Honestly stingers don't really matter to the US inventory we don't even have an MOS to a job for operating of a man Portable anti-aircraft weapon.and it should be known that the javelin can actually engage the same targets as the stinger. How do I know this, javelin qualified in 2001. Yes it's easier to use a stinger to walk on a fast mover or a helicopter. It is possible with a javelin and if you lock it will hit it.

You realize that Patton's quote about fixed fortifications does not apply to dragon's teeth which are not actually fixed. He was more addressing the Maginot line and other such fixed defensive permanent positions.

Sound like an interesting twist in co-OP comoany
In 2008 GM nearly went under. Part of what saved them was the union working quite a bit of reduced compensation mostly for less senior employees. Now that GM is very healthy and profitable the union workers want thier share. Sees reasonable to me.
Having served in the infantry in Afganistan you are dead wrong, and APC ot a technical ( heavy machine gun mounted on a pickup, traditionally a Toyota helix) a Helfire would definatly be fired at one.

Requirements for the Presedent are diffrent than that of a Senator.

Place of birth does not matter for the House or Senate. Only need to be a US citizen.

For the President it's a "higher standard" you must be a native born Citizen.

I took and passed Algabra in the 6th 7th 8th and 9th grade. I slept in class usually didn't do the home work and got A's on most every test. But the teachers all felt I wasn't ready for harder math as they thought I wasn't mature enough. I didnt realize till years latter that this turned me from a bright excited student to lazy, lethargic and not wanting to challenge myself academically. Ended up graduating with a 1.8 gpa and a 1380 SAT score. Ended up joining the army, Infantryman, paratrooper and a Sergent by 21 years of age. Now I'm 34 and feel in some ways that if teachers had allowed me to progress and encouraged me earlier instead of being punished for not showing work or doing homework that was essentially busy work,I would have applied my self fully then instead of in the Army. As proud of I am of my service and having been a wartime team leader in the infantry at 21, maybe I would have gone to college first and not had to suffer from various medical and metal issues at the age of 34 from my military service. /rant over.

Edited for typos as I'm half blind and proffreding sucks.

It's quite simple. They are collecting everything that might be of use in the future. Since you can't know exactly what you might need from an in-tel stand point then you save every bit of data you can.

Also the ability of Big data to find correlations in data gets exponentially better with the more data you have. This NSA program is the very definition of Big Data at work.

This is easy. There is always more money the closer you are to the transaction and the P&L that actually makes the profit.

Myth busters did this a few years back with a basket ball in an air cannon tied to the back of a truck going 55 mph and the cannon set to fire the basket ball at exactly 55 mph. The ball goes no where as one relative force cancels out the other.
