Remember that battle with the Russian "Mercenaries" in Syria?

Well, in this case the Russian military said they weren't soldiers. And they weren't taking enough selfies to be tourists. So mercenaries it is.

The Military-Industrial Complex is bad. And we spend too much on National Defense.

But damn if our guys can't wreck serious shit.

We are hands down the best at killing other people and breaking their shit.

American warplanes arrived in waves, including Reaper drones, F-22 stealth fighter jets, F-15E Strike Fighters, B-52 bombers, AC-130 gunships and AH-64 Apache helicopters. For the next three hours, American officials said, scores of strikes pummeled enemy troops, tanks and other vehicles. Marine rocket artillery was fired from the ground.

 

That is bringing the hate. giphy.gif

I think we learned our lessons about assymetrical warfare from Vietnam and subsequent conflicts better than the Rooskies did from Afghanistan.

Too bad we didn't learn from the Rooskies to stay the fuck out of Afghanistan.

‘Murica. Fuck Yeah.

Our end game in Syria is non existent. Our long term goals in the Middle East are not defined. Our ability to win asymmetric urban wars in the long run is not clear.

Want to fight our armed forces in toe to toe combat on the battlefield? Then we will most certainly fuck you up.

The only way to beat us is with Facebook and Instagram. We're doomed.

Yea double down. That’s the spirit.

As much fun as it is to beat our chests and talk about we fuck people up, we lose wars all the time and the reason is we don't understand the wars we're fighting.

We win battles but lose wars.

To lose a war is to fail to accomplish your objective. You can’t lose if you have no clear objective.

The real problem is we conduct foreign policy more via the military/CIA instead of the State Dept with diplomats.  

If we put a quarter of the funding of the military into expanding the State Department and international influence, we wouldn’t need all these troops across the globe.

When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

I'm a right-wing, hippie-hating, flag-waving pissbagger.  But we need a bigger Peace Corps.  They bring American goodwill to places our Military isn't welcome, and if they get slaughtered by Boko Haram, so what.  They're just Democrats.  Win-win.

IIRC, I think we have more personnel in military bands than we have diplomats.

I was so in the spirit that at first I read that as a threat to the Russians.

 

Next time...

We make the text even smaller.

Well the battle under discussion here was more full on frontal fighting, it wasn’t urban fighters hiding among civilians or far up some forgotten 10,000’ mountain peak...you come at the king (of air superiority) in wide open spaces, you best not miss.

I had to laugh at that
