You must be omnipotent if you have a grasp on the totality of US foreign policy and its implementation.
Hopefully he gets charged with desertion. I doubt there were many similarities between himself and Col Rowe during his time as a pow
Who says I'm proud of my governments response? Its pretty easy to make the case that this administration is indecisive, I won't argue against that. The policy makers are not people I hold much faith...
Edited to add.
This question was to far too harsh and upset the very constitution of our most esteemed commonwealth friend. For that I shall humbly submit the required text and nix my crude...
I don't see Austrians or South Africans clamoring to send their fighting men into the fray, so why shout so loudly? Would you volunteer your sons (figurative or literal) for this war?
If you are going to do it, you need to have discretion and be willing to face the consequences. "Aiding and abetting the enemy" is easy for the US gov to pursue if they aren't all too sure who the...
I was a participant in a class today going over ARSOF 2022 and the Strategic Landpower Task Force white paper when the discussion shifted towards FID itself. The argument was made that currently and...
A couple thoughts. Its doubtful that many if anyone on this board knows the full extent of any support being given indirectly. If someone does it isn't being discussed with reason. So we are all...
Depends on where you read the book from I guess. I found it overly laden with hyperbole on a variety of subjects. If it wasn't on my kindle I would go back and pull some examples but when you call...
I would recommend against Dirty wars by Jeremy Scahill. His description of some of the regular training i.e. sere shows he really doesn't get it. The whole book just slams JSOC and coddles people...
Im sure its life altering for those directly affected by the violence if they come from a background where violence of the sort is a rarity. For outsiders hearing about violence, its old hat in my...
There are a few TQ designed to put pressure on the abdominal aorta and a few more designed for the femoral artery at the hip. The ones that seem to work the best are the ones that use screw tension...
I doubt we really care about chemical weapons use. HE has and will kill many more than any type of gas use at the end of the day. We only need this as a pretext for doing whatever it is we feel like...
Im still trying to find it, is it online now?
the big question is why alert hezbollah intentionally? are they not our enemies?
To me it shows how powerful hezbollah is. If they we're inconsequential, what would we care if they were harmed?...
Aljazeera also ran a piece on the criticism of their reporting. They gave quite a bit of space to the NED to refute claims against them. Its possible some three letter people run sources through them...
They were only partially described as being "teens", not muslim immigrants. Irritable teenagers is so much easier to dismiss...

Its been interesting to watch the american reaction to the report by the UN stating that it may have been the rebels who were responsible for the release of sarin, if it happened at all.

Good frontline episode just came out. Does a decent job of getting a sample of each factions perspective on the war.

Ive got some local context given to me and some general thoughts.
A very good friend of mine is part of a wealthy and well connected korean family living in seoul. They have been moving money out...
Trying to find a sowing somewhere in north carolina. Looks like a good time
Even if the standards were to be the same, I still wouldn't like it. Yet, knowing the army, they will not be the same. Men will die when they are too heavy in kit to be drug to cover by a female in...
you don't need to be a scholar to do that, 18 year olds do it everyday downrange. perhaps interviewing a group of people who have a couple of tics under their belt and looking for similarities would...
