Im guessing that you are both a chickenhawk coward and a Trump supporter. I feel bad for all the people the US has been responsible for killing over the last 25 or so years and wonder how much that countless pile of bodies has contributed to the hatred that a great number of people feel for us and the Belgians.

Who is this idiot? The hat and picture combo are horrbile...

We have ‘Special Forces’ there and they are probably with the Kurds. A few ‘A’ Teams equal a lot of well trained, well led indiginous troops, in this case the Kurds. Shortly after the last war was ‘over’ and the Iraqis elected their first post-Saddam government, the Kurds had moved heavily in to Mosul, with the…

Iraq, again.

That is ridiculous. Not all overruns and/or delays are equal and the Starlifter was designed before we knew what shape the gear we would use now. What made the C-17 necessary is that it permitted a larger, more ‘standardized’ cargo compartment. The C-17 can carry 2 helicopters and a dozen -141s cant carry any…

Jezebel is pretty wretched though. The writing and the articles are piss poor, especially when compared to FA or even Jalopnik. I have really tried my best to read and even like Jezebel and have been unsuccessful.

What makes a paratrooper is not falling out of an aircraft attached to a static line. What makes paratroopers different is that when we go, we are fully committed. There is no getting home the way you got there. While being surrounded makes lesser infantry break, paratroopers voluntarily agree to start off surrounded…

Static line jumps are the vast majority of jumps that anyone in the military takes. High altitude drops are expensive as hell.

That is your reserve and your backpack that makes you look like a pregnant rhinoceros beetle. As soon as you unass the plane, there are two pulldown tabs that connect the backpack to you. If you pull those, your 100 pound pack then drops down on a 20 foot tether. This line now gives you another few ways of getting…

The person who wrote this ‘article’ is a blithering idiot. I really dont like reading crosslisted pieces from Jezebel and this article is a great example of why.

Supreme Court Justices are never required to recuse themselves, they can rule on any case they wish.

You are an idiot.

No, this doesnt happen all the time and this particular case has never happened before at all. All you are is a willfully ignorant right winger trying to justify the unjustifiable.

You are incorrect. A great deal of Russia’s economy is predicated on dollars and they are in grave danger of running out of dollars in the very near future, which would be a disaster for Russia.

Only a small handful of North Korean artillery can reach as far as Seoul. The actually city itself is over 25 miles away and only the longest range artillery the Norks have can reach that far, even with subcaliber munitions.

Direct fire isnt going to be an issue, as any beach we were to assault would be pretty well ‘prepped’ by whatever naval gunfire and aerial bombardment assets that were detailed to the job.

You dont know much about targeting then, lol. Indirect fire is the real danger against an amphibious assault and it gives not 2 shits about smoke.

Talk about a bad view of the world, you dont seem to be aware of all the times that North Korea has attacked the South Koreans, including the loss of life over the last decade or so. There have been at least 50 deaths, many wounded and dozens of attacks by North Korea since 2010, so you may want to rethink that ‘North…

‘You killed Jesus’ is a pretty loaded phrase with a lot of ugly history behind it. It really isnt in any way, shape or form acceptable in a public setting like a high school sports even, even if the other side were being a bunch of assholes (and they were).

He just explained it and if you dont understand then you are being willfully ignorant. The sly assumption that an outing of all one sex is homosexual in nature is a implication of long years here in the USA and ‘Brokeback Mountain’ and Smith College are prime examples.
