Don, Curious what you think about this proposal? https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2017/08/08/war-afghanistan-trump-white-house-weighs-bold-plan-privatize/548004001/I have told my wife many times some conflicts should be privatized. But not being ex military I am curious what you guys think.
Sounds good to me. More bang for $$$$

I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.

I agree a Jeep is not sufficient to carry H's big rear around in & as such understand your dislike for such vehicles. Seems you should stick with 1 ton or larger capacity rigs, you do own a Duece right?
No one on here would ____________________ to own a Jeep as well , oh wait (not aimed at Bob, nor Don's wife).

I also forgot that I own a jeep as well...a cj3a
Think Don may come out of retirement? (assuming the AF would take him, a former Army guy)
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
If you don't include an OV10 and a A1 Skyraider you aren't getting my vote.
Piston man!
Screw it...SuburbansIn my view, should have been manufactured with a cut away roof panel and welded in hardpoints for a GAU-17But that's just me...Call it the Jihad option (Anti-Jihad version???)
Seems like a great place to leave this....from an armchair warrior this is my favorite plane. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And with triple redundant hydraulics that allow it to be flown though ventilated like Swiss cheeseSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pi have a friend who ran with black water in Iraq several years ago. His stories agree with yours about Rules of Engagement(or lack of). He had a great time over there and then got pulled to go over with s reserve unit, public relations unit( he was pulled as an augmentee) or some garbage. He said he was never more afraid than when he was deployed with that unit, they didn't have any situational awareness or idea of a real security posture. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
