Rest in peace soldiers, and quick recovery to the wounded.

This is also in the Israel and Iran thread. Maybe merge this one into that for continuity?

I’m reading that this could/should have been preventable; mixed up ’their’ drones with one of ours so didn’t shoot it down? Really? I’ll save the snark but man is that frustrating to read.

Fuck. Iran trains/funds KH out of Syria near Jordan's NE border. Bomb the living fuck out of it. Bomb the living fuck out of Iran. We should've bombed the living fuck out of Iran in 19-fucking-79. I said back then we're gonna be fucking sorry someday we let those motherfuckers tromp all over us. Kill em all. Kill em the fuck all. Yeah, bring on WW3 in the Mideast. Needs to happen.

When I was in Iraq in 2022 these things were dropping out of the sky harmlessly left and right around BIAP.....Ok, the article says the drone flew low to evade defenses but to me that means something is not set up right, and I hope that's just typical media 3rd hand info.

Wait till those guys in the little bird come flying low to evade Abu Haidar's early alert system. That's really going to chap someone's ass...

America is the weakest it has been in my adult life, in every way that actually matters. Diplomatically, information, military, economic... and that's just internationally. We are also super weak domestically. The circling sharks smell blood in the water, and they will bite off increasingly large bites of American people and interests until they learn to fear us again.

Considering Tower 22 has a big honking TPS-75 radar, and aircraft revetments, the decision to hit tent city is kind of...odd.

No one cares if you blow up American "stuff." But if you kill a bunch of them? Yeah, they'll pack up and go home.

. . .or fly ten thousand miles, pound the fuck out of your country and take up residence for twenty years (or until the rent gets too high).

Three US soldiers killed...reported here on a couple of outlets was that Tower 22 was expecting a friendly drone to return & the air defences were switched off, allowing the bogey past the perimeter, tailgating is still a thing.

Sorry. This is what we called a “Mad Minute.”

Still, the point is, the head of the snake is in Tehran, always has been, always will be.
