Looks like a ceasefire deal was reached...we'll see how long it lasts looking through the X comments from both sides.

Ramping up against the Houthis in Yemem
GKinnear replied to ClearedHot's topic in General Discussion
Thanks for the reply...some we can agree on, some I see the logic of your decision-making, but I disagree with the assumption it's based on. @TreeA10 and @Lord Ratner speak to the assumption part...HAMAS has had semi-independence for 20 years and never pursued a peaceful co-existence with Israel, and the world basically encouraged them not to. See multiple examples of the UN and AP journalists dual-hatted as HAMAS operatives. Also, HAMAS specifically targeted soft civilian targets. The killing would have been bad enough, but the torture, mutilation, kidnapping, and raping (regardless of age) puts it on another level. I pray for peace in the middle east, but it takes both sides to be honest participants, and HAMAS has never proven themselves to be anything other than what the world saw on Oct 7th. So your plan to get the Houthis to stop is dependent on Israel, which is dependent on HAMAS...like I said, makes sense from your POV, we just disagree about the nature of HAMAS. I celebrate your right to free speech under the 1st Amendment, but your AIPAC comment made me pause. Jews can be criticised, just as blacks, Chinese, Mexicans, Polish, etc, can; however, there are many anti-semetic conspiracy theories about global Jewish cabals running the world that seem to have echoes in your statement. I may have some bias since we've been on opposite ends of this conversation. To end on a positive note, I agree with you and @Day Man on the Gaza Riveria plan. US Government has no standing to get directly involved in post-war plans in any way, and I don't think there's a public outcry to justify a change. -
Last year was PCS orders, this year its retirement orders...I don't think the government has had a normal budget cycle since the sequestration debacle in 2011/2012. Yet the shareholders (US voting citizens) keep endorsing the board with only minor changes...plus les choses changent, plus elles restent les mêmes Edit: Just saw on Reddit that training TDYs have also been hit...I'm so far removed from the line, I've got zero SA on it. Anyone else seeing that as well?

The sooner you realize that both parties support corporatism above all else, the sooner you’ll be enlightened.

Not to mention the dogs have been killing your family members for *decades* It's such a delusional way of looking at the world. I don't get it. -
I wonder if you have a bad unit. This is mine at 10 yards using just the stock sights. I'm not going to win any competitions, but the gun is more accurate than I am. I've also been using a red dot as a crutch for so long my iron-sights skills have definitely atrophied. 🫣

If your neighbor had a pack of vicious dogs that attacked and butchered your child, would you be satisfied that killing a couple of the dogs would prevent your other children from being attacked from the remaining pack of dogs or would want to completely eliminate the threat?

It’s a fascinating shift in American politics to see what is essentially “old school” 1990s Democrat policies - union supportive protectionist tariffs, tax hikes on the wealthy - be simultaneously despised by those who call themselves democrats and embraced by those who call themselves conservative. Interesting times.

I'll mirror these comments. I put a Vortex CCW on mine. The dot is wider than the pistol. Mine is not accurate. At all. It'll suffice at close range, but a shooter it is not. Might be the dot mount I guess. I haven't trouble shot it yet. It flings the empty cases a really long way. Like comically far.

The lawsuits don't do shit. Folks get a bit of money sometimes but the cops aren't paying it so it doesn't affect them in the slightest.

I would exert political pressure on that ally (Israel) to knock it off in Gaza. They have more than retaliated for Oct 7 and gone orders of magnitude past that. The stated position of the houthis is that they are attacking Israeli ships "in support of their muslim brethren in gaza." Which I actually believe because so far the only time the houthis have stopped shooting was during the short lived Israeli-Palestinian cease-fire. I would immediately stop any talks of a Gaza riviera developed by us and Israel. The gaza riviera is a bad idea of biblical proportions that will have Israel cemented as a permanent pariah state, with us as the enablers. Of course all of this assumes im king for a day and not completely beholden to AIPAC like the current admin and most of the left are. edit: The other biggest problem with the gaza riviera plan is that it's the stumbling block preventing any meaningful negotiations from happening to get back the remaining hostages. Think about it from the perspective of hamas. Once you give up the hostages you've given up your last card, then israel is free to completely bulldoze the place. So what incentive do you have to negotiate a cease fire and return hostages if the only thing looming on the horizon afterward is complete displacement?
