Maybe you're thinking of T.A.T.U.

They have a military intelligence unit with the initials GRU. Maybe that's why.

Did our deniers just admit that people have an effect on the environment? Holy shit fuck!

This is getting mind boggling. Has anyone in the entire world ever said man doesn't have an effect on the environment?

I think you guys are conflating two arguments.

Man having an effect on the environment != man is causing the world to heat up so fast that the world is going to die off in 100 years.

Hurr! Penguins did this.

Japan's been killing us all. Star Trek IV may have been right.

Maybe we should open those camps again if you know what I mean. I'M TALKING TO YOU TAKEI!

So, you couldn't find a single example out of "plenty"?

You are reaching Backwolff proportions of stupidity now. Maybe WayBackwolff?

There is plenty of history on this forum... feel free to post a before and after of someone first claiming that man has no impact on the environment. Just a single example is all that is needed.

Yes, you are right, the initial procurement of the Bradley was a fucking disaster. There ARE officers in the military that are just looking for kickbacks and future higher paying jobs with defense contractors. Of course there is corruption in the military. I still think that overall they are a more trustworthy institution than the federal government. Now, back to the Bradley.. it does have a slight problem with its armor. That's why it was replaced in the field by the stryker and MRAP. It's still a great vehicle. Incredibly lethal, despite what you think.

Would you say that the current situation, as it relates to military procurement, and the relationship between congress, the Pentagon, and the White House, is optimal?

In the first Gulf war it had more tank kills than any other weapons platform, including the M1 Abraham main battle tank.

Not to nitpick, but I'm quite certain you meant the M1 Abrams...though Father Abraham had many sons, a tank was not one of them.

As far as the F-35 goes I don't really have a comment on that. It's costing a ridiculous amount of money so far and I have no clue if it will ever be worth it. Time will tell.

Imo, air superiority is the one thing I'm willing to spend a lot of money on. Obscene amounts. I'm generally not of the school of thought that more money automatically means better results, but...when it comes to air superiority...I'm willing to take a gamble. Mechanized ground units...eh, not so much. Until the Army comes up with a viable Atlas or Templar, I'm going to stick with the navy/air force for securing our particular terrestrial position on this planet.
