Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?
Re: First Contact
That's a good one!
Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

So they haven't achieved Warp Drive...
From the looks of that thing, it wouldn't appear so...

Re: First Contact
It must have been a tribe that didn't like Comanches, especially Piper Comanche 260s.

You know the Comanche had no civilization, but did have a vast empire. They ruled other tribes as vassals who were forced to pay then tribute.

In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, a Native American empire rose to dominate the fiercely contested lands of the American Southwest, the southern Great Plains, and northern Mexico. This powerful empire, built by the Comanche Indians, eclipsed its various European rivals in military prowess, political prestige, economic power, commercial reach, and cultural influence. Yet, until now, the Comanche empire has gone unrecognized in American history.
This compelling and original book uncovers the lost story of the Comanches. It is a story that challenges the idea of indigenous peoples as victims of European expansion and offers a new model for the history of colonial expansion, colonial frontiers, and Native-European relations in North America and elsewhere. Pekka Hämäläinen shows in vivid detail how the Comanches built their unique empire and resisted European colonization, and why they fell to defeat in 1875. With extensive knowledge and deep insight, the author brings into clear relief the Comanches’ remarkable impact on the trajectory of history.

I expected to be placed in an air force combat position such as security police, forward air control, pararescue or E.O.D. I would have liked dog handler. I had heard about the dog Nemo and was highly impressed. “SFB” is sad I didn’t end up in E.O.D.
