Either because it comes across more clearly over comms, or someone flipped a coin.
But, it is called that outside of the military, sometimes…sort of.

Ignore them. They’re just haters who can’t handle the fact that despite it’s youth, the Osprey is already a legendary platform.
Think of it like the A-10, except instead of repeatedly slaughtering friendly forces, it just regularly kills anyone dumb enough to ride in one, or pilot it.
I used text to speech and didn’t proofread because that’s all this little dialogue warranted. You got me.
It’s not a slippery slope, it’s called an escalation ladder.
Again, you need to stop thinking of this in the historical context of the Cold War and USSR vs USA. Well there are similarities, it is a very different situation for any number of reasons.
More prepared, yes, but a lot smaller. A saturation attack is going to do significantly more damage because of the higher density of critical targets and infrastructure. But unlike a CBG, they can’t withdraw out of range while they wait for resupply.
Oh come off it. I know you really don’t believe that a standard US administration would launch a nuclear first strike in defense of Taiwan.
China is not the USSR, and the possibility of war between the powers has not historically been thought of in the same context as the Cold War USA vs USSR WWIII Nuclear Bonanza.
I know right? You should really only ever need 1/3rd of a fighter jet for home defense.
Either Bosnian Ape Society has really gone downhill, or the jabronies trying to copy their style were raised on a diet of lead paint chips.
Killing another country’s civilian is not casus belli, especially when considering both countries are allied.
These terms are steeped in legal precedent and tradition, you may not agree them, or respect them, but that alone doesn’t change how they’re defined.
But that also doesn’t change the fact that this should be a serious diplomatic row with serious bilateral consequences, but so should have untold numbers of other war crimes committed against the Palestinians in general, and more specifically, against countless American citizens within the occupation zones.
Also, I’m pretty sure Joe isn’t cognizant about much lately, and I would wager that he only appears lucid when talking about events that happened 50 years ago.
Are you fucking stupid?
Do you seriously think that the DoD forgot to include the line item for radar absorbing hentai plane art?
JFC get with the times.
…why does Lemmy’s noncredible insist on being lesscredible, or even credible?
But thanks for the write up and graphics to show me why WWII era naval torpedoes weren’t actually mounted on those hard points lol.
Pretty sure those are Mark 14’s.
What? You mean other than bolting two snowboards to the bottom of each skid and not being a total bitch about it?
