Conflict of Interest. It was never turned into a book, so it is still present here. 1941 - Conflict of Interest When I was transcribing all of the material here, there was so much of it that it needed some organization. So I split the stories into 3 categories. 1. The stories less than 10-15 pages a...

"Having a fleet of mobile missiles standing air-borne alert on a Mach 3 CARRIER aircraft would have struck fear......"



Forget the bomber. I want to see how big a carrier they were building to make this possible.

Not enough. The 105mm gun is too big for the desired weight. The amount of armor is too much for the desired weight. The extra crew person probably only accounts for around 500 lbs at most, and an autoloader would weight at least that much. What they needed to do is scale the gun down to something ...

I am starting to lean toward just getting rid of the land based ballistic missile leg of the Triad. 90% of its mission can be performed by the Ballistic missile submarines and they have capabilities that the land-based missiles don't have. Bombers can be the backup to the Navy, and bombers can perf...

Make a s-tank but made of titanium. :D Actually this sort of the question I can in here to ask. How much weight could be saved if we dropped the turret and used an autoloader with only a 2-3 man crew? Which now that I think about it is basically an S-Tank. Not enough. The 105mm gun is too big for t...

Considering that the closest significant ground forces are about 1500 miles away from the Alpine redoubt I don't think there is any chance that Germany would build this up at all. They have MUCH higher priorities.

I see too many people mixing Dark Energy and Dark Matter together. These are two separate and very different effects. Dark Matter is matter that doesn't emit light. We don't yet know what this is yet but we have conclusively measured it's effects. The most compelling evidence for dark matter comes f...

What are you guys willing to bet Musk is going to gut NASA to be the sole provider for US space endeavors? Musk is certainly ruthless enough to do this. However, there is no need for him to do this. SpaceX is over 10 times cheaper to get things into space than the vast majority of his competitors. ...

There's also a lot to the truth that FEMA is dysfunctional on a high level where policy is being made. The lower levels are doing what they can, but suffer from inconsistent directives from above, an incoherent data management and entry system, and damage categorizations that don't make any sense. ...

Personally, as the selfish American here I would rather GB focused on their Navy and Air Force and let their Army wither somewhat of the 3. I don't think you have the economy to fully support all 3 so I rather you focus on what you have historically been great at. Besides the Navy and the Air Force ...

For your viewing pleasure, I present the Squirrel Olympics.

Trump is only projecting on Harris what he did as President, when he misappropriated FEMA funds. FEMA also has several different funds for different purposes and they are by law prevented from shifting fuinds from one pool to another precisely to combat abuses and corruption. Yopu may want to ask t...

Yopu may want to ask the Republicans in Congress why FEMA is not fully funded to deal with the disasters of Helene and Milton, because every single Republican there voted against funding it just before the hurricanes hit. This is false. The Republicans in the state of Florida voted against the bill...

Top. Men.

Facepalm!!! What the heck is wrong with me? How did I and a few other members of this board totally miss this obvious setup.

I prefer an old British friend's version of this. He called July 4th the day we got rid of those smelly tax cheats. laugh.

And another naming convention goes out the window. The only name that has been selected that was lucky was CONSTELLATION. The rest have been fairly undistinguished, if not outright unlucky, which is probably why we haven’t had a LAFAYETTE, CHESAPEAKE or CONGRESS in a long while. Look on the bright ...

Thanks for sharing that. It was nice to read about something positive for a change. I personally am getting sick of the Media almost entirely showing bad news. Or Stories about owning the deplorables\owning the Libtards. If we can occasionally look past the culture wars for a moment I think people m...
