Special forces to use strap-on 'stealth wings' How cool is that? I wonder what the maximum operational limit is of these wings. When I first saw the video, my immediate thought was of Operation Sea Lion. What if they had these wings in WWII? Undoubtedly, the AAA would have been murderous but it would have had a much higher chance of success than a seaborne invasion would have. I wonder if there will ever be any pracitcal civilian or commerical application aside from entertainment. I can't think of any but I'm sure someone will.
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.
