As far as the battle goes it was a tragedy it had to occur at all. Not often mentioned, but Monty and Patton agreed on a key issue (surprise!) and that was the Ruhr was the center of gravity for the German war machine. Patton wanted to swing NE and come from behind (from the east) and cut the...

I agree in general. Paper maps...err..with acetate, proper radio procedures. anti-jamming techniques, use of wire (btw Patton kicked off an attack using all wire comms) all bring back memories of the 70s, 80s and through the Gulf War excepting GPS and Loran. However, my experience in an FSU in...

True Lies Harrier take off:

Wait a minute. I thought Billy Jeff solved this problem about three decades ago.

Food for thought: She might look hot but she could be really be burning since for young women in the 20s and 30s the STD rate is skyrocketing. Be careful out there folks.

Like everything else likely certain staff members are enacting passive non-compliance measures.

First, on the money scam side of it, note that Bill Gates has bailed on the entire climate change scam. Methinks he knows the jig is up and wants to be on the winning side. He's scum and, personally, I think he's quite a dullard. Second, and I'll try to be brief, but the earth does operate in...

Thank the disgruntled fed workers in NOVA. Payback for for DOGE, firings, shutdown, et al.

I agree the current crop of high level leadership is a soup sandwich - how many - I don't know. I saw this a long time ago in Iraq. However, Gen. (ret) Jack Keane has stated that a significant number of those in the room quietly agreed with the SoW on what he said. One only has to look at the...

Same here more or less. The time change thing is a throw back to when a significant number of Americans were rural farmers. Those days are long gone and tractors and combines have headlights now. Across the road a coastal hay farmer works all night if the time is right for cutting and rolling...

It's like the Far Side around here: the doorbell rings and it would be cows, sheep, pigs, etc.

According to a Marine buddy of mine it was a case of crappy rules of engagement dictated by a State Department hack.

I echo one of the comments at the end of the article. Courage, innovation and tenacity of this unit is outstanding, but going into this deployment without the training and equipment to counter this threat is borderline criminal especially since we have been having drone wars with Iran since the...

Excellent.

On a serious note, in the Gulf War era and after, some Arab SF units used armored Hilux as their main vehicle. Heck, if offered here I'd get one armored or not.

The 90s saw pop music going into the tank. This is about the time CW started filling the void and eventually took the pop music mantle. This is also the time the Nashville CW music establishment started moving to the left with the acts following suit. Hope you get well Alan.

A couple of thoughts: - We can't completely comprehend the lighter armor of French tanks unless we understand their employment of nukes. The schism between NATO and France had to do with command a control of nuclear weapons, not an overarching desire to separate from the alliance. (We...

I'd rather go anvil shooting.

IIRC, the Hemi has been around since the 1956 Chrysler Imperial.
