BaconAndBullets posted:https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2019/10/16/politics/us-airstrike-storage-site-syria/index.html Apologies if this is a dumb question, but: I assume that "we left in such a hurry that we couldn't bring our stuff out and had to blow it up instead" is probably unusual when you're not retreating, but there's probably no argument to be made that perhaps having to immediately comply with Trump's every whim is wasteful, because compared to the total amount of annual wastage by the armed forces this is nothing? I mean I would never say "oh poo poo I'm running late for my flight home, I'll just leave all my clothes in the hotel room and buy new ones when I get home" but I've heard stories about it not being a big deal when weapons go missing during exercises so I guess I'm just tight with my money

hobbesmaster posted:Also how do you even move 50 nukes in such a situation? Do you pile them all in one C-17? A B-61 is 1200 lbs. 91-115 These safety rules apply to C-17A Prime Nuclear Airlift operations. The following weapons are authorized to be transported aboard the C17A: 5.4.1. B61-3,-4,-7,-11. 5.4.2. W78. (See limitation in paragraph 5.5). 5.4.3. W80-1. 5.4.4. B83-0, -1. 5.4.5. W87 (See limitation in paragraph 5.6).

Buttcoin purse posted:Apologies if this is a dumb question, but: The losing weapons thing is VERY wrong. There are two things that cause a huge scene and are painful for anyone involved, a missing weapon and missing classified material. However in the grand scheme of things, an abandoned FOB is a drop in the bucket of money wasted in Syria.

The kiowas got brought in because the people from the blackhawk that dropped it couldnt find it so they thought kiowas have night vision they can find a black m9 in the dark right? And then they collided...  Something like that it was tragic just to read.

F-15E, F-16, F/A-18, B-1, B-2, B-52, and a slew of NATO jets can carry B61s. Eventually the F-35 will be able to as well. Or, of course, you could load them up in the back of a cargo plane.

"Boris Johnson says he has secured 'great new deal' with EU" https://www.theguardian.com/politic...l-politics-live Better than a no deal Brexit, but I'm going to guess that this is still probably a poo poo sandwich for the UK. Edit: Clearly BJ stole/sold Elijah Cummings' soul to fuel this demonic contract. Ragaman fucked around with this message at 10:52 on Oct 17, 2019 |

God loving drat it. I got the day off to mourn Bush  and Regan  . But we sure won't get one for Elijah Cummings. He was a stand up guy who went after real corruption and abuse and supported federal workers who were doing the right thing.Instead we're going to see gleeful celebration by a bunch of criminals who think this makes it easier to get away with their crimes. poo poo.
