Lately, I've heard at USAF OTS that they are no longer allowed to yell at OTs. So now someone in enlisted told me that these guys now have "stress" cards that they can flash when they are nervous? Is this true? -- Hilary Duff is an international heartbreaker. "FAILING = Finding An Important...

For those who think it woudl have been such a wonderful idea to invade, I call up the image of the Battle Of Berlin. One source states: *Berlin’s fate was sealed, but the resistance continued. Fighting was heavy, with house-to-house and hand-to-hand combat. The Soviets sustained 305,000 dead; the...

The Czech cabinet decided Wednesday to select new SAAB/BAe JAS 39C Gripen 4th Generation Multirole jetfighters as replacement over their MIG-21 fleet. The Swedish offer outbid 4 other contenders, with the US offer of used F-16's ending in last place, the Belgian F-16 offer came...

The F-16 is a very popular airplane. I'm just curious who has copies of the source code to the plane and it's radar, etc. Obviously the USAF does, but do the Israeli, the Belgians, or anyone else? -Thanks

I haven't wasted even a second bothering to read any of the messages in those threads, but I just have a couple of questions: 1. Who gives a **** whether or not it was truly justified? What person living today can say they really had jack **** to do with an executive decision made nearly 60 years...

Totally Off Topic for RAM, posted there out of habit Briefcase and Me I first met Briefcase in 1969. I was a new Ensign, assigned as Disbursing Officer on a new ship being constructed in New Orleans. We were set up in dingy offices on a rickety old pier on the West Bank, hosted by the Eighth...

Since the Americans were still flying the SR-71 on missions into the early 90's I'd have to day you are wrong. "R420" wrote in message ... I for one think that the SR-71 has not only been replaced, but its replacement...

JMO: The only issue about the Nagasaki and Hiroshima is if it is justifiable in war to one child in the hopes that more children will be saved overall and/or if a single soldier is more valuable than a single child. A basic morality question. To me, its a question of responsibility. I...

We fly two missions again today. No losses. The sky is once more full of C-47's and parachutes as the 101st continues to be resupplied. The C-47's will fly over 5,000 missions before the battle is over. The men of the 101st await Xmas Eve deep down in their frozen foxholes clutching their K...

I see we have that old problem again about if "it" should have been used or not.. Well I did some research. I checked over the wanted adds in papers from Ca to Wa for Oct and Nov 1941. I did not see any adds from America asking another country to attack us. Ok we got that out of the way, We did...
