@Tribul82come@NavyVet Plenty of other things to criticize AOC (champagne socialist who has enjoyed pretty privilege most of her adult life) for; no need to lie when the truth is sufficient.
@Tribul82come@NavyVet The "youth" comment is more in the abstract. Even if this were real, it would be neither excessively inappropriate nor anything that a bajillion other kids didn't do horsing around when young.
@Tribul82come@NavyVet 1) Probably fake
2) Who cares, enjoy your youth while you have it. You are going to die.
3) While AOC is definitely politics-hot overall, her calves are NOT her strong suit, and the woman pictured has reasonably toned calves
@DisgruntledPat1@Freedom250 I mean, Plan Z died with the Third Reich, so I can understand the West German Luftwaffe deprioritizing it relative to the RN.
Yak argument still stands (ducted fan)
@DisgruntledPat1@Freedom250 This method of vertical lift has more in common with the blyatnik Yak-38 than it does the Harrier
Also, guess which Continental engineering autists were also seriously experimenting with V/STOL around the same time the Harrier was being developed....
@ScottMGreer Not surprising. DC residents of all stripes were out braving the heat today and generally being decent to one another, and enjoying the airshow.
It pays to touch grass, we're all gonna die someday.

A Korean tourist, too, would likely have had a positive experience.
Your secular religion demands that ppl subordinate their intuition and instead shout that the Emperor's raiments are radiant. Tiresome
