This isn't getting much airtime and I didn't even know a case was being developed, I just assumed it was another terrible accident.
This is stunning.
Anyone have any better info on exactly what the fuck is going on????
Maybe not now but certainly in the very near future, an Airborne unit will have MUCH MORE ground power than the US Marines.#ModernizationMonday

The 82nd Airborne started the initial operational test and evaluation of the M10 Booker today! The testing will encompass a wide-range of events, such as new equipment training, gunnery, collective training sessions for Soldiers, and force-on-force exercises. pic.twitter.com/6H0PkoChqE
I will never understand why we aren't seeing sustained protests and demands for police activity in these communities. These are warzone numbers. No way in hell would I allow me or ANYONE I care about much less love to exist in those type conditions.

The Philippines has turned down offers from the United States to assist operations in the South China Sea, after a flare-up with China over missions to resupply Filipino troops on a contested shoal, its military chief said.
Tensions in the disputed waterway have boiled over into violence in the past year, with a Filipino sailor losing a finger in the latest June 17 clash that Manila described as “intentional-high speed ramming” by the Chinese coast guard.
The US, a treaty ally, has offered support but Manila prefers to handle operations on its own, Armed Forces Chief General Romeo Brawner told Reuters late Thursday.
“Yes, of course, they have been offering help and they asked us how they could help us in any way,” he said.
“We try to exhaust all possible options that we have before we ask for help.”
This should be concerning to the Pentagon. From a military perspective there is nothing more dangerous than an ally that is truly independent in thought and actions.
Now I ask you this.
Is it probable that the Philippines will allow their territory to be used to fire missiles at Chinese ships?
Will they even allow US forces to remain in the area to use ground based radar to monitor the sea?
I don't think they will. Again, which nation is gonna get in the middle of Godzilla fighting King Kong?
None with sense.
We need to rethink our concepts.
If we fight in the Pacific its gonna be a Navy & Air Force fight. The budget probably should reflect that. For better or worse if that's our priority then the US Army and US Marine Corps should probably face at least a budget freeze, if not decrease.
Rough times ahead if we're serious about fighting China for our ground forces.
(NSFW) Viet's Special Criminal Police chase bandits on motorcycles in Ho Chi Minh City, VietnamYou ever chase a motorcycle? If the guy is good you're not gonna catch him and even to keep up you're gonna endanger the public. It just ain't happening. Don't see much of it in rural communities but in big cities? Yeah its a problem. With all the "new arrivals" and with many of them having a crime background the big city pd's are gonna have to setup moped/motorcycle units to combat the problem. It just makes sense. Imagine a traffic jam and the bad guys are splitting lanes and zooming away. Fight fire with fire. Give it a year and this will be the next big thing in law enforcement.
