The part where the first armored truck blows up: :stare:

Then the crew bails, runs for it, getting shot at the whole time: :stonk:

When a second armored truck comes to the rescue, a second ATGM blows *that* up: :stonklol:

Just pointing out that's a somewhat older video, and he's FSA. Not ISIS.

You don't see as many of the hop-around-the-corner and spray-and-pray videos like you used to. Prolly because the Syrian rebels learned pretty fast not to do that. Most of the videos now show them inside buildings and shooting from way back inside rooms.

Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow is the best dictator. He DJs, plays the guitar and pays J-Lo millions to perform at his birthday. Saddam had nothing on this poo poo.

Two of the biggest and most pernicious myths about the Vietnam War is that the U.S. "didn't lose any battles" or, alternatively, could have won the war had some different set of decisions been made. Both are so, so wrong.

"We won all the tactical battles but lost the strategic war because of those goddamn commie symp hippie war protesters"

* Ignores the literally dozens of battles where the US got their asses soundly kicked, not the least of which would be the time in the twilight of the war where we got a whole bunch of B-52s shot down through sheer incompetence.

This is a fortuitous topic because last night I listened to this lecture by John Prados, who's a pretty cool historian (who also works with the National Security Archive that does a lot of FOIA deep diving). He pretty much debunks all the myths about "how the U.S. could have won the war," like invading North Vietnam.

Turns out there's lots of primary source material from the government at the time that studied that very question, and deemed it impossible. We literally could not have kept U.S. troops in North Vietnam supplied.

I've read the RAND report on using tacnukes in Vietnam. They said essentially that it'd work, but wasn't worth the escalation risk with the Soviets.

Also goes back to Aliens: Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

Pictured: A destroyer.

I went on her sister ship, complimented some officers on how clean it was (and yes, it was very clean) and they seemed very pleased about that.

But walking down the corridors of a Japanese aircraft carrier while hearing somebody barking out orders in Japanese over the intercom system gave me vibes from the movie Midway. :japan:

Weirdest place for a Phalanx ever. Also, they should have manned the gently caress up and named her Yamato. Bonus points if the second ship was named Musashi.

Kata'ib Hezbollah. Not Hezbollah Hezbollah.

But the difference between the Iraqi army and Shia militias is very, very thin.

Impressive, illegal Chinese chemical supplier guy. This past weekend has been great for my explosion That one video filmed from super close up where you can see the shockwave and debris rapidly approaching and then the video just - stops - might be my favorite.

My condolences to his probably death, though.

There is some schmoe in China who is so royally hosed right now. Way to cause one of humanity's largest non-nuclear explosions and do it in China's equivalent of Houston in front of a bunch of people livestreaming their own deaths during a big currency and stock crisis oh yeah

I'm pretty sure the same thing happens to M-1 tanks when given to Arab countries. Which is to say that the Russian missiles proliferating wildly everywhere were designed for the purpose of blowing them up like so

Are Mexican Marines usually called out to do this sort of thing? It's been a while since I read about the Drug War.

I just read about it a lot and don't have any details. But the Marines are the ones who go on raids because they're perceived as being not-corrupt, and they have an esprit de corps and U.S. training. If you see a cartel boss get killed / captured, it's usually the Marines.

You have:

Marines (can be trusted)
Army (corrupt)
Federal Police / a.k.a. "federales" (corrupt)
Gendarmerie (they're new, don't know much about them)
Local police (corrupt)

I like how airsoft types like to blow enormous amounts of money simulating the military.

It's really realistic.
