>I understand the Airborne version you get deployed more often, but more days off for college studies?
Airborne you actually do your job and you're traveling all the time
any aircrew position is way cooler by default but also doing a lot more work

Any linguist position sucks balls though any kind of Intel is just superior at this point
Unless you have an intense interest and preexisting knowledge base of Korean or Chinese or Russian and plan to visit there or something after service (don't mention this last part)

You don't tell the VA anything, you tell your primary care while you're in to document various nicks and scrapes, hitting your knee on a log, bumping your head, sleeping poorly
Then the VA contracts out the exams to third party providers that just check boxes off on a list to see if you qualify
it's primarily an administrative process not a medical one, so just check the boxes (all information on diagnosing each condition publicly available) and you're probably going to get a very high percentage

>I think this war has emboldened Iran, as well as RoW, honestly. It was taken as axiomatic that the empire had but to cast its baleful gaze upon you, and you were ash. But despite the near-omnipotence of America's military, the way it conducts war has been shown to be surprisingly cowardly and lacking in strategy (and honor, but that was never a biggie for burgers). I'd be interested in seeing what China is plotting behind the scenes, now that America's munitions are running dry. Every crisis is an opportunity, as they say in their culture. Fun times ahead

If the US or Israel does that, Iran will retaliate by blowing up the water infrastructure of the US's incompetent petrostate allies. Iran might not be able to sink a US supercarrier, but it can do OK against the finest air defense crews Saudi Arabia can muster because lol arabs at war.

Whether or not this is a bad thing in the long term is admittedly up to debate, but at the very least it will create a pretty nightmarish humanitarian situation and crash the global economy.

>A fully armored highly trained crusader with a sword or a fully armored highly trained varagian guard with an axe?
Those two factions did fight on the Fourth Crusade. In 1204 the crusaders attacked Constantinople while the Varangians defended it, and the crusaders won. That specific battle was the end of the Varangian Guard.

>>65502446
Assuming both are armored in plate or similar the sword has an advantage as it can thrust.

A knight would have a sword in addition to those things, and it'd put him at an advantage to the varagian.

They were highly outnumbered and once the emperor fled they deserted, since they didnt had no one else to be loyal to. They also were not being paid. If I remember correctly the crusaders agreed on letting them go safely so it would be easier to conquer the city

It's simple. People get way too invested when a conflict involves the United States of America in some way. Either directly, or closely due to it affecting its major rivals and/or allies.

When you have some obscure conflict with a few degrees of separation from the US (because let's face it: every conflict relates back to the US on SOME level...) then you don't have to deal with the people who get irrational and crazy over whether this is the definitive end of America as a global power.

Wars would get worked in practice. Their turbo lasers are third world AK spam type weapons with no accuracy or aim.

On the other hand you basically never see a Trek ship fire a phaser and miss, because they built actual targeting technology that doesn't suck.

So in Wars you get tons of fighter type spacecraft flying around, while in Trek that would be suicide because you need huge ship level shields to tank the inevitable hits.

We should also talk about how Babylon 5 got space fighter design rightest. Quad forward and reverse thrust engines at the points of an X wing pattern. Trek gets half points because at least there are impulse engines labeled on diagrams all around the ship. Wars is just tard level with backward-facing engines as the only typical visible source of thrust.

Well, IIRC the MR 73's claim to fame is being retardedly sturdy and taking loads that would have kept ol' Elmer Keith hard for a week. It's probably not very smart to do anything fancy unless stage 1 of the process is "obtain an MR 73 in very good condition".
It's going to be SP (i.e. jacketed) because it's loaded over 1400fps, which means they were going right to the line for CIP spec .357 with the BASIC load. Rolling your own is probably going to look something like pic attached.

>>65503490
You can't go far wrong with .45 ACP if you've got a modern (designed within living memory) gun and a supported chamber, I load "book" Supers in small primer brass all the time and while those cases can stay in the dirt after that shot they never show any bad signs, you really do have to do something very retarded to have problems. .357 is a prime candidate for people doing retarded things, right enough.

