Change the rules for the National Guard.? by
ArtKramr
How about we fix it so that in case of national emergency the guard goes FIRST
before the regular troops. Great idea huh? Think we would still get everyone
flocking to the National Guard in that case? I know Bush would have been first
in line to join up.. Right?

unit.
By John Greeley

Certainly his military career provides us an...

Question about the F-22 and cost. by
Scott Ferrin
I thought congress put a cap on the program cost and basically said
"this is how much you get for the program, buy however many you can
with it". That being the case why is congress bitching and moaning
about it (not to mention the idiots at POGO) again? If they cost a
billion a pop for the...

"The New Soldier" by John Kerry et al by
Stop SPAM
Apparently John Kerry co-authored a book in 1971 called "The New
Soldier." There seems to be varying differences of opinion about how
much of it he actually wrote (other than his US Senate testimony during
the "Winter Soldier" hearings), but his name is certainly prominently
displayed on the cover...

Ed Majden
The CF-105 Avro Arrow was often referred to as the most advanced
fighter/interceptor of the day. First fly-by-wire, autonomous intercept
capability, etc. Sadly it was cancelled with all proto-types destroyed.
Many of the design engineers headed south and contributed to the American
space program....

Wondering about the F-102... by
Bill McClain
Having read the latest flap about the President's days flying in the
ANG, I wondered what flying the F-102 was like - that's what I'd ask
him if I met him. Back then, before redundant flight-control
computers made the human pilot a voting member of a committee, how
hard was it to control a...

General Patton on Lieutenant Kerry by
S. Sampson
In May 1972, the Boston Phoenix reported that Kerry had defiantly
given his medals back to the U.S. government during one of his many

14 years gone by
Phantom Blot
On 23rd of february 1990 Northrop filed patent D332,080 claiming the
"ornamental design of an aircraft". It was the YF-23. In 2005 the patent
rights will expire. Looking at how poorly is behaving the winning contender
of the ATF competition, I suggest somebody else takes over this original
