What do you think the "GM" in "ATGM" stand for?

There's no need to use the fancy words, you can just say "bomb" as the tweet does.

as long as he at least tossed it on to the tank I'm comfortable calling it a missile, even if he only tossed it like 6 inches. if he set it down on there I just can't call it a missile.

Definitely looks like he placed it on there and gave it a nice pat to ensure it was attached.

The Wampanoag were the tribe that the colonists had the first Thanksgiving with, according to 2nd grade history. The colonists massacred them over the years as they got their footing, to include in around 1670 killing the son of the Wampanoag chief who was critical to helping the colonists survive their first winters, whose head was placed on a pike. The colonists did Thanksgiving more regularly after massacres became more frequent, but they were still like, not an annual thing at all.

It's hosed up they're doing this because Thanksgiving is actually about good food and family, not having to acknowledge the actual history of this nation, and solidarity with Palestine makes them terrorists by association now let's watch some football before having a road rage incident in a Best Buy parking lot tomorrow

This is probably for another thread so I’ll keep it one off, but you have made me curious: Were the colonists on some kind of mission? Like, what changed over 200ish years between the Wampanoag and the colonists - why did they expand into Wampanoag lands instead of spreading out, which would surely have been easier and less likely to end up dead from your former buddies.

I almost never see any BDA in hamas videos. It's either deliberate because they're not getting the results they want or they don't know what they're doing, and their videos are too slickly produced for incompetence to be a credible factor.

It's cheap and stupid but entertaining. Israeli propaganda is more like a big corporation. They spend a lot of money and literally hire big companies in the advertising business to sell Israel to Americans, but it comes across as evil to people, or there's something "not quite right" about it because of the way it's produced.

When you start a colony in inhabited land, you’re gonna have to do some light genocide as part of the ramp-up process.

They were never “buddies” except when it suited the colonists.

The Wampanoag, not being morons and knowing the land, had probably settled into some rich, fertile and sheltered areas... exactly the ideal spots that the colonists would also have wanted to settle in.

It's not exactly a unique experience in the history of warfare for a small, attacking force that has the initiative (like Hamas arguably did on October 7) to rout a larger force, which seems to be exactly what happened here.
