How about you actually address what I say, instead of trying to overlay stuff onto it? You know, like is supposed to happen in good-faith debates/discussions. Do you really not get that part of the reason we've had friction is because of your propensity to put words in my mouth, repeatedly and...

See, that's reasonable; a Pulitzer for this is a bit much. And yeah, it's rather out of character for the Pentagon. It could be ass-covering BS, crap pulled together to make NYT look better, or inter-dept/inter-office politics being played out in front of the public. But I wanted to give the...

Maybe not be in the ME under false pretenses and forever war mania, so we aren't in that situation? Just a thought. The US gov and US military blew a lot of good will, a lot of trust, and a lot of PR with our ME adventures, and the half-assed job that the DC did in both A-stan and Iraq. It's...

..trying to avoid civie deaths is usually something that makes us LESS enemies, and holding our gov and military to account when they cause collateral damage is patriotic duty, not 'helping the enemy'.

Now this is unexpected. Seeing the Pentagon humble itself like this and admit this sort of thing, that the 'free' press's job of holding them to account is valuable and necessary, is rather amazing considering how the Pentagon always tries to pretend this sort of media coverage of their fucks...

Irish would like a word, you cunts.

So Montel Williams was in the Navy before being he got his show, as a cryptologic officer on subs, and introduced the world to Kamala Harris.

Very interesting video on 'new gen' warfare from 2018 about the Ukraine/Russia situation as it was then, and the lessons learned.

Rogan interviewing Gen. McMaster.

Nah, BuOrds at least wasn't telling the enemy that they had set their charges to shallow. Iffy torps are not great, but are survivable, as long as you prep for circlur runs, and scoot when right after you shoot. What that fucker did, for what amounts to lols and press coverage, actually killed...

6.5 hours...and he didn't even want to stop air-ops for a little while to vent the ship...the torpedo didn't sink the Taiho, her commander did.

Taiho's commander seriously wanted to keep air-ops going while he had an av-gas fume leak in the hanger, and instead they used the AC to try to vent the fumes...that's a new level of dumb.

I thought it was Shinano that had the idiotic DC crew that left all the hatches open and resulted in her loss just outside Toyko Bay. Or did Taiho also go down due to crap dam-con practices?

Don't forget the IJN's retarded damage control doctrine, which isolated repair parties to specific parts of the ship, and didn't train them in overall dam-con practices the same way the USN did. The Japanese were often their own worst enemy, and we would have lost a lot more ships, planes and...

You forgot to mention that the reason it took both of them was because SoDak had that massive electrical cascade which effectively put it out of action, that cause Kiri to focus on pounding SoDak so much Wash was able to gank Kiri with surprise salvos. The Kongo's were good ships, but please...

Serms our sealift capacity/capability is pretty marginal for our needs at the moment, and not really in a state to supply a force while also facing contested waters, which the whole Pacific could become rather quickly.

Fair enough.

It was a ninja attacking pilots at a civie airport on a training mission. Pilots tend not to want to fight hand to hand, because they really do not want a flight surgeon yanking their flight status over mangled limbs or deep lacerations. This.
