Nope. Nothing the US did constituted torture under US law at the time.
You also got the use of "stupid" wrong.
And the Holocaust wasn't illegal under German law at the time. When AT&T allowed NSA to tap their lines that was illegal at the time, and Congress then passed an ex-post-facto law exonerating them.
Please explain how both of those fall into your simplistic picture, preferably without your head exploding from the contradictions.
But it can't do _any_ of the roles well. The tradeoffs made to accommodate all different military branches needs have played havoc with doing _any_ role well. The repair and upkeep costs are astronomical, it's a fuel glutton, it's fragile, and it's clumsy.
Yeah, like a Swiss Army knife while it has a multitude of tools it excels with none of them.
Let's see how it actually does in testing before we declare the result.
The problem being that the Air Force had already declared a winner and were cutting off the A10 until Congress got involved...all before any testing at all. These (possibly rigged) tests are a new development.
And speaking as an ex-tanker guy, speed and height are not what we want. The job is *close* air support- this means being nearby, able to see the target. Is this a dangerous role? Yes- modern AAA is very good. But being on the ground is kind of dangerous too, and it would be kind of nice if the Air Force were willing to actually help out rather than just chucking a precision bomb from 20KM away and hoping it's enough. (And then being shot down by a modern dedicated fighter jet since it's not very stealthy with the weapon racks open and sucks in air-to-air combat even against 40-year-old models like the F-16)
Right, you nailed it. The A10s do CAS and the the more capable air-to-air combat planes cover for the A10s.
It wasn't long before the drone's owners appeared.
"Four guys came over to confront me about it, and I happened to be armed, so that changed their minds," Merideth said.
"They asked me, 'Are you the S-O-B that shot my drone?' and I said, 'Yes I am,'" he said. "I had my 40mm Glock on me and they started toward me and I told them, 'If you cross my sidewalk, there's gonna be another shooting.'
Oh lookie at that, a clear example of why that law is in place, all neatly wrapped up in the topic at hand.
That's not reckless endangerment. That's warning four miscreants to not trespass with the intent of doing bodily harm. Warnings like that are actually encouraged.
The reckless endangerment is from firing a shotgun in a residential neighborhood.
The problem I have with this approach is the human element with its possible mistakes is what gives baseball a lot of its soul. First instant replay, now this?

Who gives a shit about that. I wanted them to be sued for felony - hacking my laptop to prevent windows security updates. Potential RICO charges as well.
Technically it was still their laptop when the software was installed...How was it yours when it was still at the factory having the image slapped onto the hard drive?
I think we need to move towards a German economic model - stop the corporatism in the US.
The problem is that rich people in this country think we need to move to an Indian model. That's why whenever the US Government wants to hold up a nation as an example of an economic powerhouse, it's not Germany but India that is held up as an example.
I'd think they're moving to the Chinese model where government and business is totally interrelated and intertwined (fascistic).

no but this gem, i believe
I was not thinking a lot
We hold some truths to be self-evident.
I mean, FFS, the Clintons have been in positions of power for what? 36 years... (since the 1st term began as Governor of Arkansas.)
It's clear she should have an inkling how to act in office, and yet, like so many of the political ilk, she uses her skills for evil instead of good.
Moreso than that, didn't she get her start as a young lawyer working on Watergate?

perfect idea, until the drone thats built with reflective, ceramic-composite materials shows up.
Then you hire the Kentucky redneck with a shotgun loaded with bird shot.

not a whole lot more flawed in that regard than present day USA.
The US suffers from incompetence, not malevolence as does the Soviet Uni...err, Russia.
