Apparently Unit 61398 doesn't approve of the beeb

But why contribute when nitpicking is so much fun :p
Anyways, just an idle thought. Breaking these conflicts down by something reminiscent to man-hours (man-months/years?) might be a bit more...
Objectively this is true.
But putting countries into boxes labeled BLUFOR and OPFOR is far simpler and more emotionally gratifying, even if it obfuscates the reality of the situation.
Aside...
A real shame, but also a display of character. Petraeus could've stayed on as DCIA despite the affair, past Directors certainly have.
Damn it sir, now I've got coffee on my screen.

Wow, I'm surprised the Chinese are becoming so assertive over the Senkaku/Diaoyutai spate. Panetta made it pretty clear that US security guarantees to Japan extend to the disputed islets by offering...
Wow, nothing much to add, just very amused that the some of the guys developing my favorite game franchises are being arrested for espionage.
Also, it should be noted the Bohemia is also the...
Curious, is steroid use common in combat arms units? I've heard whispers in cadet land but it's nearly impossible to seperate the solid info from the bs here
Right, but if the ROC's AShM capability is structured in a way that mitigates the impact PLAAF/2nd Artillery Corp stand-off fires have on their operational effectiveness, then how can the PLAN...
I've been reading papers on Taiwan and Operation Change of Direction this weekend and, while I might be chasing phantoms, I started to see a lot of connections between the attributes Hezbollah...
Is anyone aware of a publically accesible overview of the IDF's organization, institutional tenents, budget, and physical composition. It's for a breifing product so it doesn't have to be anything...
Uh, actually
Didn't know we already had a thread for it.
:o
I think you all see where the template comes from :D
Interested in seeing where this thread leads.
Here's my line up from Friday.
Armadillo
The Battle of Algiers
Full Metal Jacket
Saw this last night, definitely a worthwhile read.
Came about when I sent an email to a field grade requesting the TA-50 for an upcoming training opportunity. Apparently it didn't translate at all, six hours later I ended up getting an email from his...
"TA-50" is fairly universal nomenclature for "list of individual equipment required" in the US Army, right?
I'm biased, but from my limited experience, I'm highly inclined to agree. Service Academies may have higher performing alumni than other commissioning sources (I assume this is the case, don't...
that is a bit uncomfortable, but I think needs to be asked. What exactly has the conflict in Libya shown us about the state of the armed forces of Western Europe, Britain and France in particular?...
I think its that the BBC doesn't stream online content to people outside of the UK, since only UK citizens subsidize the Beeb
EDIT: Or maybe not, this video streamed just fine. Weird
Ok, but do they have a good plan?
Personally, I think that the Chinese government has started buying the same bull it's sellling, that China is going to maintain it's current rate of economic...
From where I'm sitting (on my lofty perch as an 18 y.o. highschool student) I think that officer selection and training weeds out the canidates who can't operate effectively because of the severity...
Using an all female crew is pretty clever of the Lebanese.
http://warisboring.com/ is a good site, its run by freelance journalist David Axe and provides some interesting insights into low intensity and irregular conflict from an extremely engaging...
Looking for some clarification here.
Are the article and associated comments referring to the multiple challenges caused by urban terrain during COIN and low intensity operations specifically,...
