Not shot, but Article 15 and Court Martial with dishonorable discharge. I couldn’t care less about his political beliefs, but this dumbass worked for me in Iraq in 2019. I probably saved his arse from being fired and sent home by our 1-star at least 4 times. He was a moron then and this stupid stunt shows he’s a moron now.

Thanks for posting that picture.

That's a really old picture (circa 2014 or so) and that nose art has since been changed. A/C 60-0061 was rebranded to "Man-o-War II" since then. Naming it the "Spirit of Aggieland II" was a stunt perpetrated by several in the leadership chain at the time who were Aggie grads. It was extremely unpopular outside of the cult crowd of Aggie sycophants.

I am well versed in OPSEC and nothing I’ve posted crosses that line. All is public information.

How are the bros doing. I know it was a rough few weeks back in '08.

Most are still in shock and wondering what could have gone so catastrophically wrong to cause a crash right after takeoff. For all it's brutish handling characteristics, the BUFF is a "go oriented" aircraft and usually if there's enough lift to get off the ground, there's also enough smash to "zoom" the aircraft to pull up to give everyone a chance to get out (even manual bailouts for those not in ejection seats). Not second guessing the crew, just curiosity and shock.

Hopefully this wasn't the recently re-engined one.

No, that’s not in flight test yet. But it was the one with the new AESA radar.

are you still there?

Yes, but I’m retired.

Yes they still have ejection seats, but my source tells me no one ejected from this.

I see you posted the scriptures which favor your position, but there are scriptures which challenge that position. My favorite is John 20:17-18: "Jesus said, 'Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.' Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: "I have seen the Lord!" and she told them that he had said these things to her." So, Mary Magadlene was chosen by Jesus himself to be the first human to deliver the Good News.

Here are a few more from the New Testament regarding this issue.

Galatians 3:28: "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."

Acts 2:17: "In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy..."

Romans 16:1-2: "I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a deacon of the church in Cenchreae. I ask you to receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of his people and to give her any help she may need from you, for she has been the benefactor of many people, including me.

Romans 16:3-4: Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my co-workers in Christ Jesus. They risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them.

Romans 16:7: Greet Andronicus and Junia, my fellow Jews who have been in prison with me. They are outstanding among the apostles, and they were in Christ before me.

Romans 16:12: ...Greet my dear friend Persis, another woman who has worked very hard in the Lord.

Acts 18:26: ...When Priscilla and Aquila heard him (Apollos, a learned man with thorough knowledge of the Scriptures), they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately.

Philippians 4:2-3: I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord. Yes, and I ask you, my true companion, help these women since they have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are in the book of life.
