Gotta hand it to the Marxists' discipline and work ethic.
They created an incredibly-complex latticework of nonprofits with which to launder money, attack federal agents, subvert the constitution, relentlessly subsume idiot college kids to the hivemind, and destroy the American Experiment.
Meanwhile, their extremist counterparts on the Right are busy bleating about the Joooooos murdering Charlie Kirk, slandering his widow, taking paid work trips to Russia, fashioning themselves as microphone EOD techs, and screaming into the monetized void of their own podcasts.
@A10jsg@johnkonrad If you’re A-10 OT, glad you still have a job. I helped certify MALD. You should know better than anyone the cost of retrofitting new capes on 3rd/4th gen. $ better spent on capes for hard scenarios (not DE44B).
Thats ALR theory. Not how it works in practice.
@A10jsg@johnkonrad You’re describing CFACC choosing the MQ-9 over the A-10. Glad we agree. And being “equipped” is a long weekend in OT. More reasons:
1. Range - where the tankers at??
2. Time to overhead - the MQ-9 is ALWAYS airborne w/ virtually no ALR decision to make.
It’s too easy
@A10jsg@johnkonrad A CFACC will fly them line abreast over SAMs before they accept the higher ALR of a manned fighter. Seen it. You know why Sandy remains an A-10 qual? No other community wants it. You don’t have anything special anymore. MQ-9s please.
@A10jsg@johnkonrad Let me rephrase. It’s not better at beating the scenarios the 66th creates. It will be better in combat bc it will be chosen over the A-10 for a myriad of reasons. Full stop.
