I see a policy that has been followed for 30 years and now the world expects them to turn around on a dime. Stop, reverse, u-turn. How realistic is...

I don't know the gnat's ass details well enough, but the idea of relying on INS in that situation gives me pause. Getting into CEP and whatnot. ...

It's not "width" it's "beam". The "bubbling system" is called "Masker Air" and also absorbs enemy Sonar pings but it's mostly to absorb our own...

I would go to bat for the space program. It actually has a variety of uses, from tech demo to raising the profile of science and enginerring (though...

Despite it's upgrades in the C variant - it still has the capabilities to work with less precise "dumb bombs". And the gun is the gun. Everyone...

Civilian oversight works ok for the military. Something similar at the state or county level? There's going to be problems in any solution - but I...
