History, Politics And Current Affairs

Here’s something that might help cheer you up: starting a thread for Star Trek in Red Dawn +20…

I don’t know about Donatu V, but it’s strongly implied that the Battle of Axanar is in early 2245…

So, who wants to start the thread?

And it started because I noted that something said in 5th Marine Division sounded positively Klingon, then posted the Klingon saying that matched the Marine statement. I found that Klingon saying in the Klingon Bird of Prey Owner’s Workshop Manual, in case anyone is wondering…

Axanar was in 2245…

Do you think we should make a thread for this discussion?

Correction: they scare the shit out of 24th Century Klingons, their ancestors in the 23rd Century (I’m looking at you, Kor) had to learn that fear the hard way… anyway, the ground portion of the Battle of Axanar came down to cold, hard steel, Mameluke sword and officer’s sword and bayonet vs. Bat’le...

5th MarDiv sounds almost Klingon there: ghoSlaHbe’chugh Duj may’ yaH ylchenmoH (If the ship cannot proceed, create a battle station.)

It’s probably a backwater…

Probably as a stopping point for SAC bombers and tankers…

Diego Garcia is a British possession, might I remind you…

And took its lunch money as well…

Gave it a wedgie and stuffed its head in the toilet, too

Then stuffed it in a locker for good measure…

You’re welcome.

You mean prologue, right? An epilogue would be after the end…

Good for Kelly! She’s moving up in the world.

There’s been times when they had to hit something else (and one time they found a SAM site in the middle of setting up and dealt with it while on the way to a prebriefed secondary target)…

I was figuring that Australia was getting the first two dozen A-4Ms off the reopened line, after that, they get replacements as the situation permits, but the initial two dozen were to make sure that the Aussies didn’t need replacement aircraft immediately because they had some on hand. Am I making ...

That the Resistance did their job for them broke the Occupation authorities in that area.

With regard to the Australians and A-4F Skyhawks, has it occurred to the assembled that the USN is going to need every A-4F they can get their hands on for the Essex-class carriers? Besides, the Aussies using the A-4M has been established canon for years now…

Just making sure that it was still canon, and that I remembered correctly. The Trackers and the Tracers are upgraded to turboprop engines and a new radar system during the war.
