Is this porn?

[Archae]

Military porn, that is...

1. And the winner...

...of the Rick Roll Foundation award for tonight's most clickable subject line goes to... (Drum roll)....

[Archae]

2. Thank you, thank you...

7. I knew it had to be a trap

I walked into it anyway, didn't even get a bite of cheese.

9. Who wouldn't, though

Naturally I immediately clicked on the link in case there was anything that needed to immediately alerted to a jury, the hosts, the admins, MIRT, the 82nd Airborne Division, the abuse department of the content host, the FBI, and the copyright department of SlutBang Media.

11. Now I have a big bruise!

From falling off my chair laughing.

3. And, what it advertises is most certainly dangerous to peoples' health.

10. As a species...

The fact that we get pleasure from stimulation of our reproductive organs is a net plus.

Also, it gives men and women a reason to talk to each other.

4. Naaah. It looked like a montage of capabilities footage from weapons and platform manufacturers.

If you were gonna porn it up, you would want to be able to actually appreciate the full capabilities of a platform. The music would be slower and more sultry, the camera work more smooth, the images more sharp and clear, and there would be a systematic unveiling of the lines of the platform, the details of the construction of the asset, and the weapons launch and impact would be in slow motion.

8. And bloody corpses. Lots of bloody corpses...

With a long, lingering closing scene zooming into someone's cat or dog that got killed in the attack.

12. No, no, NO. Porn is fantasy. That's gritty reality. Cinéma vérité. Can't have that!!

Think WW2 films made in the postwar aftermath, with John Wayne going over the hill, and the hero always getting "winged" -- never shot through the face. Bandages were always pretty and white, heroes had nice even California tans, and if anyone was dead, they always had the face of an angel in repose. No twisted limbs or exposed bone--everyone dies neatly, with everything buttoned, zipped and tied.

16. It's why Rep. Paul Ray (R-bang-bang) wants to bring back firing squads. Guns don't hurt:

Bet he watched those flicks and the NRA is proud of him!

15. Disagree! The music is perfect that montage. But I love it when you talk dirty:

capabilities footage from weapons and platform manufacturers...

actually appreciate the full capabilities of a platform...

a systematic unveiling of the lines of the platform...

the details of the construction of the asset...

the weapons launch and impact...

I thought the stealth fighter planes going in formation, the fire from all sides of the bomber, the eureka eruption of the white streamers, the sheen of the metal and the other worldly quality of the movement, were all very well done.

No wonder they rule the world, and are more important than elected officials:

POTUS: Oh, God.

General Zod: Zod.



Kneel Before Zod!

"You will bow down before me, Jor-El. I swear it! No matter that it takes an eternity!

YOU WILL BOW DOWN BEFORE ME! BOTH YOU, AND THEN ONE DAY, YOUR HEIRS!"

Yes! The Hero is mine! Nothing can possibly stop me now!

(Superman kneels, his head bowed humbly in defeat, then looks up with big sad blue eyes, as he takes the hand of Zod into his own to kiss in fealty... and crushes it. He smiles pleasantly.)

AAAAAGH! MY HAANNNDD!

~ General Zod

Do I need a icon here?

5. What ever it is, it's obscene.

[Jenoch]

6. I would not consider it porn.

But I only watched a bit at the beginning. I stopped the video when a saw a discontinuee weapons system. (The A-10 tank killer, commonly referred to as the Warthog.)

20. UPDATE--The Warthog has gotten a one year (at least) reprieve.

http://www.defensenews.com/article/20140520/CONGRESSWATCH/305200042/US-Senators-Develop-Plan-Keep-10s-Flying-One-Year

WASHINGTON — Senate Armed Services Committee members have cobbled together a plan to keep the US Air Force’s A-10 attack planes flying for another year.

Committee Chairman Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., told reporters on Tuesday that he and other panel members who want to block the service’s plans to retire the fleet to save money have found hundreds of millions in budgetary offsets to keep the venerable attack planes flying.

The full committee will decide the A-10’s fate when it meets this week to mark up the panel’s version of the 2015 authorization bill. Levin said the plan will be offered as an amendment to the chairman’s mark, which will be the starting point of the panel’s behind-closed-doors work.

“We’re staying within” the base Pentagon budget to find the offsets, Levin said, adding no funds were taken from the military’s overseas contingency operations accounts. ...

14. The people who glorify this see all energy, constructive or destructive, as beauty.

Note the All Seeing Eye on the top of the pyramid at the lower right corner, another trigger. People enjoy feeling the emotional power from destruction, if they aren't on the receiving end of the equation. It does benefit a few, which makes them feel even more powerful and proud. Creation and destruction, are all the same to our gods.

17. Why, yes it is.
