  1. Vietnam was such a huge anvil weighing over the heads of my generation. Its fascinating how little I think of it anymore. I started listening to some Grand Funk the other day and the comments in the youtube page for "I'm your captain" were all about the guys who listened to that while they were in country.
  2. Plenty of combat vets from Afghanistan and Iraq since then.
  3. That WH was filled with combat vets. HW Bush was shot down fighting the Japanese, Don Regan fought on Guadalcanal and Okinawa, Vernon Walters was a combat liaison with the Brazilian expeditionary force in Italy. It was a generation that knew the cost of appeasement.
  4. Like Reagan is spinning in his grave over Trump's obedience to Putin. I think metaphorically we could power a couple aircraft carriers on the energy from the spinning motion.
  5. The words of Aussie journalist Chris Ullmann after that first Trump G20 Summit are still ringing in my ears. I've played that video so many times since. I posted at least twice on the old site and at least once here. I will also never forget Trump in Helsinki siding with Putin in the press conference.
  6. Trump defiantly demanding people pay their bills is just a piece of the theater of the absurd.
  7. Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham are both fighting to be the Sec State by defending this betrayal of our allies.
  8. I mean, if you actually don't care about the outcome as much as you would as a casual NFL fan...it was perfect.
  9. This totally.
  10. The Nickelodeon broadcast from Bikini Bottom was the perfect way to appreciate this year's SB. Patrick Starr losing his mind during the final 2 minutes and during overtime was amazing.
  11. I really enjoyed the positivity of season 2. The ending was sort of contrived situation comedy 101 stuff but i'll forgive that.
  12. I'm wondering how Masters of the Air is being received by johnny six pack out there. Its been pretty good from my optic as a student of airpower history. Various WWII podcasts i listen to have been doing supporting stuff around the show. Learning a lot of things I wasn't quite aware of even with what I consider a grad school level of awareness of the combined bomber offensive.
  13. Trump ****ting on NATO and praising Putin, Orban and XI well,the World is noticing. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68268817 GOP you will rue this. And i'm here to make sure you do.
  14. I'll bet its something something that encourages a horse race that gooses ratings in an election year rather than those damning stories.
  15. Or, will Elon Musk selling Starlink terminals via the gulf states to the Russians?
  16. Will Trump's invitation for Russia to invade Ukraine and his negation of Article 5 be the #1 story all over the morning press shows? I sure hope it is.
  17. And everyone's kid is made gay along with the frogs by bud light.
  18. We survived Hitler, the Soviets and Al Qaida. The United States is still a beacon of hope for the World. Even if the idioligarchs appear hell bent on driving the entire thing into a bridge abutment.
  19. Screw Trump and all who sail in her.
  20. Ugh on Clinksdale leaving. Hope we can find the next generation soonest
  21. Looks like Martindale got the DC job.
  22. I saw some Michigan fan tweet about "what is Stephen Ross doing?" and i'm like...screw these f'in billionaires as saviors. Of course they do have the ability to change the World with their eyebrows. What if our billionaires suck? What if they want to replace the dollar with bitcoin? What if they want everyone to change their underwear twice a day and insist that it be worn on the outside so we can check?
  23. According to Sam on the Mgoblog roundtable today, he says that NIL money cannon was being deployed to keep the dudes in Ann Arbor. Apparently, there is a lot of effort from other programs to poach.
