Physically, yes. But for those who need one socially, it does overtime. A-10 Warthog is much better though.

I just visited Sweden. First time out of the country. Beautiful. Amazing people. Everyone was super friendly and very interested in the US involvement with Russia's b.s.

[@Green__Ghost]

Yeah we REALLY don't like the Russians since they have a tendency to not respect our borders, hell they even dropped a few bombs on us during WW2 and claimed it was an "accident". And don't get me started on the submarines.

Sweden was great, I was there for an internship just in time for a US aircraft carrier to be in the harbor of Stockholm. Tv doesn't do there size justice.

Our military is absolutely not prepared for a drawn out fight with an enemy that is close to our technological level. I spent 15 years in, got out a few years ago because i saw the writing on the wall. Bad leadership and lack of discipline means that when something does happen, a lot of young soldiers are going to have to relearn old lessons the hard way.

The navy has been gay forever and they have consistently kicked ass.

[@Kanamethealfr]

LGBTQIA+ people have fought and won pretty much every war throughout history.. arguably, the straights are the minority on the battlefield at a certain point because of the lack of social intelligence and typically poor decision making skills (like being straight)

[@jasonmurawski5877]

You cannot lock 3000 men onto a ship and send it into the ocean for a month and not expect some gay shit to go down. Come to think of it, that’s probably why of all the branches I would want to join the navy

[@Cyberhacker3]

"Gay bomb" is an informal term referring to a hypothetical non-lethal psychochemical weapon about which the United States Air Force speculated. The unconventional idea involved the potential dispersion of sex pheromones among enemy forces, with the intent of generating mutual sexual attraction among them, causing mass confusion and panic. Dating back to 1994, the Wright Laboratory in Ohio, a precursor to the modern United States Air Force Research Laboratory, drafted a three-page proposal detailing several potential nonlethal chemical weapons. This document, eventually acquired by the Sunshine Project via a Freedom of Information Act request, explores the notion of the "gay bomb" among other concepts.
