Pssst! Troops! If McChrist-al has banned bombing, call for the artillery. Arty used to be the poor man’s air force, bringing rubble to big trouble. Of course, they prolly don’t have any light artillery anywhere in ‘Stan. Rumsfeldt did away with all the light artillery for tracked 155 MM artillery. The 105MM was the Infantry’s best friend in my day.

They have light artillery in the Kunar - but Traitor in Chief won't let us fire into villages where the tallies are using houses as base of operation - and the hills are steep and close in - no way for troops to get to villages without being ducks in a shooting gallery.
Traitor in Chief has given the tallies the green light - “fire at will on our troops - and I won't let them defend themselves.”
tallies learn fast///

Tell me about it, when I joined the National Guard 9 years ago it was a FA unit I went to. I saw it transition to an infantry unit, along with the rest of the state — particularly disturbing considering that MOST (~70%) of the Army’s “tubes and rotars” are National Guard, and the Guard basically got rid of all their arty — I always thought it was a mistake to get rid of it all.

The 105MM was the Infantry’s best friend in my day. We have much better options today. Ever watch the Military Channel?
