@disgruntledemployee First, you put words in my mouth that I didn’t say. There are several things to be frustrated with on the tactical and operational level. That said, there is no war or great achievement without frustrations. So, yeah, there are actually sensible and good objectives with plans and contingencies addressed. Also, it was never all going to get done in 2-3 weeks. That was a dumb timeline from the beginning, but that doesn’t mean we barged in without a plan or zero thought put towards contingencies, off-ramps, etc. Bottom line: it’s a lot better than the MSM and you would like it to be. The red line for me would be mass ground invasion for longterm “nation building” (aka the last 25 years). I don’t support that one bit, and would view it as a leadership failure.

Summation of the last page: several people with not a lot of actual SA acting like they’ve got it all figured out. Par for the course I guess.

Nobody is rolling dice. There is inherent high risk in MCO and what is required to achieve intent/objectives - shouldn’t be a shock to anyone.

I hope they win tens of millions and never have to work another day in their life.

ROE, risk tolerance, intent…all different than anything we’ve seen since the 90s. So that’s why you end up seeing something like this come out on the internet.

This ain’t that war, not even close.

I’m really sick of bullshit like this. There’s needs to be a change in how we do business - you’re a lawmaker who makes this law, SCOTUS rejects it on obvious unconstitutional grounds, then you as legislator should pay a price…financial, immediate termination, I don’t know…but something.

Depends on the priorities and risk assessment - sometimes it makes sense.

Oil pissing contest aside, Iran has brought death, destruction, and/or destabilization to most of the world for many decades. They are, and have been, wildly dangerous for a long time. It’s a failure that nothing with teeth behind it had been done about it decades ago. So while execution is never perfect, and there are valid critiques, it’s asinine to act like the status quo (or similar version) was doing just fine. War is ugly and unwanted, but it will continue to be necessary and unavoidable for the rest of human existence on this planet.

You’re outraged at a hat? Is this a serious question or am I missing sarcasm?

The guy said Iran posed no imminent threat? What a dumbass, glad he’s gone.

Firstly, poor taste in photo choice, obviously. Secondly, the offer is par for the course across many presidential PACs that span R and D. Thirdly, this is a PAC, not the president directly - he had zero personal direction associated with wording or picture. Bottom line - whoever in the PAC made the photo choice is a dipshit, but the fake outrage directed directly at Trump is just that.

Damn, not news I wanted to wake up to. Prayers for those (and their families) involved. The Wild West is unforgiving - thank you to all the tanker bros crushing it out there, you guys are doing great work in a tough environment.

This is what happens when stupid and/or completely uninformed people make up a majority of voters. Elections have consequences, as they say. And in many cases, it’s really the consequence of rational people being too damn lazy to go vote.

You guys are giving way too much credit to gulf states…it is horribly apparent how much they have no idea what they’re doing with all the equipment we sell them (nor do they appear to use any reasonable application of ROE, SPINs, etc.) It’s far worse than I imagined.
