I think this country needs to fully embrace imperialism... this drawn out piecemeal world police role sucks ass. If we are gonna spend our servicemens lives, dollars, and resources then why not get anything in return? Take shit over, Darth Vader style.

I've said it quite often; What happened to the old days when you won a war, you gained a country.
Why do we not take the oil? Our men died in this war, our money paid for it.
Why is Iraq not the Eastern United States?

Do you think China wouldn't?
Syria?
Iran?
Anyone else.
(Well, maybe not France.)
(Or Canada)

They've been fighting Hezbollah for over 3000 years, now.

FIXED IT FOR YOU....

are you sure we're not related? I've been saying that for a while now. We're the strongest most technologically advanced military power in the world, we should act like it. When it comes to killing we've made it an art form.
We should just take shit over.

 

[OT]

We used to have an old saying in the Air Force, "When it absolutely, positively, has to be destroyed, overnight."
We didn't use that line for nothing.
Think the Iraqis had anything catchy like that?
HELL NO, they didn't!
We did, baby!
Hell yeah!
Man, I wanna go blow some shit up, now!

Israel about to start a war?

Israel is responding to the killing of three of their soldiers and

Sean Connery had it right in The Untouchables, "He pulls a knife, you pull a gun. He puts one of yours in the hospital, you put one of his in the morgue."

I wonder if al-Qaida would be as bold if they understood that bombs would start dropping on Mecca the next time they lit a fuse.

Agreed.
I'm not saying that Israel is at fault, just that this situation is likely to escalate beyond what normally happens when Israel bombs something.
I think ti's their right to retaliate, and the fact that civilians were killed doesn't make any sense. If given a chance any one of those "civilians" would attack Israel.

precisely. I believe that there are some innocents, but not many, and they know what's coming, so they have ample time to leave. What's left should be considered combatants, and dealt with accordingly.

 

[RedHeep]

In a post cold war, terrorist happy world, the lines between combatants and civilians have become very blurry. You can't even count out women and children.

I do have issues with Isreal imposing their NATO-given authority on some people who were around long before we decided to make that place a country and give them tanks and airplanes.

That's better. Usually takes the Air Force a couple of days to figure out where to put the restaurants and movie theaters when they get there.

 

[OT]

When the AF goes in, the scene looks like at has been erased.
When the Marines or Army go in, it looks like a scene from the Keystone Kops.




Oh, and don't be jealous of the restaurants, movie theaters, and excessive R&R.
You just picked the wrong service.

I'm way jealous of all that stuff, but the blue office suit turned me off.

 

[OT]

I wore those a couple of times, but only for special occasions.
BDUs were what I wore 99.999% of the time.
The Navy was my first choice, but bell bottoms........
I ended up being very glad they had the bell bottoms.

 

[Dirt]

Oh wow! Fighting in the middle east.


I'll get the popcorn ready.

 

[Ramsey]

Yeah never saw that coming right. It was peaceful for so long in Lebanon then those dumbass Hezbollah had to go and fuck shit up.

 

[Lawn Cher']

Can't you keep your terrorist relatives under control?

 

[RedHeep]

You have F-16's and tanks?

Bring it on, we have sticks and rocks.

Where exactly do you think the Israelis get all those rockets and bombs they are dropping on Hezbollah, and Hamas? We ought to just call it 'advanced military testing'.

Their air force is so damn good they figure how to do things with our planes before we do.

Israel is one of my best customers.
