    I definitely do, sir.

    I seem to remember a few years back (under Gates or Rumsfeld), a different term was really popular within the DOD community. I think it was "transformational" maybe. Everything being pitched to the military was "transformational" at the time. I couldn't always see how it applied.

    I was watching some show on the history channel about a group that does gun builds and such and had a rage face for about 15 minutes because they just couldn't say "warfighter" enough times

    I always hated maintaining Link-16 systems. Never worked as advertised.

    i ate this up. there were some pretty great techno-terms in this video.

    i love the aesthetic of modular military communication systems. so many hugely over-engineered connector standards, all done up in a nice beige.
