OT: Why Obama is Mum About Harvard

[surveyor]

The Dilbert principle

[quote=pri_dk][quote=surveyor]It isn’t a position that is given to you.[/quote]

You are correct. I’m sure you learned during your many years of service, that there is no nepotism in the military. Never. And no one ever cheats on exams either…

This is where facts come in. W. was trained, tested, competed with others, and was qualified to fly military aircraft. Despite what you may think of our military, there are very few who would put an unqualified person into the seat of such an aircraft. Flying such expensive machinery entails hours and hours of training. Flying a plane (especially back then) is not the same as getting your driver’s license. You do not put unqualified people into a million dollar machine.

You can’t cheat your way into that, despite how little you think of our military.

So you should be able to show how to solve this problem right? Please go ahead.

And while you’re doing that, you should be able to operate this right?

Surveyor, you’ve made a good point — GW was a little less stupid than we remember, although he did only score a 25% on his pilot aptitude test and never would have been accepted into the Texas Guard had it not been for”affirmative action” from his congressman father. But Bush did have the smarts to dodge Vietnam by entering the Guard, so he did have something going on upstairs.

All due respect, but starting from nowhere, getting through Harvard, and becoming a law professor at the University of Chicago takes a lot more brain power than getting a 25% on your pilot aptitude test. If anyone received the blessings of affirmative action, it was Bush. Had it not been for his family, he’d be running a GM car lot in Houston (and we’d all be a lot better for it).

Surveyor: Apropos of nothing, the F-106 Delta Dart was designed to fire the “Genie” Air 2A nuke. It was a 1.5Kt yield nuke and was meant to be deployed against Russian strategic bomber formations attacking US targets.

It was an air-to-air nuke. That’s some amazing shit when you think about it.

Alright, back to the regularly scheduled programming.
