Re: After The Last Full Measure (AU)
Beetle was a little before her time, she graduated high school in 1983. By then almost all of the Beetles in the typical Southern California student lot were Baja Bugs and were usually driven by male students with a C- or lower GPA. The typical domestic shitbox compacts were Pintos, Vegas, and Chev...

Not a horrible decision, and probably a good name for a ship.

Re: British Army Order of Battle
The CAT competitions were totally unrealistic and a lot of countries cheated. Yes, in Richard Kent’s Challenger 1 book he delves into that. U.S. Army team was caught taking pictures and videos of the range, etc. Or was it an unofficial competition in the area of scouting/reconnaissance missions? Be...

Re: 80 Years Ago This Very Moment.....
By this time... the LGOPs are raising hell. And 82 years ago, on this day, Richard Fleming would be KIA at Midway, receiving only the Medal of Honor awarded for valor during that battle. https://www.historynet.com/richard-fleming-midway/ https://www.wearethemighty.com/mighty-history/battle-of-midway...

Re: Kuwait Armed Forces
Another great addition, thank you Matt and James! I'm very curious about the BMP and M-84 units: are the Kuwaiti managed to get spares straight from USSR and SFRY during the years between 1989 and 2005 or had they obtained by third-party suppliers? Hmm, good question. If I had to guess, I'd say M-8...

Hey, folks. Got some bad news today. Chappy Sinclair passed away last night. He was one hell of a mentor for me, Matt, and Doug Masters. No word on the funeral, but there are plans for a fly-by of F-16s and F-20s - including the missing man formation.

Re: The Vaults of Heaven (AU)
COL/BGEN Pete Frazier is the one who really needs to be on the hot seat. Cartwright goes under the principle of command responsibility, but Frazier's the guy who really messed up.
