I think its the first guy in this list


My husband was flight lead and had planned this mission for months. He did what he could to save everybody, but he's gone.

His comment history is literally just arguing with people online, multiple comments per day for years.

Dude we fly V-22s over Tokyo. There are no cities that ban V-22 overflights.

The V-22 is one of the safest rotorcraft we have.

If you actually look at aircraft destroyed rate in Air Force service for example the HH-60 comes in at 1.88 per 100K hours and the CV-22 is lower at 1.7

Deployed to Japan

Except you just made that up. Only two V-22 crashes have killed more than 5 people. The H-60 crash two weeks ago killed 5 people, the 60 crash in April killed 10, and the 60 crash in March killed 9.

Most people involved in a V-22 crash walk away from it.

Oh no no no :marseydarkxd:

>TIL. I was told VRS was an issue in the early days of the program but I'm guessing by your user name that you are more familiar with it lol

If you hear that again, you can tell them that the V-22 is actually less susceptible to VRS than a legacy helo. The higher speed downwash makes it so you need an even higher rate of descent at low speed to get into VRS in the first place. It's also easier to exit once in the conditions:

It used to be where people would make memes about military-industrial memes about the functionality of the f35 vs a10 warthog and defense budget. It had a lot of neocons as well, probably one of their last bastions.

But being a pro-US military and NATO meme sub made it blow up with Redditors who only care about the Ukraine War.

The average age also greatly decreased as the 196 type became more and more present, and the quality decreased as a consequence. Although it was never that funny anyway, before Ukraine they were spending their time running dead memes into the ground.

NCD was very funny :marseymad:

Why would 196 even join the sub? Most of them are socialists, socdems and anarkiddies

Essentially Pro-Pax Americana especially with high explosives and the greatest recruiting tool of the American Military Industrial Complex.

I wouldn't mind working for the MIC except for Lockheed since I have built up a hatred for everyone who works in the California office because they can't drive and cut me off too many times in the mornings trying to get to work. They even have their own named road but noooooo, dipshits can't plot out driving routes properly.
