While China unveiled a new doomsday nuclear bomb that can strike the US within 30 minutes with ten warheads, a top US General declared gender and race diversity to be a warfighting necessity against the homogeneous forces of China and Russia.
Were truly screwed.
Billed as the ultimate doomsday weapon, the fearsome super nuke was displayed during Chinas 70th anniversary parade in Tiananmen Square.
The Dongfeng-41 is a 7,672 mph intercontinental ballistic missile that is said to have the furthest range of any nuclear missile and could reach the US in 30 minutes, reports the Sun.

“Which do you think: slobbering moron, or another traitor?”
IMHO, this is not an “either/or” question. I think it could be a
“...slobbering moron and another traitor?”
What an embarrassment to the Corps.
Well, I have already opined that phase one was to allow ANY and EVERY thing to join your ranks and lower standards when and where required to accommodate.
When you get the ‘virile young men’ to cut and run the results are predictable.
So now your USMC is ‘filled’ with more ‘worthless’ than not and it starts to go downhill.
Now that the ‘active base’ has been decimated, you go after ‘us’, those that still maintain sense of pride and considered it an honor to serve- so when things were starting to go ‘iffy’, we said no way, this can’t be happening.
BUT it is.
Went I went USN in 1956 one of the reasons was to get away from ‘Mom, Sis and those that we would rather not associate with’.
NOW they are catering to the ‘oddballs’.
The old joke of the Gunny was getting out and they said “I thought you were going to do 40”
“I was but when I came in have a ‘boyfriend’ was sure to bring one brig time, then it became Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, and from what I see, it won’t be long before it is mandatory”.
Dont remember source. I live on coast. Remember story well
Participation trophies? :)
Yep, we need to often thank those in harm's way, who night and day, thousands of miles away from their own families, are ready and waiting to annihilate any who would attack us in our slumber. Their efforts and sacrifices are what's really keeping us safe!
And on the missile confusion, I've discovered China unveiled two new missiles during its recent military parade.
"The DF-17 [pictured at the beginning of the thread], which is thought to be a medium-range system, made an impact at a range of approximately 1,400 kilometers with the HGV flying at a depressed altitude of around 60 kilometers following the completion of the DF-17s ballistic and reentry phases, according to the report. HGVs begin powered flight after separating from their ballistic missile boosters, which follow a standard ballistic trajectory to give the payload vehicle sufficient altitude."
Above excerpted here:
The other missile is the DF-41 intercontinental nuclear missile capable of carrying 10 warheads, pictured below:

Well, those CGI missiles are dark-colored...
Not familiar with the SR-71, are you?
Where are the chines?
Khrushchev said “we will destroy you from within.” No question our own sloth has hastened the progress toward K’s goal but the communist-style influence in the union influence upon teachers has gone a long way toward accomplishing all of what K could have ever hoped for.
[[[Well, those CGI missiles are dark-colored...

The whole nose section looks like one or the drone including the “chines”.

OK -- if you say so...
I guess that "'Chines' are in the eye of the beholder"...

In fairness, that was an Air Force general.
To equate gender with race as diversity is absurd. There are all kinds of reasons why a man or a woman may be wrong for certain jobs in the military, but none for why one race or another would be wrong.
Yep, nose sections look virtually the same. Thanks for the comparison pictures.
Here's a better view of those "DF-17" hypersonic payload buses:
Looks like a typical flat-bottomed "hypersonic sled" design, IMO...
Actually, that overhead view in the article just shouts, "Propaganda Photo" to me...
I suppose the above observations should be tempered with the fact that the ChiCom (and Nork) cultures are extremely "symbolism-oriented".
For example, examination of photos of their "Propaganda Parades"shows that all vehicles have freshly-painted, white Roman character ID numbers on their sides -- and that vehicles are deployed side-by side -- In perfect numerical order...
IMO, our intel folks should be studying that symbolism-driven" cultural mindset carefully. Methinks there are some tactical ( if not strategic) clues therein...
Thanks for your keen observation!! Without it, I'd just have passed by this article as "more of the same redchink stuff..."
FReegards,

There may be much to be gleaned from the fact that "DF-17" is fairly low in their Dongfeng" missile series. (Does it mean they finally solved hypersonic glide-flight? Or does it mean that they have perfected "Mini-MIRV" capability? Or... is it all propaganda...?)
17 is the letter Q. Just saying.
Diversity is our stink.

Great photo. Thanks for the additional info and your observations!

Fantasizing about imaginary tunnels must bring you great joy.
