months we've shredded their Chinese designed anti-air defenses. I doubt they see any humor in that.

Question is - how much of the failure is due to the equipment and how much to poorly/insufficiently trained operators?

The War Zone has a piece on possible implications/complications of a US airstrike on Iran.

Items such as 1) what is the goal of the strikes, 2) Israeli involvement, 3) Iran's response through all it's weapons and agents, 4) the shortage of US and Israeli defensive weapons (eg Patriot missiles).

Good read IMO.

They tend to be skeptical of Trump and many commenters are hostile due to his actions (or lack) wrt Ukraine/Russia.

So they have been 1) exposed to the leftwing propoganda longer and 2) often have had to agree with it to receive their degrees - esp the humanities.

you must live a miserable life...

So do you want boomer's to keep working so they continually pay into the systems?

Or do you want them to retire so younger workers can advance?

Or just die?

I suspect the latter...

the YT channel "Bonehead Truckers" has shown the addresses of many of these "companies" and it is an apartment.

Seems many brokers(?) don't even do the basic level of checking that you do....
