Liberal mothers fucked over their daughters in the name of insanity

I'm beyond giving a fuck. Women opened up this can of worms with that bathroom issue. They blew the can up when they defended all this. I totally agree with TRIPPLE BRAVO. They have no one to blame but themselves.

Houthis are back at it. They're launching anti-ship ballistic missiles at civilian shipping...USS Mason responding to the distress calls....

The US Navy is busy as hell. They're gonna have to start a destroyer rotation in this part of the world soon. We want the fight in the Pacific but the world will not let us have what we want. We're gonna need to shed some alliances/commitments and decide what we can/can't do and perhaps more importantly what we can afford to do!

Geez. Terrible news. IDF accidently killed 3 hostages

 

This is indeed terrible news. I thought they were all dead. To think that they could have actually rescued 3 of them but instead accidently killed them is a serious kick in the pants. It brings up another point. I thought Israeli intel agencies were top notch. Either they have a communication issue with units conducting this assault or despite them gleaming more and more info they're still blind to what's going on inside the Hamas terrorist organization. I wonder though. They killed comms for Hamas so they can't even do signal interception to get a view of what they're doing, how they're doing it and what they plan on doing next. Should they have left it on? Hamas would be better organized but if they thought that they could rescue hostages it would have given them better visibility. At the end of the day I just don't know. This is so far outside my lane that I'll just have to sit back and watch the experts do what they do.

Goodbye, Scout Snipers ... For Now

 Note.  The last Scout Sniper course for the USMC has been run.  A common theme seems to be that they'll be back (I'm positive...the idea of disbanding them was stupid in the extreme) but another common theme seems to be that they got too big for their britches.

I find that weird.  Scout Snipers have ALWAYS had to walk a jagged line between being Special Ops and Conventional.  From the outside looking in they do all kinds of stuff with SOCOM only for Regiment or Division trying to yank them back for...nonsense (remember I'm on the outside looking in, I could easily be wrong).

The real problem for this community is that jagged line.  When they come back and they will, I hope that the USMC situates them to win rather than to lose.  They need to be told where they fit in within the bigger scheme of things and that needs to be hammered into every commander that wants to use them as an additional rifle platoon.  Don't waste this resource.  Don't abandon the resource.  PROPERLY UTILIZE THEIR SKILLSET!

Rant over.  Great article.  Read it all.

Scout Snipers have a mantra.

I learned that mantra years ago when I was assigned to lead a platoon of these Marines. My chief scout in the platoon, a title held by the most experienced Scout Sniper, was Damon.

When we met in 2012 on Camp Lejeune, Damon was in his late twenties. His guys were at-home in the woods and with a load on their backs; they rarely complained about being dirty, tired or uncomfortable. I learned quickly that Scout Snipers were the best in the battalion, regular infantrymen who had started out carrying an assault rifle or lobbing mortars but aspired to something sleeker, freer and more elite. Before graduating the arduous Scout Sniper Basic Course to earn his new, coveted title, Damon himself had carried a machine gun on a deployment to Anbar province. I remember the front of his uniform was covered in ribbons and medals earned on combat tours. On his back were the words “Scout Sniper.” They were branded into his skin.

Similar to most competitive people, Damon didn’t like following rules, including the rule that required him to buckle the chinstrap on his Kevlar helmet. Like a kid who refuses to put on a helmet before riding his bicycle, I couldn’t get him to listen. Whenever we went to the field for training, I’d see that nylon strap dangling off his sideburns. “I know, sir,” Damon would say. Until the next time it happened, and the time after that. If only he hadn’t been so good-natured (and good at his job), I might have been more insistent that he fall in line.

But I wasn’t.

Recently, the Marine Corps decided its infantry battalions no longer need Scout Snipers. The final class graduates today from the Scout Sniper Basic Course. Soon, Scout Sniper platoons will disband and transform into so-called “scout platoons.” They will observe the enemy, but not shoot him. Some argue the loss of formally-trained precision marksmen will make infantry battalions less lethal. Others, including military brass, say the cuts will help build a lighter, more “commando-style” infantry.

Either way, they had this coming.

Here 

A little more from me.

This opinion piece and others seems like a quiet admission that this was a batshit stupid idea.

It's also an acknowledgement that Scout Snipers will be back.

