Of course you would take a tactical observation and twist it. I never said there was no collateral damage...I said it "appears" there is an effort to limit CD. It is interesting you never mention all the dead Americans as a result of Iran and their actions/funding/support...c'est la vie I guess. Burisma - Ukraine BHR Partners - China CEFC - China Look up his real estate deals around the U.S. Embassy in China God knows what else but we will never know because the "Big Guy" gave him a pardon for EVERYTHING. How about some context? #1 - How does that compare to other conflicts? #2 - HUGE disclaimer as they admittedly include and lump in figures from Israel/Lebanon/other Gulf States I was talking about U.S. efforts to minimize CD...I am sure the Iranians have done the same. War is horrible, abhorrent and disgusting and I am not defending it, merely making tactical observations.

Yeah I think as shitty as some of the decisions seem to the hoi polloi there are usually reasons why. Some good, some bad, some just odd but reasons why it went the way it did. Keeping the factories open and busy with Project A to enable Project B, valid. I think the money could have been found and still could, just would have to take some risk or do without something assuming no supplemental funding. I guess the other thing or one of several things about watch this UPT thrash is how it has it centered on acquiring the T-7 above all and that is primarily there to train for the fighter tracked guys, that’s about 15% of the pilots in the AF. Don't get me wrong, selecting strong swimmers for that career track and training them well before they go to the F-69 or other jet is very important but you have to not bend the whole enterprise around one thing to do. Other training systems (aircraft, sims, LVC, etc.) could have better trained the whole future force vs. a new, bespoke system geared toward an important but only one part of the line. Just my opinion.

Think the dead girls school would beg to differ on "always." What deals did Hunter do in behalf of the us govt? What deals has Kash done? Apples and F22s here. Also, wtf is this MOU? This is winning?

Some interesting photographs of A-10s that have been fighting in Iran speak to somewhat of a strategy, at least on the surface level. This picture highlights something I mentioned early on, they have been using a lot of lower yield munitions most likely due to CDE constraints imposed by the ROE? A lot of the early video showed much smaller detonations from what I would have expected, now I see why. The targets have always been military things that empower the IRGC and never the Iranian people. I see a lot of APKWS, SDB and what would appear to be 500lb class bombs (GBU-38/54)....2 X 2000lb munitions (they don't have the traditional marking of a GBU-31 or a GBU-10...wondering if they were slick MK-84s? Could be just a painting issue. Regardless, there is some restraint on display.

Pulte—the grandson of William J. Pulte, billionaire founder of homebuilding giant PulteGroup and a Mar-a-Lago member—has no intelligence background whatsoever. He currently serves as director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, roles Trump confirmed he will keep while moonlighting as the nation’s spy chief. At this point, Tulsi was a better pick. Isn't there an absolute boot licker out there that also been an exec at one of the many intel orgs out there? None?
