"Baddie Brown people? " Just stop man...a completely useless comment. Question the strategy all you want...I think we all want to see something solid so we don;t get sucked into another rabbit hole but your comment was classless.

Was lucky enough to fly these heroes home from the WW2 museum in New Orleans today. Special flight and will not forget their stories. They were so humble that they thanked us for volunteering for the flight when we were all there to thank them. Greatest Generation is an understatement.

If the Houthi’s kept their stupidity between them and the Saudis… we’d largely stay out of it. I don’t know why people can’t seem to understand that we have a centuries old tradition in “____ with my ships and find out!” It’s not like this is the first time we’ve went into CENTCOM to protect the sea lanes.

These were fun. Is 30 years long enough to be history Better video of how it worked

The plan: Keeping the shit to shoe level - Work with Israel and partners quietly to disrupt and eliminate threats - Deter and reduce Iranian influence - Destroy the Houthi movement attempting to restrict access to international water ways to anyone but Chinese,Iranian ships - Hold at risk Iran while attempting to negotiate a decent nuclear deal - Keep an eye on Turkey - Intervene minimally in Syria to prevent reversion to another version of the IS All if those missions are to keep the Chinese out. It’s not perfect but it’s better than ceding it to them as a sphere of influence Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You would be better off focusing on rushing as many units as you can and getting FaceTime. Your resume is solid. Now it’s more about who you are as a person and are you gonna be a good fit?

Nice!

Saigon was falling. President Ford was playing golf. By March 1975, the situation in Vietnam, and South Vietnam specifically, was dire. Gen. Nguyen Van Thieu, the last in a long line of military dictators propped up by the United States was, according to historian Edward Rasen, “making decisions based on his daily astrological chart, while Graham Martin, U.S. ambassador to Vietnam, had terminated daily CIA briefings, threatened to ‘cut the balls off’ CIA Saigon station chief Tom Polgar, and was becoming increasingly detached from the reality on the ground.” Amid the rapidly accumulating military losses in South Vietnam, President Gerald Ford was in Palm Springs, California, on an eight-day Easter holiday. Staying with his golfing buddy, Fred C. Wilson, founder of the Trans World Insurance Company, Ford played several rounds of golf, including one with Bob Hope, Leon Parma and William G. Salatich, president of the Gillette Company. On March 31, 1975, Ford dodged reporters by breaking out into an all-out sprint when asked by a reporter what he was doing about the “military losses of the South Vietnam Government,” according to a report by the New York Times. Receiving a report on April 5 from Gen. Fred Weyand, Army chief of staff and former commander of the Military Assistance Command Vietnam (MACV), who had just departed Saigon after assessing the situation, the president was told amid the luxe background of Palm Springs that “the current military situation is critical and the probability of the survival of South Vietnam as a truncated nation is marginal at best.” Just 19 days later, U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissenger, in an urgent cable to Graham Martin, U.S. ambassador to South Vietnam, wrote that his “ass isn’t covered. I can assure you I will be hanging several yards higher than you when this is all over”... Full article at title link

With that kind of resume, leave the dang PCSM alone. 88 isn't bad.

Biden (and coalition) bombing the houthis for the fifth time in January of this year https://apnews.com/article/biden-houthis-yemen-shipping-attacks-fc5c1ed40f4e370bed81670bfdda0899# Obama - my mistake.. hard to keep track of which group of baddie brown people are the latest hotness. So I ask again, how is it going to be different this time and why is the president pursuing a strategy he actively mocked as stupid and futile during the campaign.
