[News] Post a D&D Picture

Previous incarnations of Cleveland/P&C/D&D have had an image thread, to handle political cartoons and other image-based stuff that doesn't belong in the general post-a-picture threads.

If any of them spawn an extended discussion, please spawn it off into its own thread. Replies to non-picture replies should take the form of a link pointing to a post on a different discussion thread.

And I shouldn't have to say it, but the images still need to abide by the rules.

Those are all great. The C-130 photo is particularly amusing to me because flare dispensers are a last-ditch defensive measure. When the flares go off, the crew isn't going "America f*ck Yeah!". They are praying to their respective deities that they don't get blown out of the sky.

Yes, and their deity is America, and all prayer's to Him start with "f*ck Yeah...."

But it does make for a good photo.

The plane is on the edge of death while conservative commenters cheer about how great it is.

Funny how things run in parallel like that.

It's not on the edge of death. It's burning through several thousand dollars of expensive flares to make a pretty propaganda picture.

To be fair, they do need to test those systems now and again. It could be that got the pic during one of those tests.

And if you WERE testing them, you'd want a chase plane taking video of flare deployment as a test artifact to analyze after the fact.

Actually I'm guessing you'd want IR cameras all around so you could determine how effective the flares would be from different angles and in what ranges in the IR spectrum they operate.

True, but your decked out flight test chase plane(s) would potentially have both IR and visual-spectrum cameras.

Which is also very American.

It's an AC-130. If it's dropping flares in combat, it means it hasn't cratered everything within twenty miles.

and the way i understand it, that system has about the same success rate against modern missiles as CPR.

This is why the country is doomed - tens of thousands of people actively support dooming it.

What the actual f*ck? Is that what gilding the lily really means?

Have you seen the movie Cocoon?

Edit, damnit Stele beat me.

I believe the correct term is Stele-hausered.

There is no conflict. They don’t want the government telling them what to do, but they love when the government tells black people what to do.

Addendum The first is the GOP philosophy. The Democratic Party philosophy is closer to ‘we will pay lip service to caring until you vote for us, and underdeliver as elected officials’