Sig continues to refuse to admit the vast majority of their MIM parts are made in India and Israel and these parts fail at a higher rate than MIM parts made in the USA. SIG refuses to admit the parts are made in two of the most retarded countries on Earth because if they admit it, they will probably be in violation of the Buy American Act and/or the Berry Amendment. AND because their engineers are fucking retarded, they decided to put Indian made MIM sears in one of the most widely adopted handguns of all time and expected absolutely nothing to go wrong. Then when it went horribly wrong, SIG refused to accept it was going horribly wrong and quadrupled down on stupid.

Hi /k/, since you showed appreciation to my thread on the Caproni Museum, here's another one, the aviation museum just outside of Munich.

I apologize in advance for the bad photos and incomplete reportage, but in there I felt overexcited like a kid high on sugar on Christmas morning, and I didn't have much time to spend there because later in the day I had to catch the flight back home.

With that said, here's the first aircraft: a modern flying (AFAIK) replica of the Otto Doppeldecker. Designed by Gustav Otto, son of Nicolaus Otto inventor of the four stroke engine, and built by his company that later became BMW.

They are currently putting up a massive storage building just a couple hundred meters from my home, for all the planes and stuff that are not on public display in the Flugwerft at the moment. I wonder if one will be able to visit it. The facility is being erected on a huge vacant lot in an industrial area. It was completely overgrown with vegetation liek birch and willow saplings for many many years and in the center of which I had built a cozy, hidden track for my RC cars. Now it is all being bulldozed ... :-( but at least it was sacrificed for something cool.

And here's a diagram of the first stage. Probably not peak efficient, although simple and reliable. The Europa rocket was a three stages launch system, each stage provided by Britain, France, and Germany respectively. The partnership fell apart because of the UK, but then reformed as ESA, that stands to this date and produced the Ariane, one of the most successful and reliable launch systems.

you're a retarded alphie. granted, orange man is an idiot that got hyped after the astounding success of maduro's capture and thought he could tangle with iran with no boots on the ground. but iran's not a victim. the ayatollah's regime is what causes the unrest in the middle east that's been going on for almost 40 years, al quaeda and isis all had close ties to iran and they're responsible for lone wolf operations in europe, including terrorist attacks in germany, france, and great britain. they're not the cradle of all evils, because israel itself is another tumor causing unrest ever since the suez crisis, and palestine and lebanon have had their fair share of war crimes against the west, but itan's the single most destabilizing force in the subcontinent and the eradication of the crazed hashish fueled theocracy is paramount to bring peace to the region.

>>
>>65503558
yes, because they clearly need the defensive buffer zone from both conventional attacks and unconventional infiltration. the Israelis gave back Gaza two decades ago, look what happened.

do you know what's the main hurdle with all the Israeli peace treaties? the Arab states and the UN demand that Israel demilitarise and reduce these defensive buffer zones, but refuses to protect Israel against future breaches of the peace by Palestinians and other jihadis.
like a policeman who tries to break up a fight between two guys, citing THE LAW, but refuses to use that law against one side, only the other.
or a teacher who only steps in when the victim fights back, and orders the bully and the victim to stop fighting, but refuses to stop the bully from continuing to bully the victim henceforth.
to this day that is the single greatest hurdle in Middle East negotiations. Israel asks the Saudis, the UAE, and the UN, "according to this proposed treaty, you will defend them if we invade them? fine. will you defend us if they invade us?" and receives a deafening silence in answer.
look at Oct 7. the Israelis KNOW that this is their future. they get infiltrated and stabbed and raped and kidnapped, and the world's response is: "I don't think you have, mate"

it's happening to non-Jews too, because we are next on the block after them. for now it is happening to us only at the grassroots level, because that is where we are vulnerable. the West is under attack, under an intifada of stabbings and rape; and paying the jizya of "saving" the stabbers and rapists from the English Channel and Mediterranean, feeding them, housing them, entertaining them; and the response when they carry out their intifada is:
"I don't think you've been stabbed, mate. now defund your Army, the welfare services need more money"
