Nobody believes this except conspiracy nuts.

The fact Al-Qaeda tried to claim it was a shoe bomb then dropped the claim should tip you off.

Yes, planes crash all the time so it was just a huge coincidence that another plane exploded over NYC a month after 9/11. And the claiming of responsibility would also be impossible to be faked. They just didn't have claim-faking technology in 2001. They didn't really perfect that until the "YouTube video caused Benghazi" thing over a decade later.

What band was it where one of their album covers was a photograph one of the band members had taken of another former band member after blowing his head off with a shotgun (and no, it wasn't Nirvana)?

quote:

Millennium Challenge 2002 (MC02) was a major war game exercise conducted by the United States armed forces in mid-2002. The exercise, which ran from July 24 to August 15 and cost $250 million,

quote:

The simulated combatants were the United States, referred to as "Blue", and an unknown adversary in the Middle East, "Red", with many lines of evidence pointing at Iran being the Red side.

It was also to show how the Iraq invasion would go.

quote:

Red received an ultimatum from Blue, essentially a surrender document, demanding a response within 24 hours. Thus warned of Blue's approach, Red used a fleet of small boats to determine the position of Blue's fleet by the second day of the exercise. In a preemptive strike, Red launched a massive salvo of cruise missiles that overwhelmed the Blue forces' electronic sensors and destroyed sixteen warships. This included one aircraft carrier, ten cruisers and five of six amphibious ships. An equivalent success in a real conflict would have resulted in the deaths of over 20,000 service personnel. Soon after the cruise missile offensive, another significant portion of Blue's navy was "sunk" by an armada of small Red boats, which carried out both conventional and suicide attacks that capitalized on Blue's inability to detect them as well as expected.[1]

At this point, the exercise was suspended, Blue's ships were "re-floated", and the rules of engagement were changed

Basically Iran/Iraq caused a poo poo load of deaths, outwitting the US. And the US side player cried fowl and changed the rules.

quote:

After the war game was restarted, its participants were forced to follow a script drafted to ensure a Blue Force victory. Among other rules imposed by this script, Red Force was ordered to turn on their anti-aircraft radar in order for them to be destroyed, and was not allowed to shoot down any of the aircraft bringing Blue Force troops ashore. Van Riper also claimed that exercise officials denied him the opportunity to use his own tactics and ideas against Blue Force, and that they also ordered Red Force not to use certain weapons systems against Blue Force and even ordered the location of Red Force units to be revealed.

No wonder the US hosed up in Iraq if they did poo poo like this.

Thanks for awakening that dormant memory.

Also there was one of those "Hey Flash is Kinda New" websites where you could enter the Caveman's apartment, hear his metrosexual banter with his cave man room mate and all I really remember is that you could click on a bowl of shrimp on a table that sparkled.

At the same time, Van Riper's Red team was using motorcycle messengers that apparently operated at the speed of light.

Also, anti-aircraft guns are next to useless these days unless you're fighting helicopters, close air support, and other low-flying aircraft. You need radar for them to be AAA to be remotely effective against them, but US air forces since Kosovo have wisely stayed above their range unless it's close air support, and, even then, it's mostly MANPADs they're worried about. And the SAMs that can reach at the altitude practically require radars, and the U.S. handily knows this. That's why Wild Weasel aircraft and anti-radiation missiles exist.

Also, that complaint about Red team being detected is moot largely because satellite and aerial surveillance can detect any major troop concentrations and armor columns. The only way to prevent their detection is either to hide them in bunkers or among the civilian population, which you can get away with infantry but would be next to impossible with heavy weapons like artillery, armor, and aircraft.

If anything, the invasion of Iraq proved that Millennium Challenge with restrictions correct. Coalition forces lost 172 personnel in the invasion phase, it's the occupation that they lost scores at, but the Challenge didn't cover that.

I like how after control basically said "red team stop cheating" they ended up scripting the whole thing, then the red team general threw a hissy fit and went to the media.
