There's just something squicky millennial about laying in the sand watching a cruise missile fly overhead as opposed to, say, half a dozen Buicks full of explosive chugging their way to the target. The physical results may be identical but anybody who has seen serious NGF will attest it's the Fist of God.
Here is a question about how comments work on Substack. Can a reader post a comment with a viewable image embedded inside of it, similarly to the way Disqus does it?
I think many of us have affection for platforms family members served on. I built a model of the Douglas B-26 Invader as it appeared over Korea as my grandfather flew in one as an enlisted bombardier-navigator. I hope my nieces and nephew have some for my father's ships.
I built a model of the USS Waller (Fletcher-class my RT3 grandfather was on towards the end of the war). As an aside, he was most pleased with the way the war ended, as he had already gone to Okinawa to prep for RM duties with the Marines ...
I had to set up a new Disqust account because some mod on the ABC News site gigged me for my politically incorrect, non-woke opinion about women in combat several years ago. Good riddance to both Blogspot and Disqust.
That really sucks for the women who trained hard to compete, only to have some fake woman who can't complete against men cheat them out of their wins. But it sure is fun to watch all the Gloria Allred/Betty Freidan types suffer meltdowns.
Part of me thinks they can suck on it! They have said over and over there was no difference. That said, to her credit, Serena Williams has been intellectually honest over the years. Title IX had some goodness, but also had some evils.
BB's rock the block.

Having been at Blogspot for most of it (lurking or under a different moniker) This brings back some nostalgia:)
Just checking in to the new format. Hmmm. My Gravatar pic is not here.
Just checking in.
A ship that served us through two World Wars, and the lean years in between. USS ARKANSAS, HUZZAH!
A ships that was part of a line that eventually led us to the sacred Big Badger Boat!
The Front Porch has moved. Look what we have done with the place. And here we are talking about Battleships! Be still my heart!
Google was marking posts dangerous, etc. I can only imagine how many of mine were marked. LOL

How dare you sir. How dare you! Women are awesome! That is why we can have men compete in women's sports and there not be a difference! *giggles*

You came to SUBstack. As it should be. Not bad for a SWO. :)

Well, none of that worked. If you want to insert a link though, just type or paste the link.
