I do agree with Yandere's sentiment that words not wording workingly do be a problem this time of year.

Scratch that, place your bets on polymarket.

Looks like I'll be working on memorial day weekend. And no, this does not mean place any bets on polymarket.

due to a typo on my part I was nearly convinced I owed the IRS nearly $3000 in excess taxes this year.

Bio
-There will be delays in replies. Largely due to working overtime, voluntary obligations; other RPs and online-things may compete for my attention.
'Bout me:
Started RPing (badly) back in '05, mostly doing nation-RPs with an emphasis on technology and strategy, later edging out to character-espionage and military-tactics before doing "less serious" character roleplays that were outside of the 2005-2008 continuity.
That's when I went to Dead-Frontier, and found the RP community there, joined a clan, did some pretty good roleplays and pretty much loosened-up my online-personality. When the clan-leader decided to move her RPs here, most of the clan followed.
Took a course in technical-writing back in '08, so now I may sometimes use the semicolon correctly.
In 2010 I dusted off the old nation-RP continuity I had, doing a few hetelia-esque RP-shenanigans there..
RP-Habbits: I tend to geek-out on little technical-details, and sometimes infer how those details would impact the background of the roleplay. Great for world-building, not so great when you had a perfectly good plotline and I just MacGyver it off the rails (though I usually er to the side of amusement, sometimes it creates very grim side-stories).

do i know you?
Would you like to learn more?
If we knock Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Venezuela off the list of potential enemies (as they don't employ the A-37 at all), then the pool favors A-37s and Su-25s.
-In a way, the fact they are flying such common planes (and more than 3) actually narrows-down who is financing their war.
/over-thought
Although this does mean that a surprise could be in order.
Interestingly enough, some units of the US Air Force kept using the A-37 itself [skipping the A-7E] until replaced by the A-10.
They were then sold to south-America (alongside the A-7E) in large quantities.
They are notoriously nimble.
-As they WERE for a time the plane of choice for the Firebirds.
All this aside, the A-37 only has a .30 cal gat and a few bits of unguided ordnance. So I'm surprised that they're balsy enough to be doing a daylight-raid.
The A-7, although it doesn't have the 30mm of an A-10, it had the 20mm Vulcan, and more than twice the ammo-load for than other planes. Keep in mind it's a 20mm, but shoots faster than a certain flak-cannon. It still makes chunky-salsa out of infantry.

The Super-7 looks and has a lot more in common with a JL-9 than an antique J-7 or the JF-17.
Wing- and rear-fuselage profiles still identical, but that nose is a whole 'nother monster.
Otherwise, the only other thing to fault is the multiple go-arounds to land causing much frustrations for whoever is stuck sucking wind behind you.

*Is furiously crunching numbers for taxes*
On that note, taxes, weeee.
Foster was on a slight motivational-speaker-high when posting that.
So pretend that was Billy Mayes.

Abraham Lincoln was the best we've ever had, before or after him as a President in the United States, maybe even everywhere.
Andrew "old action hickory" Jackson would like to challenge Lincoln to a duel.
Broadswords in a pit at dawn's early light?
Also going to give a shout out to General John J. "black-lovin jack" Pershing for pushing for an independent tank-company, and for de-segregation of the US Army.
Rommel actually started having issues starting at Torbuk, where the over-stretched supply-line forced the axis to make a series of costly hasty-assaults upon the British garrison from which they never really recovered their momentum.
He made a really good effort to go back to the offensive in 1942, and achieved success in terms of gains/losses even though these gains were inconsequential to the bigger picture of a protracted war starting in Russia, and an aborted invasion of England. The fact that he managed to rush a disproportionate amount of troops from the strategic reserve was a greater indication of Hitler's favoritism than juggling what little he had remaining under his belt. Having only 50 German tanks and 14 Italian out of what was initially over 100 tanks at the start of that year.
For 2nd El Alamien, he managed to get reinforced up to nearly 500 tanks, and he promptly lost 50 of them (and nearly 30% of his manpopwer) in the first 2 days of the September operation.
By November, he only had 20 tanks, no fuel save for what was already inside the tanks, and hardly any ammunition.
It is true, he was up against ridiculously larger forces, but the above doesn't really paint a picture of any more brilliance than parking your car in the way of a speeding locomotive, then buying a new car to replace it. Repeat until the dealership runs out of cars.
Also: Employing minefields. Never bothered to develop a way to clear a minefield.
