I’m shocked and appalled that I was a dumbass and didn’t plan for expanded piracy operations outside of where we were.
Damned. Quite making excuses and start killing the bastards. Take no prisoners unless you want to get some intelligence as to where their bases are, and then execute the SOBs.
You need Harrier, vertical-liftoff jets that can operate from the decks of cargo carriers as well as warships. They have more speed, better range, and carry more weapons than the slow helicopters.
Oh, by the way, I recall that the Navy/Air Force/Army/Marines have decided to discontinue producing the AV Harrier. Who was the dumbass who thought up and promoted this policy?
What is DOD coming too? A home for military losers?
We need leaders with guts and determination. Oh, I forgot, the Great One (not Mark Levin) is coming in and his advisors will emasculate what is left of our military.
How much more of this stupidity from the administration and brass are the American people going to take before they stand up and say “NO MORE”?
Well the Air Force and Navy never operated the Harrier, although the AF did participate in the research, with the Brits, that led to the Harrier (Look up Kestral). AV-8B the Harrier II was produced by McDonnel Douglas, now Boeing. But the Harrier will be replaced by the VSTOL version of the F-35, which made its first supersonic flight just last week.
Well, unless Obama cancels the F-35, which seems likely at this point. Just as Georgia Jimmy Earl canceled the B-1A.
The F35 Joint Strike fighter(called joint because it is made to service the airforce, navy and marines)has a vertical lift off version, the one the Navy will use, and it supposedly is easier to fly than the Harrier, they are in the midst of testing it now, not sure when it will be released for duty but the Harriers we have are supposed to be able to last until then(hopefully).
