I’ll say this after watching Russia implode in Ukraine… I feel waaaaay better about us spending half the worlds economy every year on our military, because I think it’s still pretty obvious that nobody wants to #### with the USA.

Two stories that make me think we are way more powerful

than anyone can imagine.
Story 1:
I took the intro to airplane design course with Figliola (sp?) who loved planes and went to all sorts of airshows. He went to one in the early 80s just after they acknowledged the SR-71 existed after like 2 decades of missions. He said there was a rope encircling it about 150 ft away from it with armed military and signs all over the place that said do not cross, will shoot on sight... something to that magnitude. Anywho... he said he went to another airshow in the early to mid 90s, just years after the B-2 was commissioned. He said they let him sit in the cockpit.
TLDR: plane out for 2 decades before acknowledged and you cant get close to it... 10-15 yrs later, the latest technology out they let you sit in the cockpit
Story 2:
I was watching a documentary on Area 51. They were interviewing the best friend of the director for years of Area 51... who was currently dead. The friend said that he would never say anything about it, even after he retired. The only time he ever said anything was something like: you know if I tell you anything they will probably kill you and me... I will just say this, if we got in to a war with the Empire from Star Wars... we would destroy them.
TLDR: we can kick the Empire from Star Wars' acehole.

The HIMARS launcher & missiles we’ve given Ukraine that gave them the firepower to blast the orcs out of Kherson… thems were like the stuff sitting around in warehouses collecting dust off Shop road at Ft Jackson. I can’t even fathom the weapons Northrup, Lockheed, and Raytheon have been making for us recently.

where they basically said no one is in the same league as the US. We basically just stay two steps ahead of everyone as far as what we release. Basically, stay two steps ahead of the scale of escalation... why release stuff thats 50 years ahead of everyone else, when a couple of years ahead does the trick without exposing your hand.

This Stealth Bomber has slimmed down and should be able to deliver the bombs faster and more accurately.
That's what we're being promised?

Sorry. Any thoughts on the Pentagon refusing to accept transfer recruits?

Either some terrible text to talk, or some terrible reading.
