When is she not thinking about it?

Well crap, now what am I gonna use to sate my need for more outsider?

That is why you inform your sub commanders your intent Jack. If you tell them your mission is to act in a manner that you are directly attacking a hardened position as to influence the enemy's actions, those sub commanders will be more willing to engage and plan their missions and usage of allotted ...

There is also the internal issues that influence Arab countries as well, tribal and religious divides. A big complaint that I've heard is a lack of loyalty to the nation as a whole or more loyalty to ones family or tribe, even if that group is in opposition with the national government. Plus there i...

One thing that I haven't seen mentioned in this entire discussion is the actual employment problems that we have. A couple strike me as biggies: 1) Public education averages miserably enough that a lot of employers require degrees for jobs that should require high school graduation. 2) We don't hav...

The issue with the paramilitary police is mostly due to a few factors. The drawdown and 'end' of the two official wars in the Middle East which lead to a surplus of military equipment and other items that were given or sold to state and local law enforcement. The throwing of money post 9/11 to every...

I look forward to the article, but I would suggest taking the IDF experience with a grain of salt since the experience of the nation of Israel will not be the same as other nations with the actions of their enemy. The history of Israel and it's neighbors being poor with a large amount of propaganda ...

I don't think I can fully accept that in today's terms of modern combat without going into deeper research which I'll more that likely do soon. I can see your statements having some true during the time frame of combat focusing on hand-to-hand ranges, but not when the enemy most of the time is a sil...

If the loroi made contact in during the Second World War I could see them not firing willingly, but training has changed greatly to the point that atleast U.S. combat forces have a better engagement rate. Plus whatever hindrances that exist tend to disappear after contact from the various family and...

Overall life expectancy has climbed up to the low 70s from UN reports posted in 2012. Just a heads up not a point of argument.

Since the insider says potentially 400 years, is that a lifespan that only the select few have a shot at?

That's still a huge issue for government contracts though. Look at how much the United States has been hacked in recent history, and some of that has been due to negligence of protocols. Cyber warfare is becoming a greater aspect of conflict these days. The weapon system still needs to have a human ...

Like many other failures involving security, nobody knew it was a risk or viewed it as a very low one. The company was acting under the notion that the main purchaser would be hunters, and the only people that would mess with them would at most be activists and they'd have to be close. However if th...

The wifi is to record and share data. For civilian uses, to record hunts and show everything is on the level. Police and Military, to allow commanders to see confirm what exactly the shooter sees before approving engagement. The fact that the wifi aspect is connected to the weapons ability to fire o...

We must prepare as many as we can for our new blue space elf overlords.

He posted in this thread about 2 days ago, so he still exists.

Wars and any related occupations cost time, money, resources, and political will. Wars between conventional forces and normal governmental entities are much easier than dealing with a conflict in multiple countries with numerous combatants and several backers each seeking a different end game for th...

That's a bit of a simplification of all the issues that lead to the status of Iraq today. The disbanding of the Iraqi military post invasion, The general issues that make up the chain of command in the Iraqi military, Sunni-Shia conflicts in both government and in general, the list goes on and on......

I think one of the biggest issues if Russia was to do it alone would mostly be to the non-combat related items that the Lend lease supplied. There was a noticeable amount of aircraft and armored vehicles supplied, but the big step up was providing tracked and motorized transports. The US provided ov...

The German nuclear program was not anywhere close to producing a working bomb when the war ended in 1945. Heisenberg's team was on the wrong track -- they had grossly overestimated the requirements for critical mass, and Germany had very limited supplies of uranium Which the Japanese also did, whic...
