Another thing about having to polish your boots and beret brass daily and have it become second nature to spot loose threads on your pal's collar from 10 feet away is that it helps you get you really diligent and safe when handling, cleaning and firing a rifle.

The LNG people have a strong position in the Biden admin and developing Gaza’s gas fields would hurt them. US involvement is more directly due to Israeli power in American politics & a MIC that is too embarrassed to admit we’ve transitioned to a Military in Being so has to pretend to be able to fight a regional war we can’t anymore.

The US government today is a rabid animal, it doesn't know why it kills anymore, it just does. It also shows how the U.S. is in such a state of terminal decline politically over the world’s resources that they’re literally — and so publicly now, which is new — supporting explicit genocide on a level not seen since the mid-20th century fascist movements in a desperate bid to maintain the supremacy of the dollar. Chris Hedges’ big thing is that declining / collapsing empires always resort to suicidal military adventures in order to maintain power without realizing how it only accelerates the very thing they’re trying to prevent. And welp, here we are boys!

quote:Not only are our leading corporations wildly corrupt, they're hopelessly incompetent. Our government been incompetent since Katrina, now it's becoming destructive. Listen to this: Boeing had its 17th successive losing quarter, $1.2 billion. https://twitter.com/GodfreeTrh/status/1719191890040586637?s=20 https://herecomeschina.substack.com/p/all-your-west-pacific-belong-china quote:Last year, for example, a US carrier docked at Darwin Port had zero chance of surviving a volley of Chinese DF-26D anti-ship ballistic missiles and a 50-50 chance underway, in open ocean. Its chances are now zero and zero. A new surveillance satellite with onboard AI recognizes and identifies individual warships, tracks them through sleet and storm, and transmits better-than-human information to HQ in real time 24x7. Time on target is infinite, and PLAN screen-shares directly with fire-control, eliminating delays and miscommunication. this guy is always super pro-china and tech. idk how accurate his stuff is

Frosted Flake posted:All fair points. You have to remember than infantry of the line started as numbered regiments. It was through that mathematical equation that they earned their names and fame, often getting mulched in the process, like 28th Foot. This reminds me how the people honoured in Italian churches are artists, inventors and clergy, whereas British churches are wall to wall soldiers and regiments and also some clergy. My point is that all this poo poo is a product of empire, of a thoroughly militarized society, a mechanism for getting the lower classes to lay down their lives for their oppressors. gently caress these British institutions, gently caress their traditions and gently caress what they stand for.

i think these things are related in kind of an overarching and sometimes touching way lol WA ferries reach low point as one more boat breaks down quote:Washington’s ferry system hit a low point over the weekend as yet another boat had to be taken out of service, leaving the fleet with just 14 working ships out of 21 owned by the state. e: Vigor has a ton of military contracts, eg https://vigor.net/projects/msvl (more at https://vigor.net/services and https://vigor.net/projects) quote:The U.S. Army awarded Vigor the contract to build its new generation landing craft in the fall of 2017. The design for the MSV(L) was developed in partnership with BMT following a detailed study of the Army's unique needs and the available design options fulfill those needs. It dramatically improves the current LCM-8 and provides the optimal combination of performance, operational flexibility and life-cycle cost while maintaining the reliability and versatility of the Army’s current craft. The contract calls for one prototype vessel, four vessels under low rate production, and up to thirty two additional vessels over ten years for use by Army Mariners in even the most difficult environments. mawarannahr has issued a correction as of 12:08 on Oct 31, 2023 |

crepeface posted:it does kinda look like the IMEC that biden announced at the g20 It's not like the US didn't try to sabotage the Chinese BRI projects through Pakistani Balochi separatists. It's just that the historical bad blood the US has planted in the ME is 1000x times worse than any large country, you can just use a single match to ignite it. To accuse China behind it is laughable, the cost of lighting a match in Gaza is so small there are at least 10 external actors who can afford it. And if China knew about the Hamas war, they wouldn't reached a tech sanction deal with US before the war, they would have delayed it and asked for better prize.

Raskolnikov38 posted:…. this is the wooden mock-up right If you think about the landing craft in WW2, there's nothing wrong with using wooden construction. It's just that rather than being inexpensive and mass produced, we would still end up with bespoke wooden craft produced in tiny numbers, at astronomical cost, that somehow rusted in water.

if you assume that the army needs to land a fixed number of tanks to defeat soviet defenses and build a beachhead, it makes obvious sense that each landing craft should carry one tank if they carried two tanks each, the army would only need half as many landing craft. jerked off by the invisible hand
