Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

I'd wager the club's globe-troting balloon did not have any heat signature to attrack such missles. So right there something doesn't make sense.A small, globe-trotting balloon declared “missing in action” by an Illinois-based hobbyist club on Feb. 15 has emerged as a candidate to explain one of the three mystery objects shot down by four heat-seeking missiles launched by U.S. Air Force fighters since Feb. 10.
..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.

The AIM-9X is not heat-seeking. They were made by Raytheon here in Tucson. They aren't making them anymore; they've been superseded.BackInTex wrote: ↑Thu Feb 16, 2023 6:08 pmI'd wager the club's globe-troting balloon did not have any heat signature to attrack such missles.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
