LOL...this coming from a country that hasn't won a major conflict since WW2.

US General says..."Let me show you how we did it in Afghanistan."

So the agreement about troops on the border only applies to Israel? Egypt can put as many troops, tanks, artillery right at the actual border line with impunity?

I don’t think anyone cares about that - its more a matter of Biden siding with Hamas.

Except for the sex slave child hostages traveling with Sinwar, the rest are more than likely dead.

I am not saying I agree with it.
I watched a lot of videos on YouTube from TBN Israel.
Also, from someone called Raptor news. Raptor would show a Gaza map and give troop movements. It made it much easier to comprehend what was going on because most of the places/towns in Gaza I had never heard of prior to October 2023.

TBN Israel gave daily updates from the war zone or from southern Israel.

Charlie Brown, Colin Powell, our last affirmative action, DEI General who, like you, attained high office via “short cuts” is almost unanimously despised for his wokeness and incompetence by The Right in America which is slightly more than half the country.

You are already well on your way to joining Powell in that lowly perch.

Last week the IDF captured 550 at the hospital and killed over 1000 Hamas troops, aka civilians.

The Rafah operation started a few days ago. Their Navy hit buildings right on the border by the sea were Hamas was digging in.

Egypt doesn’t know what to do about the IDF’s Navy right on their border.

Meanwhile, Russia may send100s of thousands of troops to its bases near the Golan.

I have great respect for the AF Senior officers and pilots that I worked with at Hahn AB from 77-79, The Wing Commander, Jim Albritton, was an excellent leader.

I was an Army 2nd Lieutenant who served as the Army Liasion Officer during alerts. Yeah, I heard all the jokes, there’s a great rivalry between the two services.

Current military leaders have yet to earn the same respect.

“Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr”

Isn’t this is the yahoo that said there were too many white officers in the US Air Force?

I was a USN controller 71-75. Enjoyed my time in, respected most of the officers, some I did not. I don’t think I could do the military now...too much has changed in a not-so-good way.

Charles Q. Brown Jr. is a major league embarrassment, and not only for this.

Yes, and this was the same hospital in Gaza city that the IDF had taken about three months ago.
I guess they surprised them and surrounded them before they could escape.

They even found RPGs in the main administration office of the hospital.

” and what successful battles has Brown waged that he can point to? “


None. The US military hasn’t won a war since it was racially integrated.

Our plan is called GFYSBB. It involves new ROE, a new election, and making sure Bibi goes to jail because we want him to get Navalny-ed. Oh, and lots of humanitarian aid, letting all the leaders of Hamas still living have a free vacation in Qatar, all expenses paid, and for all Israelis to ESAD.

The last time the Americans won an actual war was WWII.

AF fighter jockey and chairman of joint chiefs- planning to “aid” Israel. Israel no doubt in disbelief of his credence, regardless of experience. It’s not ground war he’s capable of addressing, and in no way addressing the very real military history of Israel vs— the entire ME. Which the USAF has at best a compromised role— inasmuch as many of the ME countries are in contract/service/purchase arrangements with US mil contractors and esp. aviation contractors. See: Qatar as a major US base location in ME, at the same time housing the 3 billionaires who work for/with Iran to command Hamas. Their days are numbered. Never underestimate the russian and chinee desire to destabilize the decades of US work to maintain peace and stability. Oil being a chief goal of both globalist empire seeking nations.

Austin takes credit for bagging ISIS; Petraeus was credited with the Surge in Iraq - but i connect Brown with no military event of note, but that may be my ignorance. since the Israelis are frequently on the battlefield and always fighting terrorism, it seems rich that we are trying to control the strategy. of course some brass know a thing or two from Iraq, but most of them, if not all are retired.

It’s not the US Military’s position to “accept” Israel’s action.
