Of course navigations n radar plus the fire power assortment will be subjective, but what about the aircraft itself?

I live an hour east of WPAFB here in Ohio. Tonight around 7 pm the helicopters flew over our area heading northeast. Does it mean anything other than them just flying from the base to another location?

Follow up to "minie ball tumbling" question which has received many excellent answers already. Would it be the effect of the round on the target - small neat hole vs larger tear? Super slow motion photography?

A 2002 book on Civil War medicine written by a doctor states that conical minie balls fired from rifled muskets could tumble in flight. I think he is wrong. I can't imagine how - unless it was a freakish occurrence with the lower flange of the minie ball not fitting well into the rifling grooves. Minie balls should be spinning in my way of thinking, but I'm not a firearms expert.

About six months ago, i tried to get into the Navy to try to become a SEAL. When i got to MEPS, i discovered that i had a hearing problem in one ear that was severe enough that i couldnt get into the military without getting it waivered. They told me there is a chance i could into the Navy with a waiver but no chance of becoming a SEAL. So i didnt go back because all i wanted was to be a SEAL. But now im thinking about trying to get into the Marines. My question is, do you think i could? I hear about 1/4 of what i should in my left ear, but the right ear is perfect. and i hear fine. Would it be possible to get that waivered to join the Marines. and if i did get in could i be infantry? And would there ever be a chance of becoming RECON or Scout/Sniper? thanx for all your help.

I'm wanting to join the army and also go to college, but I'm not sure which to do first. What would you recommend? Is it better to get the degree before you join the army so you can be an officer, or does it even matter? Thanks.

I'm not dead-set on this yet, but I've been processing this thought for several months and lately have been seriously considering joining the Navy, in a mechanical/engineering or communications field. I STILL plan to attend college and acquire a civilian job for most of my life (as an architectural or other type of engineer).

I'm an 18-year-old female, and an honor/advanced student at my school. My father would probably accept my thought and help me come to a decision (whether or not I choose to enlist), being a lot calmer than my mom, but I know my mother would go absolutely crazy no matter what I tell her. She treats me like a child in a lot of respects (even my father acknowledges this), and is highly traditional (discouraged me from pursuing certain jobs because she believed they were more suited to guys) and religious. Her opinion of the military isn't the most admiring, either.

I love my mom, and want to at least keep her calm during the talk.

Opinions please...What do you think of this BS law and why?

*My opinion: This law is the biggest bunch of bulls**t I've ever heard of! I don't care what a soldier or marine or whatever has done, nothing justifies taking half of their retirement pay! WE are the ones that fought the wars. WE are the ones that go to the field problems. WE are the ones that work endless hours. WE are the ones that have to put up with all the BS that comes with being in the military. WE are the ones that have to abide by not ONE, but TWO justice systems. WE are the ones getting put through all this, and no matter what happens between a husband and wife, I think someone's hard-earned retirement should have NOTHING to do with it!!!! When a civilian wife gets beat by her civilian husband or when a civilian wife leaves her civilian husband for his best friend, they're not entitled to half of their social security, so why should the military be any different?

Here you:

Well,i just have to say we had more death than you in WW2 even if we got crushed by germany in 7 weeks while you were fighting during one year. Also for the free french forces who defeated with only 5 000 mens 80 000 nazis,for La Résistance who gave information for the Allies and helped them to enter in France.

For the WW1,we didn't surrender and fought 4 years against Germany (who was stronger and more numerous than our) and had 1 300 000 deads (not even respects for our dead you f****** yanks)

We had the second empire and has the biggest country of western europe.

Napoleon owned Europe until russia (got beaten by russian winter)

Helped the yanks to their independence war,the greeks for their independence,also for italy...

Fought against english and won all their wars against them during 200 years (plentagenet,saint sardos war and 100 years war)...

I find it interesting that Americans defend the killing of hundreds of thousands of innocent Japanese civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki (by the atomic bomb) by saying that it would save the lives of our brave troops. So why doesn't the same priority of saving our troops' lives before saving foreigners' lives apply today?

I recently experienced Audio Telepathy/ Dimensions hearing and was informed of dimensional travel, which I experienced once (but seriously no one will believe me), the stargates left behind by an ancient royal family(cant tell you who) and the posibility of gaining some serious spaceship technology . I tried to contact the department of defense (wanting to get the message to area 51, or whoever has the stargates) but haven't got an answer, I seriously wouldn't miss out on this opportunity if I were the government/secret agencies. Does anyone seriously get answers from them? Is there any other way of contacting area 51?

The objective of a copper shaped charged IED is to create molten metal to rapidly go in one direction. Would the 270 L floor mounted water tank on the Bushmaster cool the copper down fast enough, while bending the direction, to render it less damaging than if the copper hit standard armor?
