Psychopathically confident, but willing to admit errors.
🇮🇷🇺🇸Pour les andouilles qui pensent que les États-Unis ont vraiment détruit leur propre appareil…il n’y a qu’à regarder les hélices du C-130 pour comprendre que c’est un crash et non une destruction volontaire. Une explosion ne causera jamais une telle courbure sur les hélices.
I’m going to return to airplanes & cool it on military, but I’d like to plug one last relevant group: The Defense POW / MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA). The promise in the U.S. Military is we leave no one behind. If we can recover you alive, we will. But even in death, we will not leave you behind or forget. DPAA is the agency responsible for the latter part. They have a list of all military members who are not accounted for at the end of operations, from all wars. Then they start piecing together all the clues they can to figure out where our missing service members might be. Once they have a good idea, they go out & search, looking for any evidence, asking locals if they know anything, digging in the dirt & diving in the water. If they can find you, they will. If someone else stumbles on you, they come get you. They use advanced forensics to positively identify you, and only then can your name come off their list. Once they’ve finally found & identified you, they work with your family to bring you home. You will be given full military honors. It might seem silly to some, but “no one gets left behind” is something we take seriously, no matter the cost. It’s not just a slogan. There are times it may not be possible to bring you home alive, but even after 50, 60 or 100 years, we continue to search, still bound to the promise. It’s not a slogan. It’s the backbone of our military & we’ll go to extremes to make good.
In the "Seinfeld" pilot episode, Kramer (Kessler) appears with a large retriever named Ralph, who tackles George (Jason Alexander) onto Jerry's couch before scurrying off into the bathroom for a "drink of water." After the series was picked up, Larry David decided the logistical challenges of working with a large animal on set wasn't worth it and Ralph was written out of future scripts. Michael Richards discussed the decision in his recent memoir "Entrances and Exits," explaining that he intentionally modeled some of Kramer's behavior after Ralph. "If I can't have a dog, I'll be a dog! ... I'll play the guy as a dog coming into Jerry's apartment as playful, friendly dogs do, a dog spirit bounding through the door, sniffing, curious, wondering what's going on in here." And Richards did just that for the rest of the series, often bursting into Jerry's apartment with limbs flying in all directions before searching intently for a snack, just as Ralph would have done. #Seinfeld #Kramer #MichaelRichards
@Snakeeater36 And all it cost me as a taxpayer was millions of dollars wasted on equipment the military treats like toys to be discarded
