This is about the limit of how far 98% of the population plans for.

The military is brainwashed to be silent on matters internal. That's a fact. So the whistleblower is almost always derided by the Jolly Green Giant...that's just normal OP. Also, I've not really seen ANY blowback from people in the military regarding this, but I haven't been looking for any...

Unfortunately, that's something that DOD gets to do to its soldiery in an effort to keep them at fighting trim. Every soldier and officer signs up for it. Though, to be fair, no recruiter ever really tells their 'prey' this. The error here was that it was completely experimental with NO...

You're absolutely right. But there are LOADS of things that the enlisted ranks can do to totally FUBAR the Command if they take that route.

agreed, but China may just really not want UN on their border.

the ROK has to weather the Zerg-rush from the Norks. Once that's expended...the North is done unless China comes to their aid again.

There are a boatload of commercial pilots that have military experience, and a fair number of planes in the sky with US Carriers are able to be called to military transport duty if necessary.

If it gets that bad, I just expect Container ship to mount a nest of Suicide UAVs to go after pirate vessels.

I will admit that my garrison time is two decades out of date, but we OSHA in our Motorpools at least bi-annually. Mostly for HAZMAT handling.

OSHA has a lot to say with how bases operate in the states.

I really don't know the answer to that. Possibilities: 1. The Marines in question pissed off someone higher up 2. Random officer sees this as his way up the food chain 3. Contractors in questions have inordinate influence with Marine Corp command to push this 4. Coverup of something else...

It’s time to crush the case against the Marine Special Ops Command three (bizpacreview.com) I totally missed this case entirely. TLDR: Marine defends another Marine being attacked with a single punch. Target drops and slams head into ground. Seven people w/the agressor that attacked the...

The Chinook has seen several generations of updates, and they are still being produced. 310 kph is the top speed IIRC. That's faster than pretty much everything but the V22.

Chinooks (those silly 2 rotor transport helicopters) have been in service all the way through the wars in the Middle East. Kept in maintenance properly, they still continue to do work. I believe they still hold the tag of 'fastest helicopter in the US arsenal'.

Captains are kinda the last position for true line command in the Army. Anyone tells you that a Captain is micromanaged is blatantly wrong. As for LTs, they are managed by their NCOs though they do get their orders from their Captain. IF the LT shows they don't want to learn from their NCOs...

@BlackDragon98 Dude, not cool.

Oh shit. I hope the crew survived.

First I've heard about this one, but not really surprised. Ft. Hood is huge, and it has a history of gang activity WITHIN the ranks. We joke about the 'Specialist Mafia', but it's got enough truth in it to be extremely sad.

That's just silly talk!

Soy is extremely horrible for men over the long term. ESTROGEN, soy contains estrogen. It's bad for men.
