Modern Warfare

[Col Hogan]

There have been many a debate on this...and many other...message boards about what is going on in Iraq and Afghansitan...and Gaza...and other places where modern warfare is running head-long into reality...

I've had access (not classified) to some pretty interesting stuff...and I've decided to start this thread to offer some of it up for discussion...

I'm planning to post articles occasionally (without comment) and let the discussion go where ever it goes...I will join in discussions, but thought this might be a way to get some interesting info out to you...

Anyway, hope you learn something new...I long ago learned that the day I stop learning is the day I die...and I have no intention of doing that anytime soon...

First article is on some modern gear...and how it is changing the thouoght patterns of military folks...

This is an interesting look at an Israeli unit, which is very similar to some U.S. units engaged in Iraq and Afghanistan...

I'm with you there.

Are you noticing a push towards planting troops, gear, etc.. into Afghanistan? Usually i'm OIF, but latley, OEF has taken precedence.

Current administration is committed to upping our force levels by, I believe, 30K, so that's not a surprise...

I know that, but i'm taling about movements within the past month. Yesterday, we found out that a bunch of stuff is not going to Iraq, instead it'll support OEF and future projects,etc... will support OEF more than OIF. It's almost across the board.

Those of us who frequent message boards like this one are use to a pretty free flow of information...but in the military I grew up in, we didn't hear from the generals much, and definately did not have an open channel to the general on top...

No more...technology like message boards and blogs now offer a more open flow of information in more than one direction...

This is a pretty good story about a 2-star general who blogs with his troops...

Dude, this is nothing you can't find on the internet. If this was top secret, do you seriously think we would be using COMMERCIAL SHIPPING? Fuck no! That's what C130's and C17's are for. Dumb shit.

THE IDEA, FUCKSTICK, IS TO NOT MAKE IT EASY FOR THE ENEMY TO DETERMINE WHAT WE ARE DOING......KEEP INFO LIKE THAT TO YOURSELF.

What dog and his ilk are worried about is being filmed sucking weaner and getting their rims stretched in those cute tents out on the bivy.

Carry on!!

[ASUMountaineer]

Citdog, you really think Osama bin ALLLAAALALLAALLAA is reading CS.com to uncover non-secret missions and shipments to certain parts of the world? Seriously? Come on, how do you think Mark found out? Probably looking online. I would those are the people you should b!tch at.

Citdog, do you still play "Cops & Robbers" with Spanky, Jason & the Steinmetz Twins?

no, but i do play punch stupid, lumbering, dimwitted, former offensive lineman in their mouth. it's a hell of a game.....would LOVE to teach you how to play.

Seriously Citdog, why the threats?

Do you actually believe, sans a weapon, you would last 10 seconds? Jumping over logs, twirling fake rifles, climbing a knotted rope and peeling potatos is hardly preparation for the ring.

I played defensive line, dimwit.

you must be medicated today....you actually seem reasonable.......i want to kick your sorry no account pinko ass.....and if we're ever in the same room i'll do it.....and enjoy it......honor demands it......if you were my social equal i would duel with pistols at 10 paces with you....but alas you aren't so i'll just have to be content with giving yet another poltroon a thrashing.

Me? Reasonable? Aw shucks.

How are you so sure you'd kick my ass? You've never met me. You've seen a few pictures, but that's it. I appreciate that you want to, but that's very different.

I've seen your picture. You look like Billy Bob Thorton, all drugged out when he was dating Angelina Jolie. The difference is, you're gay so you wouldn't be dating a girl AND you're 13 times uglier and scrawnyer than Sling Blade.

When you're done with your mat cleaning shift at your homeless shelter, give me a call so we can work this out. Yes, you can call collect. 1-555-EAT-SHIT



Bring it on D1B you stupid, lumbering offensive lineman! Long live the Confederacy Motherfukcer!!!!!
