Oh sweet child of mine.....

Hah, yeah a train wreck I see in compatibility across platforms, despite code base. Being a former .gov contractor, I expect the worst.

"De facto relationship" (common law marriage) varies by state in the US. It means pretty much nothing up to basically married in the court of law, and definitely means nothing in regard to .gov taxes (we basically have 3 filing statuses, married, not married, and this nebulous "head of...

As someone who decided to marry a disabled person (after living together for 15 years) it was the WORST COLOSSAL MISTAKE of my life. It did not resolve the HIPPA bullshit I needed to deal with, screwed us in .gov taxes AND her benefits eligibility. Toss in the fact that I can't get resources...

Hope this wasnt on my account, I sent something to mods apologizing for one of my "GREAT YELLOW WARNINGS", since I dont post here often (and know I dont post quite well). I'm honestly not going to say I have the posting guidelines memorized by heart. I just recalled at the time I added a BOLD to...

Im guessing you never served in the military, much less the US military. :P

Only think the down vote on you is because now your giving kids ideas. :D

A mantra by many in this thread, even my handful of posts. :)

GAH!, I always hit quote when I mean to hit edit button, sorry.

Was going to say, yes there were actual "real" tank battles in gulf war 1. But I was going to make a comment regarding: With: that if your Air crews and equipment are about as well trained and maintain as your tank crews and equipment you get what we have in Ukraine. Technically the side with...

I didn't watch all either but educated enough to realize: Tanks still serve an overwhelming/breakthrough presence on the battlefield with proper combined arms (as best as Ukraine can do), as Ukrainians have demonstrated.

LOL, can you still see the glass?, yes? :D My thoughts on the past few pages: 1. Emagherd, NATO/US is running out of ammo!: Uhm no, were expending the ammo right where it was manufactured to go, into "soviet" tanks. I dont see javelins, defending from us from Chinese tanks in Alaska(or even...

And why someone would be contacting a recruiter and doing this stuff on their current company laptop?

LOL. Maybe poorly worded, not meaning the political situations themselves, but just meant another perpetual standoff for the next 60-80-100 years. I could have said another "Cold War", but that essentially DID end with the dissolution of the USSR and warsaw pact. (Yay! NATO is no longer needed...

It wasn't that long ago, I never thought my car would have a DNS recall...

Thanks for the confirmation, all. I am pretty much at the point of letting US/UK/Polish/German(!) forces deploy in eastern ukraine and defend Belarus border and let the Ukrainians wreck the Russians. Pretty much let us tell Putin dirty harry style, "Do you feel lucky punk". I'm not up for...

Wait, wasnt Crimea already being attacked with weapons systems by Ukraine? Isn't Crimea already considered "Russian territory" By Russia? So, Donetsk/Luhansk being claimed as Russian territory is basically a nothing burger? Even by Russia's own standard currently.

There was a pretty good military study article by the Army on BTG's vs BCT's(It may have been actually posted here at some point). Basically, on the face of it russias organization is at battalion level but "supposed" to be able to still operate independently like the US Brigade combat teams...

Yup, everything I am reading from the past 1-3 months. Russian military logistics, maintenance, training, leadership, recon, doctrine, battlefield intelligence, manpower (this one's a shocker as an American, but apparently a do or die kremlin decision) has been a complete cluster fuck.

Gonna go for a stretch here, but lets say...mostly medieval?
