No love for nuclear ballistic missile submarine Terrible  ? Also, I love the fact that Royal Navy and MN both have SSBNs named Vigilant in active service.

Sperglord Actual posted:More like WD40spite. Don't mock the Warspite. She was the toughest battleship ever built. Survived having her steering gear going haywire at Jutland and being a target for most of the German fleet, then torpedoes, mines, and a goddamned cruise missile. Put her in a task force with Enterprise and you have God's Own Cheat Mode.

My generic advice for satisfying your own curiosity via proper channels is to pull up the underlying classification manuals (hopefully) referred to on the classification block on the front cover of whatever document you're thinking of. See what that says about releasability, and your friendly neighborhood security officer can probably answer any followup questions.

This has been my experience as well and it actually created quite a bit of work of stuff in one case so to find out that the DoD 5000 say it shouldnt be marked that way is frustrating...its plain as day though and doesnt meet either of the exceptions.

What was the movie that started with Russia and America fighting in the Middle East that ended up in a nuclear holocaust and it caused Reagan to figure out that nukes were really bad? Can we play that on Fox News this weekend please?

That Works posted:http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/u-s-launches-missiles-syrian-base-after-chemical-weapons-attack-n743636 I thought the Russians were more concentrated near Tartus and Aleppo, hence the strike not occurring at the main battlefield. But, it's still insanely risky for the little good that will come of it. I half wonder if the Russians will give Syrians targeting data for shore-based anti-ship batteries. IIRC, Syria has some Bastion cruise missiles.

They'll leave a few busted MiG-21s on the ground and pull a Port Stanley on the airbase to make it look like we absolutely loving decimated it so Spicer and Trump can hold up a degraded satellite shot making it look like Satan himself took a giant poo poo all over the airbase, and it'll be operational again within 48 hours.

If Russia's flying from that base wouldn't that mean there's a fair chance we blew up a couple of fulcrums and what-not?

We launched more Tomahawks against AQ(and/or Islamic Big Pharma) in Afghanistan and Sudan in 1998. Yes, this moron is criminally incompetent and corrupt, but until there's more happening this isn't WW3. edit: BIG HEADLINE posted:They'll leave a few busted MiG-21s on the ground and pull a Port Stanley on the airbase to make it look like we absolutely loving decimated it so Spicer and Trump can hold up a degraded satellite shot making it look like Satan himself took a giant poo poo all over the airbase, and it'll be operational again within 48 hours.

Until tomahawks are hitting the units that launched the sarin-attacks, it's all just messaging and posture. Messages delivered with bombs and twitter. What a time to be alive.

McMaster is being quoted as saying that the strike doesn't actually diminish Assad's chemical capability. Along with the reports that Russian forces were warned, it's hard to see this as being anything more than performative.

I'm imagining the Syrian Chemical Weapons Team (or whatever) seeing every single Russian leaving the airbase all of a sudden and then deciding they should stay to get bombed by Americans. Unfortunate for Melania that she's with Trump tonight since he might actually have an erection from this.
