Ah for eye, as in Ma Ah!

According to TV Line Blue Bloods was ranked 11th. It was pulling in it's fair share of ad revenue making for a profitable show. It shows that the historical market driven revenue stream doesn't matter to the powers that be. Profits won't suffer as the "real" sponsors will keep the network...

Iraq was a Soviet client state. The vast majority of its equipment was Soviet Bloc. According to the arms transfer data base our sales consisted of about 80+ light and medium helicopters in the 80s which were no longer in production. The only helicopters we encountered in the war were of...

And yet, Hollywood and the media always gravitate towards the ETO and we get Hitler, Hitler, Hitler ad nauseam. IMO opinion, the Pacific War gets short shrift with movies and TV shows about it few and far between particularly in the modern era. It's a disservice to those who fought there.

Except the M68 and L7 were the same gun. The 88L71 was longer the the 88L56 and was developed to counter KV's and IS series of tanks.

I notice that reports in other news sources always preface every cabinet appointment with he/she is a Trump loyalist. Like he would pick someone who's not loyal? Methinks the media knew the inside opposition of his first term.

And surgeons.

The Elephant and Ferdinand were tank destroyers. At Kursk, the Early Ferdinands were used offensively and for some reason did not have secondary machine gun armament. This led to cases of Soviet infantry swarming and overcoming these vehicles.

Tank destroyers are primarily defensive weapons. Generally, any force will pay a price going on the offense but there are exceptions. Incremental development comment is correct, but it was hard for the Germans to do that when Hitler stuck his nose into every design and production decision, and...

Correction L71.

The King Tiger and the Elefant/Ferdinand didn't use the same gun. They and the Jagdpanther used the "other" 88, the 88L70, which was not the same as on the Tiger I. That was the flak gun 88L56 modified for the Tiger I.

I'd argue that the Panther was the finest tank of the war. It had even more maintenance problems than the Tiger. Their debut at Kursk was less than stellar with 6 having destroyed themselves by fire while road marching from the rail head. Out of 202 sent to battle 80 went down for mechanical...

I still replace batteries; maybe not on schedule as I should however. The 10 year deal is static electrical sensors and chemical reagents degrade over time and so replacement at 10 years is necessary. I'd also say that's dependent on air quality in the house.

We have hardwired with battery backup in the house. They started going off randomly (usually at night of course) and I was going crazy trying to figure out why. Researching the manufacturer online I found out that they have a life expectancy of 10 years max. Sure enough mine had exceeded...

I fired the 90mm also and had the same experience. Yowza!

From where may I ask.

Correct; along with other celebs who were partying with Diddy. Like I said before, I'd like to compare Diddy's guest list with recent international flight manifests. Here is Scott Baio reading some of the names:

Or the move for Eastern Oregon and Eastern Washington to form a state with Idaho. Laughter and shaming followed that idea, too. Apparently the left doesn't get that many people are thinking about it.

For the 83 - 84 years they might as well have been. With a good tail wind I could have taken them with my Monte Carlo SS.

The Army/DoD made a huge mistake post Gulf War when they manufactured lessons learned thinking all war was going to be like GW I. Congress was coming down on them to reduce division end strength so they removed division air defense and put salvageable assets at Corps. The other thing was they...
