Trump!
Mr. Trump, meet Mr. Biden. You have something in common
Yeah, other than both being President ‘way later in life than they should have. President Biden was notable for always bringing his family into things. Who hasn’t heard of his wife and daughter killed by a drunk truck driver? (He wasn’t and it was their fault.) His son who died of cancer in Iraq (well, […]
BDAs not looking good
I saw BennSue and SFC D’s comments about us not covering the Iran strikes – I think if you check TAH on 6 B’2s I think you’ll find that our trusty commenters did their usual great job of commentary. Been interesting since then – Iran lobbed some missiles at Israel, some more at our facilities in Qatar, […]
Saturday Shorts. Happy Birthday, Army? Ya don’t look a day over 150!

The MK22 Precision Sniper Rifle is a multi-caliber […]

From West Point: That includes the first two women in West Point history to complete Diver School; cadets Megan Cooper and Clara Sebu. Where are you? […]
Trump gets 747, reportedly not a “gift”
The Defense Department has released a statement that the famous Qatari 747 has been accepted by the government, presumably to serve as Air Force One. Mr. Trump purportedly dislikes that the current two planes in use as AF1 are older vintage 747s nearing the ends of their usable lifespans. The unprecedented $400 million gift, which […]
The dumbassery of a 747
Hopefully life won’t overtake this – I am traveling this weekend so writing is taking place early. We’ll see if what I do Tuesday lasts till Friday! Oh, Lord, everyone is making noise about Qatar’s gift of a luxo 747 to serve as Air Force One. Trump is hailing it as a wonderful gift: “So […]
Thursday tidbits
The White House says President Trump has backed off renaming Veteran’s Day to “Victory Day for World War I” . While technically, at least historically speaking, he was correct – the holiday started out as Armistice Day for the cease-fire ending at the 11th minute of the 11th hour on November 11, 1918 – the […]