Long story short?  Berger overshot with his "back to the sea" idiocy and while trying to justify this move its being admitted that it was a terrible idea.  Even his supporters are walking a jagged line.

John Kirby outlines the 3 conditions for Hamas to fulfill to end the war today

Reasonable. Sensible. Easily doable. No way in hell will Hamas do it. Too much money to be made by being evil, subhuman killers/rapist/torturers rather than save THEIR citizens from the brutality of war. All that and still some people on this blog still support these animals. I don't get it.

Russian soldier conducts successful sentry elimination in fighting....

What a horrific way to go. Outside taking a piss and suddenly you're grabbed around the neck and see a knife flash before its buried in your chest and throat. I don't get it. We've seen enough of this by both sides that posting security should be automatic now. I also note that the tweet says the second attacker throws a grenade so they weren't going for silence. I wonder if this was a planned attack or if a couple of grunts just got a wild hair and said watch this.

Ukrainian commander says that the French Caesar is too vulnerable

Read the entire thread but it makes sense. Truck mounted artillery is huge. Hard to hide. Displaces well but is easily located on the modern battlefield. In the past they'd be hunted with close air support attack planes and attack helicopters. Now? Now they're hunted by drones and persistent survelliance is the norm. Truck mounted artillery is an evolutionary dead end. Too heavy for light forces, too light for heavy. Medium weight units are fulfilling a narrow gap in the spectrum and are probably only tailorable to out of area operations against advanced and lower insurgency type forces (of course they should perform well against peer units of the same classification).

Another Oct 7 Hostage found dead....

 

Being actual and factual? Her death was probably a blessing she prayed for. I shudder at the thought of what those animals did to her while she was alive. She's got to be going to heaven cause her final days were probably a living hell.

Night Stalkers are operating in Dallas...

One thing has me puzzled. We're always seeing this type of thing in various US cities. Not so much in foreign cities. We're always being told that this is just exercises. But why? SOCOM can get their training anywhere and the raised eye of the public with them doing this type of thing can't be good for public relations.  Its just a disturbance for the people of whatever city they're in and fuels conspiracy theories. Long story short? It just don't seem worth it. 

BUT! What if these aren't just exercises but real world operations that they're conducting against a threat that can't be publicized? 

Is SOCOM hunting bad guys right here in the USA? 

Are their threats right here that SOCOM is dealing with that's beyond the capability of US Marshal's Special Operations Group and the FBI's Hostage Rescue Teams?

Wow. The USMC just set up an ACV training course to stop all the accidents and after its been declared safe to go back into the water this shit happens...

 Thanks to Carlton for the news and the link!


Geez.  This is crazy.  They built the vehicle tall (imagine your Ford F-150 on a 6in lift) so it would be mine resistant but apparently the Corps is running short of country boys that know how to drive lifted vehicles.  Even worse is the fact that they just set up a transition school and a new course syllabus that was supposed to prevent accidents like this AND they just declared that it could go back into the water.

As much as I try and like the ACV, its becoming more than clear that a dramatically NEW and MODERNIZED AAV was/is the answer.  Wheels on a vehicle this big that goes across the terrain that the Marine Corps operates in just is a recipe for disaster.

Want an even bigger kick in the ass?

The 30mm version of this thing will be EVEN MORE top heavy.  It's already lacking freeboard in the water and now its role of being able to operate successfully on land is in question?

Just wow.

Via Fox News.

A United States Marine assigned to Camp Pendleton in California was killed during a training exercise Tuesday, military officials confirmed.

A tactical vehicle rollover occurred around 6 p.m. as the vehicle, described as an amphibious combat vehicle, was making a ground movement during training, the U.S. Marine Corps said in a press release. 

Fourteen other Marines were in the vehicle when it rolled over, the military said. They were all taken to local hospitals and Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton for evaluation and treatment, the Marine Corps said.

Situation in North worse than in Gaza....

I guess they're wanting to have a prolonged war before the citizens remember the intel failures that led to Oct 7. I support the IDF troops on the ground but the IDF Chief and Netanyahou need to pay for their negligence.

Russia is jamming US precision weapons in Ukraine

Predictable. I'm sure they've been able to buy/capture several fully intact models so this was or should have been an expected risk. They'll never tell us till its obvious but I'd bet that you'll see military grade Western man portable anti-tank/air missiles show up in attacks in Europe real soon.
