[06:18:11] fifel So you didn’t get to lick his fingers clean?

[06:56:12] fifel Are they as pretty a plane as they look to me from videos?

[06:57:32] fifel I think the plane I find sexiest is the Caribou. Really fucking brilliant design and fulfillment.

[06:57:47] fifel also its cockpit and airframe looks like the head of a penis and a penis.

[06:58:41] fifel I’m into logistics though. Especially STOL / dirt.

[06:59:32] fifel The A10 Warthog is ugly as fuck. And he’s going to slap your face with that ordinance from close in. Like fucking someone from a biker bar while you’re wearing a minidress unshaved

[07:00:38] fifel P51 is amazing though.

[07:01:45] fifel F-117 has the “simplification of analysis” facetisation which is clever, but I don’t think beautiful.

[07:02:03] fifel “Bobby’s a man now, this is his first suit.”

[07:02:17] fifel I respect your values here, but I had to state my own.

[07:02:34] fifel Wow.

[07:03:36] fifel The F-111 is, hmm. Well let’s leave development aside for a moment and talk about the fact that if you crawl around in his guts you get a toxic disease that will kill you.

[07:03:46] fifel Servicing an F-111 was getting pozzed.

[07:04:31] fifel Yes. I’ve seen some photographs of them parked in arrays.

[07:06:58] fifel That is still huge though. People are bad with the scale of big things.

[07:08:05] fifel “Oh its classified as a fighter, it must be small.” Yeah.

[07:08:57] fifel I was thinking of stuff like naval interdictors, or F-111 interdictor concepts, which are technically “fighters” for the public’s conception.

[07:09:28] fifel Given that “bomber” covers strategic roles, not attack roles in the public’s mind, vide: F-117

[07:11:37] fifel No, I mean the F-117 conducted air to ground missions, or attack missions, but is classified under the F- series.

[07:12:53] fifel Operational is a bit generous… ;)

[07:14:10] fifel That era, I think the Corsair / F4U is my pick of the litter

[07:15:05] fifel Vonce ze rockets go up vho carez vhere zey come down? —It’s not my department says Werner von Braun.

[07:16:26] fifel Hey, some of us here still remember when Germany was Great, Strong, Powerful and Correct. Thank you Honecker. Thank you SED.

[07:19:47] fifel If we’re talking about the wiggly boys, what’s your favourite looking roto thingers. Don’t just say fucking Sea King Fuck Yeah. For me it is the Westland Wessex

[07:21:28] fifel Wessex really helped Full Metal Jacket look Marines instead of Army.

[07:22:06] fifel Chinooks are very interesting, but very risky because of the tendency to use them forward of adequate support

[07:22:57] fifel I think the Mi-8 is a very attractive helicopter, more than the Mi-26

[07:24:56] fifel Soviet gigantism is a bit of a meme though, their AFV design trajectory was to teeny bois

[07:25:34] fifel This is true, and it isn’t a bad thing.

[07:26:00] fifel Think of it as opensourcing in a hostile work environment ;)

[07:26:57] fifel Tu-95?

[07:27:31] fifel The Tu-4 was an exact copy, down to their sample examples’ non-conformances.

[07:29:34] fifel Oh those bombs, as opposed to the other bombs on Germany, yeah. But there were other bombers prior to the B-52, that weren’t as useful long term.

[07:31:15] fifel The B-29 was a bastard to operate though, it was stretching the capacity of the time. The B-52 was mature and matured further.

[07:33:05] fifel If you’re interested in strategic bombardment, I strongly commend the history of the US strategic bombardment of Korea. Korea *perfected* what was haphazard in Japan.

[07:33:47] fifel US strategic airwarfare in Korea deindustrialised one of the most industrialised economies in the era with abhorrent perfection.

[07:34:37] fifel I’m not going to call it a war-crime, because it was legal at the time, but histories of state abhorrence recognise just how perfect the work done there was.

[07:35:19] fifel One of the problems with Japan’s collapse is that the USN has a lot of responsibility for that economic warfare. US submarines were left with nothing to sink.

[07:36:02] fifel Apparently there’s a story that in 1944/1945 a junior staff officer asked, “Why are we debating invading versus atomic bombardment? Why don’t we starve them out with the USN?” And every other service turned their gaze upon him with a look of utter contempt because they wanted to play with their toys too.

[07:37:29] fifel The USN could have obliterated society in Japan across 1945-1947 without bombardment, and with fewer US lives would have been lost than in Olympic/Coronet/Downfall

[07:41:10] fifel Neo_Nemesis: Did you know that Dresden was *planned* as a war-crime but accidentally wasn’t?

[07:43:22] fifel So Arthur Harris (who was shunned after the war by being insufficiently awarded and by Bomber Command not being awarded equivalent unit recognitions compared to other comparable units), planned Dresden as an attack on a civil population by air.

[07:44:06] fifel Attacking a civil population by aerial bombardment was recognised as a war crime, even though NSDAP Germany had left the conventions of war by violating them. The UK and US were still bound.

[07:44:47] fifel However, Hitler had declared Dresden a “feistung” or fortress. Fortresses under siege in law-of-war *do not have civil populations*. Every non-allied POW who died in Dresden died as a combatant under law of war.

[07:56:31] fifel When you try to do a crime, but you fail.

[08:06:38] fifel h4: I’m not rationalising it, I’m talking about the history of the law of war at the time. “War-crime” is a specific accusation. Abhorrence is a moral category.

[08:07:41] fifel h4: They’re not “enemy-combatants” because they’re Allied POWs. They’re the only category of non-combatant in a fortress.

[08:08:08] fifel Vonnegut, for example.

[08:08:41] fifel h4: People who are combatants from Allied countries, currently held by the German state, in Dresden.

[08:09:48] fifel Should I use bracketing to help you? All people who were not (Allied POWS, being people who fight for the allies held as POWs by Germany) in Dresden died as combatants.

[08:11:17] fifel *YES*

[08:12:03] fifel Kurt Vonnegut was in the US Army, was captured, held in Dresden, and saw the firestorm, later he wrote a novel attacking the abhorrence of firebombing Dresden called Slaughterhouse five.

[08:12:10] fifel Fuck you cunt I’m not a Pom or a Sep

[08:12:28] fifel My people’s abhorrent acts are of a different nature.

[08:45:57] fifel I’m a shit cunt

[09:18:08] fifel NUDE TAYNE

[10:14:40] fifel what the fuck have I done now?

[10:16:22] fifel esjay: My GP has torn the shit out of me for living bad, which is good, because even though professions are shit, I respect them because I’m smart enough to be a mark for the ring.

[10:16:44] fifel so I try to do what they tell me

[10:18:50] fifel also I’m trying to get my badly placed mate to get his dip wet to get over his emotions. He’s a genuine type, so he’s more worried about being a bad man, than he could ever be bad.

[10:22:09] fifel “be bad” “be that bad.” He’s an honest cunt about the possibility he’s awful.

[10:26:50] fifel It is what it is

[10:36:13] fifel an esjay?

[10:45:20] fifel Well I got love in my heart, it give me the strength to make it through the day, pride and love and respect in yourself and that’s why I’m not looking for hand outs charity welfare I don’t need stealing dealing knocking my feelings no backstabbing greeding grabbing lying cheating cause I got a deeper love a deeper love a deeper love inside HEGEL

[10:45:52] fifel goodnight good people, keep yourselves well, especially if you’re an awesome bird.
