The one bright spot about the Ministry of Defense’s procurement process is that Urgent Operational Requirements tend to get filled VERY quickly for troops in theater when it would usually take years through traditional channels. A far cry from the days of the Iraq invasion where some soldiers were being sent to battle…

The thing Ive learnt most about victims of genocide is that they tend to take on a far more militant and aggressive posture to defend their interests and ensure they never become victims ever again. If that means becoming the oppressor themselves then so be it, the ends justifies the means as the alternative is much…

British Army soldiers on deployment in Afghanistan are issued an entirely new set of kit in line with 21st century standards and interchangeable with NATO partners. Territorial (National Guard equivalents) soldiers back home like me were often left with kit that was first issued in the 80s. To make matters worse, my…

Anecdotally, my Israeli American friend seems rather pleased that people have taken up Muslim bashing instead of Jew bashing these days, puts him on the same side and has resulted in far less people bringing up the topic of Palestine in conversation and even brings him praise from his service in the IDF.

I agree, Trump is quite literally the ultimate troll, the sheer flood of tears being generated by him is probably the source of a great number of his votes.

And we all know what happens to ‘girly boys’ in Afghanistan...

Meanwhile back in the UK our standard issue steel bricks known as the Radway Green magazines could in theory be used to beat the enemy to death if necessary, they were a bitch to carry in large numbers though.

Numerous Foxtrot Alpha and Jalopnik articles are exactly that, thats why a photo dump like this belongs there, not in an article that is specifically about one Russian vehicle.

Putinbots are still relevant to the topic bud, if you want to argue with them go ahead as long as its about the truck and/or Russia. Random photos of NATO aircraft contribute nothing to the topic at hand and even if you disagree Tyler’s authority is final, deal with it.

Those pictures are irrelevant to the topic at hand, if anything they are less relevant than any Putinbots spouting their Kremlin sponsored posts as at least they will likely be talking about this truck.

At least the Putinbots are discussing the article, this is just spam and irrelevant to the discussion.

Not only that, the white ones are wearing all the fancy clothes, white privilege: 3000 BC

But when a pet dies in cargo and its grieving owner plasters their outrage all onto facebook and it goes viral getting picked up by news outlets, the airline will likely lose a great deal of ticket sales.

With the number of pets getting killed from travelling in cargo, fuck that shit http://edition.cnn.com/2013/01/11/liv…

You address the strategic nuances but ignore the human politics of a second Korean war. With Seoul in ruins and potentially millions dead, the South will be screaming for immediate retribution with 60 years of planning, preparation, resentment, propaganda and firepower being released by both sides.

McCain in early 2008 was tolerable, then he chose Sarah Palin and by extension helped create the mess called the Tea Party, hardly left in my eyes.

Its November during election night, the dejected Democrats watch in horror as Bloomberg’s third party run saps millions of votes away from them whilst Trump’s poll numbers only get yuger and YUUUGER.

Except Trump is the leftmost GOP nominee in decades, so it kind of takes the edge off of the narcissistic buffoon dictatorial sociopathy just a bit.

This kind of blatant pandering will simply piss off minorities who dont want to be treated like props and will alienate white voters form Hillary as well. Trump is going to love this.

The reason why the US and Russia are often so much at odds with each other is because their attitudes towards the world are often disturbingly similar.
