Agreed. But if you design to fight in a European environment and find you suddenly have to fight in the desert or mountains you send what you have and ship mod kits for the equipment when they are available. It may take a bit before the equipment gets modified. Until then the equipment may have a rough time.

Not all Muslims are our enemies and Putin is NOT our friend.

Not all Muslims are our enemies

If they aren't they are apostates.

Peshmerga. Jordan. Iran Freedom fighters. Anti-ISIS Syrian Freedom Fighters. Egyptian leadership and its supporters.
Obama supports anti-Western, anti-Christian, anti-Semitic Muslim Jihadists like CAIR, THE Muslim BROTHERHOOD, etc. He does it for two reasons: 1. He hates us and they do also, and both want to destroy America. 2. He wants to create hatred and division between all people and by supporting them, he is creating hatred between us and all Muslims. He is SATANIC. Check out American Islamic Forum for Democracy.

With the headline, first thing I thought was ... Gee, they never had stories like these when we were doing the bombing.

Sand.

Yep, like Germany in the Spanish Civil war.

Propaganda.

Ol' Barky SHALL NOT be portrayed the wuss he is.

When I was in Afghanistan I can recall only one maintenance issue, which occurred while we were in the air. We RTB’d, got it fixed and were on our way within an hour. Other than that, we always completed the mission. That was over the course of 77 combat missions.

I thought sturdiness and reliability was one thing they did well.

That’s their broadcast. Always has been.
