An in-depth presentation by the legendary (in my books) Mr Brian Shul on his many trials prior to becoming one of the chosen few to pilot the SR-71. Apologies in advance if most of you have watched this or if it's been posted here before.

Space Marines? Congressional Committee Proposes Creation of U.S. Space Corps. In this year’s annual National Defense Authorization Act documentation, the House Armed Services Committee has voted in favor of the creation of a new military branch for outer space. The proposed United States Space Corps would operate in the interest of “providing combat-ready space forces that enable the commanders of the combatant commands to fight and win wars.” It would function as an extension of the Air Force, similarly to the Marine Corps does the Navy. The United States Air Force has already stated that “maintaining space superiority” is one of its “core missions” as a “warfighting domain.” As recently as April, they added a Deputy Chief of Staff for Space to their roster. They have also renamed the Joint Interagency Combined Space Operations Center to the National Space Defense Center in order to “better describe its actual purpose.” For all that, you might believe that the Air Force would offer a ringing endorsement to the legislation. Instead, they are among its loudest detractors. Rep. Mike Rogers of Alabama said that he was “shocked by the response by the Air Force leadership” to the proposal. As it happens, neither the Air Force’s chief of staff nor its secretary have taken too kindly to the idea of separating space defense concerns from their existing efforts. Secretary Heather Wilson said that the creation of a United States Space Corps “will make it more complex, add more boxes to the organizational chart, and cost more money.” There’s one thing on which all concerned agree, however. The future of warfare lies outside of Earth’s atmosphere. The only real question is whether we’ll ever be defending ourselves from little green men or just each other. http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2017/07/10/congressional-committee-proposes-creation-of-us-space-corps/

I heard Jar-Jar kicked ass, is this true ?

And yet it's politics that led to this mess. Trust the Germans to screw up Europe ever five or so decades. Well they always want the credit and the families of Jihadis get financial rewards (for the most part), one need only ask the Israelis about all the money that the shahid families got for their son's going kaboom.

Pity, I was looking forward to seeing it in that gorgeous desert camo that the IDF/AF has for their fast jets.

Yea and it turns out that the suspect was a known radical to the authorities with a criminal past. How much of a bet you want that Merkel and the left are praying that this is the work of some far-right group trying to frame an arab.

My bad, it's a Tunisian, the German police found traces of his DNA in the trucks cab, on a more twilight zone note German police are also investigating an Afd members tweet for potentially "criminal" comments, where all he did was criticise Merkel. Did you think this was the work of some goose stepping 14/88 Neo-Nazi ?

The BBC reported that we need more bollards and crash tests for truck attacks, just what the actual hell ? They're blaming trucks for truck attacks now ? The BBC and other Islamist apologist media have gone off the rails with their narrative, they're the "fake news" now. Kinda ironic that they point at alternative media as being fake. How much of a bet you want that if you talk about this on facebook and criticise the so called peaceful migrants you'll get the b& hammer.

The truck driver is a Pakistani "refugee". Thanks for the Ackbar this close to christmas, Merkel you fat, slobbering, land whale.

Bless you Trump voters, you lovable deplorable's ! Here's a collection of delicious lib tears.... Just for you CA
