Would love to hear what takes of mine pertaining to this war are “laughably incorrect” Is it, in no particular order: -That Israel roped us into this -Our own DNI said Iran wasn’t making a nuke prior to the start of the war -Our destruction of a non-factor navy and Air Force doesn’t amount to a strategic win -Iran was never in a weak negotiating position which is why we signed a deal favorable to them -Iran’s TBM stockpile is mostly intact and the primary tool for their power projection -The blockade of their blockade didn’t do shit -Bombing cave entrances in a country of 90 million people the size of the entire eastern US didn’t (and isn’t currently) accomplish shit -We did not effect regime change and in fact ended up with a more hardline one -The people did not rise up -We have depleted our interceptor and SOW munitions to an alarming level that will take years to replace -We are objectively on the back foot in other AORs that had their resources poached for this boondoggle -Trump’s apocalyptic and incoherent messaging was strategically damaging and galvanized the Iranian public against us -We fell into an escalation trap that we now cannot get out of -Still don’t have the nuke dust -Constant admin goalpost shifting about the objectives where now just getting the strait back open and un-tolled would be considered a win There ya go. Feel free to address any of them specifically and I’ll respond with well sourced arguments. But this hiding behind “you don’t know what you’re talking about” or “you’d know the real story if you were in the strat division vault” is just pathetic BS. We can all see the shitshow unfolding with our own eyes.

I don’t know what clearances you have or don’t have. But I do know from your long and distinguished history of laughably incorrect, half baked posts that you do in fact have zero clue on the topic of this thread. I’m sure there’s things you’re smart on and well informed on, but this ain’t it.

When you have zero coherent argument in support of this war:

It never ceases to amaze me how much humans will run their mouths on things they have zero actual knowledge on. But, I guess egos are going to ego.

...says all the people that don't currently work in the Strat Division... noted

Yeah we wrecked all the parts that didn’t matter in the first place but don’t tell the neocon war hawks that. They just spent the last two months circlejerking about how we obliterated a navy that was totally irrelevant and an Air Force of nothing but museum pieces. Turns out we never made much of a dent in the actual ballistic missile inventory because bombing cave entrances doesn’t destroy anything.. it just denies access to them temporarily. Anyone with half a brain cell knew from the outset that the TBM threat and ability to close the strait were always the two crucial things forming the basis for Iran’s regional power projection. Those both remain intact and will not be solved by renewed bombing. We’re now in the “more cowbell” phase of this dumb war where we’re just doing stuff that already didn’t work, with no clear end in sight. It’s just so sad no one predicted this would devolve into a directionless boondoggle

“Health passport” is a great idea. The positive way to look at this is screening for 30+ is certainly a step in the right direction (and as stated, not nearly enough…but it’s a start). I’m not seeing a negative, at least a logical one. I am 100% against forced therapy/drugs, but that isn’t happening, so it’s a moot point.

How many C-21 bases?

I thought their military was gone?

Okay so now we've gone from this shouldn't be mandatory, to this should be mandatory and so should a whole bunch of other things? I'm just trying to follow along.

Are they producing new ballistic missiles? I'm just reading what you quoted.

It's very interesting what you take from comments. The gov't shouldn't be forcing testing for just this. I like @brabus comment where this is a holistic approach to improving the health of war fighters. Because this impacts me personally I've read a lot about it. Testing dudes over 30 mandatory smacks of just the stupidity and overreach of this admin. Just like, "no more flu shots" and how'd that work out? We should all have a health "passport" that follows us through service. Would make VA claims a hell of a lot more streamlined. You come in and are tested for a myriad of "shitload of more things" as @brabus puts it. Then it gets updated yearly, biannually, whatever, so you can track that shit. It took 3 different dosing regimens to figure out where my numbers should be. If I had gotten tested in my early 20's, biannually through retirement, we could have figured all of this shit out for a whole lot less ass-pain, and cheaper since I was doing almost quarterly tests the last 2 years to get the docs to do something. Not sure why the snide comment for women. They have hormone issues to, my wife a former bag wearer is in the same boat -- USAF did fuck all. Hormones impact all facets of life, so yes. Women should also have a health passport through service. If you think we should go back to women not serving because "we don't care" that's on you and irrelevant to the point I'm making, or even this topic. Overall, not the worst thing, but stupid in comms and implementation. Clearly tied to his imaginary ideal of what a warrior actually is. Just thought how his interactions with LeMay would have gone.

Ok so i rounded slightly, sue me. The figure provided was 90%. But to answer your question, it's a hobby. I leave the job of full retard to our president. Looks like 2 KIA and 1 MIA unfortunately.

Legit wonder. I shall Claude it as that's about as reliable. Then Google. Then I'll kill a chicken and look at the pattern of bones and blood for a final conclusion.

Frankly the mil should be testing for a shitload more things. The fact I have to pay hundreds out of pocket every year to get full blood panels to track health is dumb. But then again, the mil hasn’t given a shit about my health in over 20 years. It would be awesome if the mil started doing yearly blood panels for every service member - that would be an immensely good thing…and something some people would still lose their minds about for some illogical reason.

This just in, No One asserts an objective exists that never did (100% destruction of BM capability) and he’s aghast that Patriots don’t have a 1.0 pK. Oh no, it’s all over folks! Is going full retard your professional job, or just a hobby?

For us or them? Their 100% neutralized ballistic missile capability just managed to hit some CLUs. So on the one hand at least it wasn't our invaluable radars or tankers this time and we know for a fact they have 2 less missiles now so you could say things are improving. On the other hand it turns out they still have ballistic missiles and that's sort of awkward. There's also vids of multiple patroit interceptors missing at least 2 ballistic missiles.

Just so I understand. Low-T is a brutal condition that affects the ability to maintain physical conditioning. And it affects multiple service members on this board alone. and We shouldn't be testing for low-T. Do I have that right? Are we doing to pretend like we care? Women in the military was never about physical performance.

Big day for the 2A. It still surprises me to see so much progress in support of the 2A

That would be about as pedantic as the rest of this thread.

You know we are celebrating 250 years of not having to root for them right?
