Subject: F-35 vs. Eurofighter
IAFbestinworld    8/13/2004 11:49:07 PM
Lockheed says that besides the f-22, the f-35 will be the best air to air fighter in the future, is this true? Could an f-35 take a Eurofighter? My opinion says yes since f-35 contains more stealthy characteristics.

My apologies, I am not particularly bright; I did not understand your response. I would be very grateful for a less ambiguous response. Is the picture you posted of the bemedaled Marine field grade officer, You?

"But I posted that picture in response to the way Yimmy insultingly asked for my email address" Oh? I didn't realise the picture was directed at me, what was the point you were trying to make?

Why post it as a response? When I was at West Point that would have been an honor violation. You did not say it was you in the original post but there was the obvious inplication that it was you. Though not fitting the strict Oxford English Dictionary definition of quibbling, it would have fit the cadet honor code definition and subjected you to judgement. USMA classs of 61.

>>>When I was at West Point that would have been an honor violation.<<< ---Well being a graduate of a Military Academy myself, I highly doubt it...lol. Also, NO ONE credible in anyway thinks I'm Jack or that I tried to post his picture to imply he(That Character) is me!

I'd explain it but who knows how that would get misinterpreted. I really didnt think my humor was so complex. Just forget about it or watch the moview "A Few Good Men". MOVIE SCRIPTMOVIE SCRIPT ************************************************************* JO I need an answer to my question, sir. JESSEP Take caution in your tone, Commander. I'm a fair guy, but this in' heat's making me absolutely crazy. You want to know about code reds? On the record I tell you that I discourage the practice in accordance with the NIS directive. Off the record I tell you that it's an invaluable part of close infantry training, and if it happens to go on without my knowledge, so be it. I run my base how I run my base. You want to investigate me, roll the dice and take your chances. I eat breakfast 80 yards away from 4000 Cubans who are trained to kill me. So don't for one second think you're gonna come down here, flash a badge, and make me nervous. A moment of tense silence before � KAFFEE Let's go. Colonel, I'll just need a copy of Santiago's transfer order. JESSEP What's that? KAFFEE Santiago's transfer order. You guys have paper work on that kind of thing, I just need it for the file. JESSEP For the file. KAFFEE Yeah. JESSEP (pause) Of course you can have a copy of the transfer order. For the file. I'm here to help anyway I can. KAFFEE Thank you. JESSEP You believe that, don't you? Danny? That I'm here to help anyway I can? KAFFEE Of course. JESSEP The corporal'll run you by Ordinance on your way out to the airstrip. You can have all the transfer orders you want. KAFFEE (to Jo and Sam) Let's go. The Lawyers start to leave. JESSEP But you have to ask me nicely. Kaffee stops. Turns around. Sam and Jo stop and turn. KAFFEE I beg your pardon? JESSEP You have to ask me nicely. You see, Danny, I can deal with the bullets and the bombs and the blood. I can deal with the heat and the stress and the fear. I don't want money and I don't want medals. What I want is for you to stand there in that faggoty white uniform, and with your Harvard mouth, extend me some in' courtesy. You gotta ask me nicely. Kaffee and Jessep are frozen. Everyone's staring at Kaffee; The Officers at their tables... Kendrick... Sam... Markinson... Jo... Kaffee makes his decision. KAFFEE Colonel Jessep ... if it's not too much trouble, I'd like a copy of the transfer order. Sir. Jessep smiles. JESSEP No problem. HOLD for a moment. Jo's very disappointed. Jessep stands there and watches the Lawyers as they turn and leave the Officer's Club. JESSEP (continuing) I hate casualties, Matthew. There are casualties even in victory. A marine smothers a grenade and saves his platoon, that marine's a hero. The foundation of the unit, the fabric of this base, the spirit of the Corps, they are things worth fighting for. Markinson looks at the ground. JESSEP (continuing) Dawson and Downey, they don't know it, but they're smothering a grenade. ************************************************************* JESSEP

Darth, what class at the academy were you? We may have mutual friends, classmates or brother officers. I believe since my class,'61, after the craziness of the Vietnam War, there was a more, shall we say creative interpretation of the fringes of the Honor Code.

Point of clarfication... The picture I had an issue with was the the first you offered not the Nicholson picture that had you offered in your response to my inquiry. Had you offered the "Jack" picture first we all would have chuckled. s you posted in response.
