The war in Afghanistan was basically a modern version of chasing Geronimo around the mountains of New Mexico.
We optimized our military for that.
And here we are.
When I started out in aerospace there were 26 major companies. Now there are 4.
Milley admitted to MUTINY
( a.c. spit )
You’re thick if you don’t get it. Apparently, you’re thick. So just go on your way, it’s obviously over your head.
I believe that the IRS has much more ammo than they need.
You seem angry. Cheer up.☺
I see autocorrect had its way after I quit watching my back
Milley admitted to MUTINY on national tv, MATTIS gave 83 billion worth of arms and ammo away,
China’s navy is building ships including ROROS as fast as they can, don’t be so sure it won’t go kenetic on our soil starting in the Pacific Islands and working it’s way to the west coast.
Our sub commanders now run into underwater sea mounts, and our navy collides with other ships in fair weather and broad daylight and can’t put out a ship board fire while at doc, the Patriots have been vac purged, the remaining are vac poisoned and / or have bandaged genitals.
The air force had to fire more than once to down a dang balloon.
I’m not reassured.
You shouldn’t be reassured.
There are severe problems in the US Armed Forces. Some of these have to do with a lack of the most modern and most relevant weapons, but thats just one part of the issues, though the subject of the OP.
My point is that whats being talked about and argued endlessly - shortages of 155mm, HIMARS missiles and Javelins - is missing the actual point.
I’ve been saying for years, those controlling D.C. are the disciples of deceit, the crowns of corruption, with policies of bad intentions. No joke.
I am no longer proud of our country. It has been so messed up by Biden and Obama that it is so screwed.
Big fan of Thomas Sowell.
Thanks for posting!
I concede your point.
Distribute all that hardware to the US Citizens and they could have any government they damn well pleased.
Yep.
.
Btw slick, I noted you completely evaded the question at #28.
Go ahead, give it a shot.
Better yet, cut half of the General/Flag Officer slots, clean out the sclerotic arteries of officers who haven't been near a troop unit for ten years. They're still planning for the last war, and generally getting in the way of preparing for the next war.
Those jobs can be filled by Colonels and LTCs.
I went to work for my old battalion commander, when he was put in charge of a major directorate at Fort Bliss (we ended up there about the same time in 81). Though I was a Captain with a year TIG, he appointed me his Operations Officer, slotted for a LT Colonel (no, I didn't get a bump in pay...lol). It was a great job, I enjoyed the challenge.
So, just in time ammo isn’t a good idea?
And thanks to the green cultists we can’t produce enough lead on our own soil.
Meth and Fentanyl are weapons...
You nailed it. The Obama years lifted every incompetent officer to general officer level. After that it was self perpetuating with the Obama Generals lifting their communist buddies up.
