I'm just waiting for them to say at some point, I'm guessing right after the election, that a few people lost limbs.

I'm also guessing that literally everyone on that base has had 0 contact with the outside world because they've done a good job keeping the AAR from that under wraps and I have a sneaking suspicion that they classified it at some ludicrously high level of clearance.

I don’t know how to feel.

I suspect someone in the administration (either Pentagon, WH, or both) has some foresight to keep things with Iran below a boil.

And yet they’re covering up obvious casualties/injuries/what may actually have happened and we won’t hear poo poo about it for who knows how long.

Then again, maybe that’s military.txt. I’m just a civvie after all.

IIRC, the East Germans only had a handful of medals made for agents abroad. There'd be an award ceremony, but they wouldn't get to keep the medal afterwards.

I thought what they did was they gave you an awards ceremony, didn't let you keep the award, but then blackmailed you with photos from the ceremony if you changed your mind later.

They gave the Order of the Red Banner to Melita Norwood while she was living in Britain. For ideological spies it probably generated more good will than cash payments and is way less likely to raise red flags than a sudden bank deposit.

Mideast peace plan is out. If you take the propaganda seriously and don't just assume they're puking it up for a media distraction, it took them three years to come up with "Two states, four year hold on new settlements, everything in place is totes legal" and then some poo poo about "east Jerusalem" that I still haven't figured out.

The East Jerusalem thing seems to be:

- gently caress you undivided Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, forever and ever, period
- Current border walls in Jerusalem stay up, which leaves the outer suburbs of Kafr 'Aqab and Shu'afat under Palestinian control
- But Jerusalem must be 'undivided', so those Palestinian suburbs can't call themselves 'East Jerusalem' or whatever, come up with some other name like 'Al Quds' or some poo poo
- Palestine gets to be a junior member of the Jerusalem/Not-Jerusalem Tourism Board, with Israel getting to decide where to invest tourist revenue and the Palestinians negotiating for tour guide licenses in the Old City

But hey, if the Palestinians agree to all this they get to operate a resort (on Israeli land) on the Dead Sea! Art of the Deal!

quote:

Section Thirteen
DEAD SEA RESORT AREA
The State of Israel will allow the State of Palestine to develop a resort area in the North of the Dead Sea without prejudice to the State of Israel’s sovereignty at such location, including, without limitation, Israel’s sovereignty to the shoreline. The presence of the Palestinian resort area along the coast of the Dead Sea will not alter the distribution arrangements between the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the State of Israel for natural resources in the Dead Sea. The State of Israel and the State of Palestine will establish a road that will allow the Palestinians to travel from the State of Palestine to this resort area, subject to Israeli security considerations.

There's even stupid little poison pills like forbidding any involvement in the negotiations (let alone Palestinian government) of members of Hamas or PIJ, and the immediate cessation of Palestinian payments to family members of prisoners and martyrs. Just complete garbage front to back, even comparing it to a Native American Reservation is giving it too much credit.

It's relatively easy for 50 people to get an mTBI (mild traumatic brain injury aka "concussion") from an overpressure event. Missiles are quite a bit heavier payload than mortars or rocket strikes so the bunkers might not have been designed to handle them. Now if people were getting moderates from a blast, then you're looking at a near direct hit on a bunker.

They’ve also had some great fakes, like the big ol’ bomb in the server room.
