It’s obvious that those who are pretending to be concerned about these scum are only responding because the U.S. is holding them. Otherwise we would not hear a peep from them.

Personally, I have been lying awake at night worrying about how the terrorist scum in Cuba are being treated.

Well, considering who made the remark, I would say the joke is on those who think it was ment as a joke? 😉

I wonder how the western Europeans on the forum like being branded as “psychos”.

Should we be surprised that military equipment needs repair and overhaul after rough use? This is nothing new. Oh I get it. American equipment is not as good as British equipment which never needs repair. 😉

Lets not cry any tears about the end of the USSR. Given it’s murderous nature it’s death was remarkably easy. The creation of the USSR was the greatest catastrophe of the 20th century. Not it’s collapse.

The Rose was built in Lunenburg Nova Scotia in 1970, as was the replica ship the Bounty built for the movie Mutiny on the Bounty.

The movie title Master and Commander, the Far Side of The World, is a combination of the titles of O’Brian’s 1st and 10th Aubrey-Maturin novels.

The ship the ‘HMS’ Rose is depicted as the fictional French built frigate HMS Suprise in the movie which O’Brian based on the real HMS Suprise which was the French built frigate Unite captured in 1796 which was renamed Suprise by the British because there was already a Unite in the Royal Navy. Complicated.

I liked the books.

So there are articles of interest about non-US and western european airforces and aircraft that you find interesting in AFM. Good. (obviously you didn’t get the sarcasm)
