Japanese are absolute nuts about brass anywhere...

Interesting. The USMC has a couple of MQ-9 squadrons that can be called on...wonder why they haven't been deployed? or transferred!

GOD BLESS YOU SIR 🫵🏻🫡 My respect 96 years . 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 AMERICAN MADE . The GOAT !! Clint Eastwood Said Something About Getting Old That Stopped Me Cold. Aging is not gentle. You are still here. Still present. Still watching the world move. But the body that carried you through everything - the wars, the work, the wildness of youth - begins to ask for more than you can give it. Joints that never complained now speak up in the morning. Eyes that once took in everything now flinch at the light. Breathing, which never required a single thought, starts needing little pauses. But none of that is the hardest part. The hardest part is the quiet. At a certain age, you reach for the phone and remember there is no one left to call. The people who knew you when you were young - who remembered the same summers, the same streets, the same faces - are gone. One by one, then all at once, until the memories you carry have no one left to share them with. So you tell the stories anyway. To whoever will listen. With a little more color than perhaps the truth deserves. With a touch of pride you've earned and a grief you don't always name. You know the person across from you wasn't there. You know they can't quite feel it the way you do. But you tell them. Because the telling is the holding on. Those stories are not just memories. They are the proof that a life was lived. That people were loved. That things mattered. And if no one asks for them - you offer them anyway, quietly, like setting something down on a table and hoping someone picks it up. Old age is not simply what happens to a face or a body. It is memory looking for a place to rest. And what an older person needs - more than advice, more than solutions, more than someone telling them how to feel - is simply someone willing to sit down, be still, and listen. Not to fix anything. Just to be there. That is the whole gift. And it costs nothing. ~Wild Whispers .

Textron & General Dynamics ARV contenders side by side. Difficult to find the "new" Textron vehicle with the 30mm cannon. I suspect changing emphasis.The USMC emphasized recon/electronics, now firepower is big.Honestly thought this program would be canned.

Textron ARV contender...can't lie gents, this is the hometown team so they get a special nod from me. May the best vehicle win.

During the First Liberian War in 1992, General Joshua Milton Blahyi would lead his troops wearing only his shoes. He says the devil telephoned him at age eleven and told him that running into battle naked would make him impervious to bullets. Sometimes he and his soldiers would also don colorful wigs and dainty purses. He’s still alive, so I guess it worked. The devil also said it would be a good idea to practice human sacrifice and cannibalism to increase his power. Blahyi admits to sacrificing a small child or teenager before battles, including sometimes cutting out the heart and eating it. Today he is the president of the End Time Train Evangelistic Ministries, and he has repented his sins, blamed the devil for his actions, and expressed a willingness to be tried for war crimes.

As the U.S. Marine Corps sundowns the AV-8B Harrier II after more than four decades of service, the legendary “jump jet” enters the final chapter of its operational life. With the Harrier now retired from U.S. service, the Harrier’s story is not completely over: the type remains in service only with Italy and Spain, where the unique STOVL aircraft continues to fly. To mark the USMC Harrier Sundown, here’s a 14-minute video that brings back one of my most memorable flying experiences: my flight aboard an Italian Navy TAV-8B Harrier. You can read more about that mission here: theaviationist.com/2024/01/03/fly… Unmistakable and iconic, the AV-8B remains one of the most fascinating combat aircraft ever built. This is my tribute to a legend that, for a little while longer, still refuses to disappear from the skies.

You need to understand that when Christ said to his disciples that they should sell their cloak to buy a sword, that a mans cloak in those days was much more than just an apparel item - it was something critically important to him. Very few of the common men owned horses, and every journey was traveled on foot. Days long trips through the wilderness were incredibly difficult and dangerous, and being caught out on the road during a storm could quite literally become fatal. A mans cloak was his shelter from the elements, preventing hypothermia during an onslaught of cold rain and howling wind at night. It was his mobile shelter and refuge from the wind-whipped sand that blew across his face and the scorching sun that might kill him with heat exhaustion. He slept in it, walked in it, and it was the only thing standing between him and the raw and merciless elements of nature. It was often one of the most expensive things a common man would own. The modern day equivalent wouldn't simply be a jacket that we wear today - but could be more accurately likened in both monetary cost and the enablement of mobility to a modern day vehicle. In both the ancient and modern day scenario, you aren't getting very far without it. And now you understand more clearly, the severity and implications of Christ's command. "If you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one."

@nicholadrummond i kinda like the redesign. i'm hoping it swims well. you just made me remember to post a side by side example of the initial and then final design. THANKS!

@SnafuBlogspot They certainly made it uglier.

General Dynamics ARV contender (1st version). If you compare it to what they finally ended up with then you see how drastically it changed...
