Back at the front, Biden secretly gave some of our short range ATACMS, the cluster bomb variety, to Ukraine who promptly used them against parked helicopters, ammo dumps, and runways. Apparently they can avoid Russian air defenses, and those are our 30+ year old refurbished units. Now lets surprise Putin again and give them a few of the long range bunker busting variety to take out the Kerch Bridge before winter.

BDA shows that it was a short round from Gaza. Israel has no reason to hit a hospital and every reason to avoid doing so. The nice people in Gaza seem to have fucked up and had a rocket fail. Anyone with experience with things that go bang can point out the characteristics of the point of impact that point to the damage being caused by the local team. Having screwed the pooch, SOP has them blaming Israel. The reality is that we didn't do it. End of story.

Maybe the hospital that was hit in Gaza causing +/-200 casualties was a misguided Hamas rocket as Israel is now claiming. But for the sake of argument, and as we await what we will learn as the attacks on Gaza continue, can we all agree that attacks on civilians outside of world at war scenarios, where millions of lives are at stake and options are few, are war crimes?

"Both Barry and Norm stated that it was routine that the chutes used in acro planes would be identical rigs."

An actual quote from Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY): republicans are acting “very childish, that people are just throwing out random names. Like, this is serious. This is the United States Congress,. We’re trying to elect a speaker, and you’re just like throwing out, like, random names of people who are not running or are not even members of the House.” Like totally!

I don't think he knows what Palestine is, who controls (portions of) it or any of the history behind it all.

Sometimes FOX commentators deliver a confusing message because facts are not a core component. Then you throw in You-tube, gun forums, GOP messaging and thats what you get. Hope that helps.

78 years ago a great wrong of biblical proportions was done to the Jewish people by Western European civilization. Then a second wrong was done to eastern civilization supported by the west in an attempt to make two wrongs equal a right. With God on our side.

Well for one it's not yet the 2024 elections so your gloating, as it so often is, is ridiculously premature...For two, I'm sorry to see you're back and it seems like time to exercise the 'ignore' button

Those sealed leather bank satchels are use to transport cash,,, not a knapsack.. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/spokane-seattle-first-nat-bank-leather-loomis-money

Knapsack is just a general term for something you can wear as a backpack IMO. Seems obvious he wanted to be able to wear it backwards and strap his harness on over it. Zero chance of losing the money if you jump like that.

Not true, non tan WW2 era containers are not rare... lots out there. Generally, tan ones were sold to the public... not exclusively but that is probably why the museum chute was referred to as a civilian chute though it may or may not have been originally. Sage Green was rare and later, the jungle colour, not Olive Drab. The canopy that Cooper used was the newer of the two but the container date is unknown and being Olive Drab does not date it as newer than a tan one. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/ww2-us-navy-parachute-container-harness-original https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/ww2-pioneer-parachute-1940s-3770612246 https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/parachute-type-8-model8-b-type-pack-3843962099 https://www.ogallerie.com/auction-lot/us-military-parachute-model-p3-b-24-by-pioneer-pa_13E4434BC1
