Dramatic shift in Pentagon's thinking to align themselves with what I said

[MOBIUS]

I can't believe after so many years of the effects of climate being in the news, people like NYE, Halflotus and Thoth can remain so comedically and willfully ignorant on some of the most basic principles of the subject...

As for UAVs, hear hear, this is something I've also been banging on about for years and years. It's amazing that the so-called military experts have only just figured out these sorts of needs.

Or at least, it's not, military bureaucracy is appalling these days - at least from a UK MOD POV. Decision making to implementation is glacial. When that decision has finally trickled down, it's usually out of date as military needs have moved on, usually resulting in a massive waste of money.

For example, this decision about UAVs, why is it going to take 3 years to increase an existing tech by 10 machines when the tech is needed NOW? It's like the UK need for helicopters, again for some reason it's going to take years just to get the helicopters the morons who make the decisions forgot to make sure we had enough of in the first place! How long does it take to build a helicopter these days FFS!?

Personally, IMO, the best decision we could make militarily is cut out about 90% of the bureaucratic cancer of the stuffed suits who do nothing but **** things up anyway, give them each a gun and some ammo, and send them human wave style at the Taliban positions!

Anyway, UAVs!

1.) If I had to guess it is about a year, and of course the production line has a capacity.

2.) It sounded like they said OVER a theater by 10, which means increasing available assets so that there is the ability to have ten more in the air at any one time. That means far more than ten in total as you will always have some being used for training or down for maintinence of whatever.

Adding 10-20 airfames the size of a Predator in three years from a brand new requirment on top of a what was already being procured is actually very fast by any standard.

Indeed.

Sucks to be you.

It's pretty funny that you are so often wrong when you try to tear down other people.

?? These are mutually contradictory. Ice is less dense than water. Reduced ice in the Arctic = lower sea levels.

Wait, are you seriously this stupid?

Never mind Drake. He's just a foul example of what goes wrong when a man goes from Caucasian to Asian to Black.

Why am I not surprised that you are that stupid...

What are you on about, junior?

Dude, the most retarded thing about you is that you just don't have a ****ing clue how retarded you are!

The Arctic ice is floating in water. A floating object displaces its weight in water. When ice floating in water melts, it adds its weight to the total mass of water, and the water level remains unchanged.

You should have learned this in second grade when the teacher explained that 9/10 of an iceberg is underwater.

You're wasting your time, Kuci, I think NYE and Ben Kenobi are related...

Dude. I went to school in Northern Canada. Right after they mention the old guy in the tub, teachers begin talking about ice and water.

Now why don't you go chase Modius on a freeway. Your disengenuous hectoring is boring.

Clearly you've yet to have your Eureka moment...

You are so cute when you make a large phalic symbol of yourself. Cute like a diseased rat.

NYE's a moron who attacked me for being right and now wants to pretend that he really knew what was going on the whole time.
