"I'd also be wondering a few other things such as posible NBC gear issuance to troops or anything else indicating a possible move to a nuclear battlefield."

NBC gear is part of standard issue according to MTOE orginization for the last 30 years. There won't be any sudden issue of NBC equipment as it is part of standard issue.

Norfolk? its a little late for them to be in Norfolk.

Iran knows that in a conventional showdown, they are toast. the only way they can succeed, is to use the element of proximity to the theatre, and the time it would take US forces to ramp up, to their advantage. if they can make a quick move and seize some key oil field assets in iraq, entrench their ground forces there, and ramp up all their proxy attacks (shia militia, terrorists, syria, etc), start destroying tankers in the Persian Gulf and send oil to $200 - what happens?

its like the battle of the bulge - Germany wasn't try to win the war with that offensive, as in defeating the Allies. they were simply trying to break the allied determination to pursue the war, with the hope of getting the allies to consider a negotiated settlement rather then fighting total war to the end to break Germany.

Do you think the americans are ready to fight a war with iran? or would they be looking at $6 gasoline and say - let's make a deal with these guys.

We cannot conduct an atmospheric test. The United States is bound by treaty not to conduct tests in the atmosphere, underwater, or in outer space.

Welcome to FR, BTW.

I won't be kind to draftees, and I don't want to serve with them. I like the all volunteer force. Americans serving America the Beautiful.

The draft is slavery, IMHO, and I realy don't want draftees in my unit. Thankyouverymuch.

NBC gear is part of standard issue according to MTOE orginization for the last 30 years.

True ... but are the contractors covered with NBS protective gear as well or would they have to get covered up in a last minute issuance? I think they migth have to get something at the last minute, quiaff?

[StoneWall Brigade]

thanks i'll do that

[SierraWasp]

Ok, you tell me, why he would bother with all that, yet not stop starving his people? You can't explain that to my satisfaction! No sir!!!

[JRandomFreeper]

Your picture had great balance. I will sleep better, seeing that photo.

Their launch-poo is weak. Ours is strong.

God Bless America.

Norfolk? its a little late for them to be in Norfolk.

That was what I had read and noted as of last week .. now ? Who knows.

Do you think the americans are ready to fight a war with iran?

No, but I think the government is ready .... maybe at the cost of an impeachment ... but I hope that we're ready for whatever comes down the pipe.

Then again I may just be whistling past the graveyard.

Should perform a ground-level test, say, in Mecca or Medina.

[StoneWall Brigade]

i do think more troops would be good i agree 100% we need a Draft

[AmericanInTokyo]
