MD 540F...the ARH that Army Aviators really want.

Even if MD doesn't win the contract to supply big Army with its helicopter you can bet the fly guys with the 160th have already took this baby out for a spin.  This will probably be coming to a Ranger Regiment near you.

Tom sent me this link from 4GWar blog.  Check it out for yourself but this is how one vehicle maker markets its vehicles to your local police depts.

How many Admirals in Navy Air are kicking themselves for retiring instead of upgrading the F-14?

Does it still apply or will AMOS cave in to a special interest group that's obviously left wing and with an agenda?

We'll see but confidence is not high.

Fuck! The last bastion of masculinity in the Marine Corps is under assault!

Check this out from BattleRattle.

In a letter to Commandant Gen. Jim Amos, the group wrote, “We believe that, by aligning with the UFC, an organization that has tolerated homophobia, misogyny, and hate speech, the Marine Corps is violating its stated commitment of ‘maintaining dignity and respect for one another.’ Homophobia and hatred, in any form, are not consistent with the values that make the Marines an elite fighting force.”
In recent weeks, other military branches have been urged to cut sport sponsorship ties. In June, the Army announced it would no longer sponsor NASCAR following pressure by lawmakers in support of a House amendment to the 2012 defense spending bill. The proposal would make military sponsorship of sports illegal. In Monday’s edition of Marine Corps Times, Gina Harkins will have a report about the relationship between the Marine Corps and the UFC.
What do you think? Should the Marine Corps cut ties with the UFC?

So a couple of guys getting into a ring, having a fight that isn't rigged and ending up with both guys shaking hands at the end of it is homophobic?

Wow.

Amos will probably go for it.  The pussification of the Marine Corps continues.

This is gonna get nasty.

Got this vid from EverydayNodaysOff blog.

The police militarized, some of them adopted an attitude of them against us...even against law abiding citizens and they thought that there wouldn't be blowback?

This is gonna get nasty and confrontations between police and citizens are going to skyrocket unless someone somewhere figures out how to put the genie back in the bottle.  I don't think it can be done but I can hope.

Military Police run ranges at 29 Palms.

Caspir MRAP reborn as the RG Protector.

The Caspir MRAP is probably the most battleproven MRAP in the world.  The South African Defense Force used it in countless battles in the African bush and it was a winner.  BAE (with a design house that pumps out vehicles) took that warhorse and modernized it.  If it looks right, it most probably is right and the RG Protector looks right.
