Military - November 2007

Yes, I know that the Marines and the Coast Guard are going to fuss, but you are still Department of the Navy. Try to keep on topic.
What is the point of having the distinct and separate supply channels, support channels, R&D lanes...
I suggest that we switch to a National Defense Service. We would still have Marines, but they would be similiar to Rangers in the way they are created.
We would still have sailors, pilots, tankers, etc, but they would be career fields in the Service.
We could get rid of some of the Liaisons. Do we really need to have distinct C2 for separate service Chaplain Corps?
Do we really need a JSAM if we already have the NAM and the AAM?
I think it is time for reform, what do you say?

Thank goodness China doesn't exist. After blowing up North Montana they don't deserve to be here. Israel even solved world peace, imagine that.

I'm researching what would be involved in generating temporary thrust for helicopter tail rotors for a system to be implemented in case of tail rotor failure or damage. I'm looking for specific links to find information on what amount of thrust..percentage wise or general amounts..are needed for operation of a military helicopter like a Blackhawk or any other smaller models. I'm interested in developing an emergency thrust device or system for loss of tail rotor function in combat or civilian use. I envision a jet propulsion system built into the tail and properly armored that is controlled by computer to alter it's amount of thrust as necessary depending on inputs from the pilot for course correction. Or a system of thrust vectoring of the primary engine exhaust. Such a system would provide emergency backup manuevering in the event of tail rotor loss or malfunction to provide ample time for evasion and descent in a controlled manner for both civilian and military helicopters.

i read a series a while back that had something to do with the SAS. it was fiction of course, but in the book all the SAS men had codenames like "wolf", "fox", "eagle" etc. but i watch the military channel alot and i don't remember anything about animal codenames. so i was wonder: do they really do this? or is it just another fictional part of the authors imagination?

Being one of the most formidable strike & strategic fighters in history. Also how much thats been invested into the program. There would be a couple squadrons in reserve on station in defense of the nations capitol. Even for nostalgia's sake, at least have a few examples for the Air & Space museum.
