About French cowards. by
Michael Smith
Damn good post.
France actually does help the US - the only non-US planes to drop bombs in
Afghanistan were French, and the US now uses a French base in Djibouti. The
difference between the french and the Brits is that France offers help on
its own terms, while the Brits are basically...

Instructors: is no combat better? by
ArtKramr
Since I started this thread on instructors who have have combat experience
versus those who have not, 100% of the replies were in favor of instructors who
have never been to combat. Many state that they would rather have an instructor
who was skilled at instructing suggesting that once you have...

Future military fighters and guns - yes or no ? by
championsleeper
Hi,
I'm interested in canvassing opinions regarding the inclusion of a gun
on future military aircraft. If you listen to some of the blurb out

need for a gun....

Hiroshima/Nagasaki vs conventional B-17 bombing by
zxcv
Since the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs were about 10 kilotons and a B-17 had
a normal bomb load of about 3 tons and I have heard of a formation of 1300
B-17's on a bomb run that would equal around 4 kilotons (3 x 1300 = 3900)
would the devastation be the same as a small A-bomb? or is there...

Bush's Attempt to Usurp the Constitution by
WalterM140
Today's New York Times:
"The extreme reach of the administration's view that a war president is not
subject to check by the other branches of government was apparent in the
recently disclosed memorandums on torturing prisoners. A Defense Department

Why is Stealth So Important? by
James Dandy
Seems to me like all the modern wars I can remember up from Vietnam
use mostly ordinary fighters and bombers.
I don't understand why such emphasis is put on that stealth stuff when
we use the same old planes from previously.
I still remember when the F-14 and F-15 came out. Don't we still...

German forward swept wing WWII fighter projects. by
Charles Gray
Here's a question-- the Germans had several forward swept wing designs
in the works during WWII.
However, I recall reading that even in the 1980's the strain on the
airframe made such a design very difficult to successfully carry off.

Commanche alternatives? by
John Cook
What will the US use?
There is obviously a operational need for an attack helicopter.
How about licensed production of the Tigre!!
I can't imaging the Apache being current in a very few years, not
without major upgrades...
