aren't things like tomahawks terrible for cratering runways in any meaningful way? Especially considering most soviet era planes are pretty OK with non-pristine fields? Obviously not craters and poo poo, but those can be fixed easily enough.

Basically they made the Durandal bomb to be more effective at it? IDK just remembering something I read in the back of a huge Falcon 3.0 manual or something.

Doesn't this show the Trump has a conscience? Him merely recognizing the horrible effects of nerve agents on Syrian civilians and feeling compelled to do something about it

According to red storm rising the tomahawk is very effective at shutting down aviation assets for periods of time.

It's okay, it'll mostly be remote controlled this time. So rather than having a bunch of ex-military people I'm friends with, with blown off limbs, a few nervous breakdowns, and alcoholism, it'll just be the nervous breakdowns and alcoholism this time.

man at this point I'd be nervous, they'll probably just deny it and move your record to the top of the pile for recall. You were a 13F or something right? Don't look directly at the blast, in lieu of digging a fortified underground fighting position underneath an Abrams is probably about as safe as you can be when the nukes hit. Good luck, god bless

The difference is you aren't drowning from lake water. You are drowning in your own body fluids which means you have other organs failing and lots of bad poo poo happening. Thats probably the painful part. That and knowing you are drowning... Which is loving terrifying.

from a few pages ago, but I thought you all might be interested in how nerve agents kill people:

muscles contract and relax using a particular protein that gives nerves in your muscles the signal to contract and an enzyme that "dissolves" that protein and allows the muscle to relax. nerve agents block that enzyme from working (I can't remember if it stops you from making it or makes it so it doesn't break down the protein) so all of your muscles stay contracted until they eventually fail. once your diaphragm stops working you can no longer breathe and your thoracic cavity fills with liquid and you die. this is of course after other various bodily functions controlled by muscles begin to fail, and after the violent spasms stop. Happily, the part in the Rock about your skin melting off doesn't happen and was just added for the movie (though I think that was VX). that makes it worse, because if it WERE corrosive like that stuff, it wouldn't hang around on clothes for as long as it does and cause emergency personnel to become poisoned

I have a letter awarding me a functional area as long as I complete the career course so maybe I can fall back on that rather than eating artillery while attempting to breach a minefield.

I'm on a permanent profile that makes me so non-deployable I couldn't even go to Guam, which is still technically the US. I guess I'll find out how that goes for me when this whole poo poo storm reaches its climax.

Edit: ^ I've been saying for a while now that being straight, white, male and a veteran in America is pretty much the closest you can get to having superpowers. Anything less than those four? Just as hosed as you would be otherwise.
