Why All The German/Nazi Threads?
Is this a World War II newsgroup or what?
Why can't anyone talk about at least modern military aviation? I, for one, would like to see more discussions on the F-22, F-35, Eurofighter, Rafale, JAS 39 Gripen, Su-47, MiG MFI, or any other new aircraft. My son bought a toy Su-47 today and asked me if Russia will ever accept it as their new air superiority fighter. I honestly don't know- does anyone here? That's what this newsgroup should be here for, not a trip down memory road arguing with nazi sympathizers, apologists, and such. I suggest we all ignore such posts and get back to our roots. BGX

Seriously...we even entertain the questions and comments of modelers, but don't you think that military aviation of any era should take precedence over toy airplanes? Think it over. Cheers.

Think it over. it was my understanding that rec [as in rec.aviation.military] is an abreviation of the word recreational. look at all the other groups in the rec. heirarchy: sports, collectibles, etc. this newgroup exists for the hobbyist: planespotting, restoring old aircraft and attending airshows are all on topic, but the majority of hobbyists build model airplanes.

Why can't anyone talk about at least modern military aviation? The originators of the most of the modern military aviation developments are Germans and Brits,thats the reason why their names comes up frequently during discussions.
