Any truth to this?

Me neither. You either want to win or you don’t. I wouldn’t care if they sent in troops to clean up the area.

Also, there seems to be a defined line between the town and the ISIS positions. This isn’t a case of destroying the vill in order to save it.

They are in a slow death as it is. The fall of that city to ISIS will be a far worse fate than carpet bombing.

According to RT (I know, I know) there are 2,200 ISIS fighters surrounding that town. Seems to me that the Russians could helicopter in some Syrian troops and have aircraft on station for air support. Should be able to clean this mess up in a day or two.

Yeah, so what is wrong with carpet bombing? ISIS? I think cluster bombing ISIS positions would be pretty efficient as well. Heavy bombing followed by helicopter gunships to clean up any survivors would be effective. I think the terrain in the area would be well suited for these tactics.

One day everyone will talk like a host on NPR and we can all sit around and wonder why the world sucks so much.

Car and Driver explains FSW

This conjures up images of mile long convoys of ISIS “fighter” in brand new WHITE Toyota technicals. Unmolested. When we could have easily shut them down. Probably. We have stopped using cluster bombs. Which was one decision in a long line of stupid in the last few years. I’m not sure that the new concrete filled,…

There was almost no traffic out there. The cop got busted for being stupid. The biker got a busted rib. Big deal.

I don’t know what tone you are aiming for here. But. . .

As a guy who has had all sorts of shitty jobs, if you take the order? How have I made you do anything? This is one messed up thread.

If you want to get up an hour early go right the fuck on and get up. Why do you think you get to roll me out of the sack an hour early?

It’s the biggest crock of shit ever conceived. I walk around like a zombie for 8 months. Put it on standard time and leave it alone.

Look for some massive air ship of some kind that can shoot enemy fighters down at long distances. The day of the fighter itself is coming to an end.

A weapons truck could be made very cheaply from a commercial airliner and tote an incredible amount of ordinance.

Finally, some common sense, knock out about 1,000 Silent Eagles and 1,500 upgraded F-16s. Some of these posts are ridiculous. And then, lets take a pause and look for new ways to achieve air superiority,

Saving on paint and simplifying manufacturing

No. I was seriously hit by a 14 year old. Not uncommon to see kids driving on deserted country roads in Mississippi but this was in town. She ran but the crowd outside the beer store gave her away.

Yep. Bench seats are a totally political issue.
