Marines have some battalion-level live-fire exercises going on this week. They also have one amphibious group coming home - probably today - and one exercising with a carrier group near the So. Cal. Test Range. Don't know what the Army or Air Force would be doing - Air Force is probably golfing. Army, if @The_Dude and our new moron are any measure, is probably in coloring-book training.
But two ARGs, a CVBG, and a battalion of artillery is a pretty busy day. If the Army breaks out the 64 count Crayolas, it could get crazy...
Tom, are you a cripple? I wonder because it would explain a lot.

Which is why I would lose. I'd always be either buzzing in early, or too late while I aske myself "Is Trebek done now?"
Itd be a shame if you didn’t get a chance to answer. The show would lose all its potential comedy.

Wow. I posted one post, and got a both "suck my dick" and "***** yourself" response. Impressive.
So which year of fourth grade is this for you? Sixth? Seventh? One more, and you'll have tied @The_Dude.

Something just did. He was criminally referred on live TV for FARA violations. That's another 2-5 years to his sentence if he's found guilty (which should be easy since he admitted to it).
I meant like something that could legitimately get Trump impeached and charged.

I'm really hoping India and Pakistan go to war because this is a borefest.

Can somebody let me know when something worth reacting to comes out of this nonsensical farce.

This is a bunch of nonsense.
All this is, is petty bull#### that the democrats are looking at from every angle to try to create a felony out of petty nonsense.
Tell me, what crime did Trump commit that Hillary didn't?
I don't care if Trump paid off a *****. Why should I? I'm just curious as to why the Clinton Foundation is no longer being pumped full of cash by foreigners? I always found it odd how much Muslim money was pumped into a charity that championed womens rights. Go figure that they quit receiving oodles of cash after Thundercunts 2nd failed presidential bid.
This is a witch hunt and it was from the beginning. -

But that is what they want, then they will say "see we told you the right was violent"
So long as they're waiving a white flag while saying it, that's fine with me.

So here we have a good, young, patriotic boy being terrorized by a violent leftist.
It's hard to feel too strongly against the antagonist though. He's been taught over the past few years that his status as a black person means that he can act out horribly, especially in an academic environment, and face no consequences. That needs to change. We need to "bring them to heel." -

No, it would not be cool. It would be stupid. A fleet defense fighter that wasn't a bastardization of another platform, that didn't fly like a bathtub and didn't break pilots' necks on ejection or suffocate them, and that wasn't made out of material that's degraded by water, that would be cool.
Not a 200,000 ton submarine.
You're basically a GI Joe caricature, aren't you?
K, so there's no benefit to being able to launch bombers from just a few miles out of an enemy's AO? Got it.
I think there's value there. Now, is the juice (dollars) worth the squeeze? I don't know. But I'd like Beijing to worry about one popping up off their coast. I'd like Russia to know we can plant one in the Black Sea.
It'd be so freaking cool.

It would have to be around 180,000-200,000 tons to operate a meaningful air group. And spend enough time operating on the surface that it makes the "submarine" features pointless.
What chucklehead refuses to understand is that carriers don't just "launch bombers." They are designed to execute flight operations over a period of time (several days, or longer with support) at a sustained operational tempo. Chucklehead is arguing for a platform (aircraft-carrier-sub) to perform a specific mission of limited scope (sneak attack) that's already better performed by existing platforms (TLAM-armed attack subs).
Sherpa's observation notwithstanding - but his technical observation doesn't change the fact that cruise missiles are nonetheless better suited to certain missions than manned aircraft (such as: being secretly launched from a submarine at high-value, high-risk targets).
I'm not advocating it for tactical purposes, but awesome purposes. So, there. I mean who doesn't want a submersible carrier? That is freaking awesome. But we should focus on a death star first.

How big is this submarine carrier going to have to be to launch a significant number of bombers carrying a significant enough payload to make a difference? How is some massive behemoth submarine going to realistically remain undetected? How long are they going to have to surface and be vulnerable to launch and/or recover these bombers? How stealthy is it going to be while underwater? How many tens of billions of dollars is it going to cost to design both the sub and specialized bombers that will be compatible?
Why not just launch some ***** cruise missiles from existing subs for a fraction of the cost?
Impractical, unworkable, and a complete waste of resources for little to no benefit over existing technology.
Sure, ok, but ask yourself this — would it be cool? Because while everything you said is solid, I just want one. Or twelve.

There are plenty. They're just not in front of cameras or on twittersphere every second.
It is my opinion that Twitter paints a very false reality. You’re most likely right.

Missiles cannot come close to bomb effectiveness.
Way too much goes in to the thrust system, which does nothing to the target.
I was being sarcastic when i said that. I like the idea of carrier subs. I love bombers. But I’m speaking out of my element.

So are missiles launched from nearby submarines. You know, like what they were designed to do.
Oh. Let’s scrap our bombers then.
