You are wrong..
The most awesome fighting machine in the world is the US Navy, not the Air Force. That was mostly the Navy raining hell on Iraq.. tomahawk cruise missiles carrier based bombing sorties. ... One Carrier battle group (including subs) could level the entire country of, say, Iran, in less than, say, an hour..

That's what I get for posting shit when I first wake up (bombs + air = air force when you're shaking off the dew). I remember now that it was the navy that kicked so much ass. Thanks and I w/d my initial argument.

I wouldn't give as much credit to the Navy (although I was in the Nav) as I do to the grunts..

You are still a tool though ... that makes no sense.

Ok, lets do it this way.. the first ones in are the Navy Seal Teams.. they wde through the swamps and sneak up on people and slit their throats.. do they deserve more credit than some air force asswipe who sits in an air conditioned control module somewhere?

Wow, you're a tool.

So let me get this straight ... you think some corn fed, 80 IQ, meat puppet deserves more credit than the soldiers of the most awesome fighting machine on the earth because he was on ground patrol and (what a surprise) got hurt? Credit goes to both equally, even though the Air Force is much more fearsome (IMO).

And then you discount the efforts of the different branches of the military in a joint fight. Do you not remember the first few days of Iraq when we were really kicking some ass? Am I wrong or was that not the air force reigning distruction from the sky?

I like this, and it's exactly along the lines I was thinking. What's the point of arguing which deserves more credit when they're all part of the same machine. My asshole doesn't do much but let shit pass, but it's all part of a system greater than its parts, as is the military.
 
That is because you people don't understand what a fight is.. lol..

There is no Iraq.

Repeat: there is no Iraq.

It's a cobbled-together country.

Now you have Sunnis, Shi-Ites, Kurds [and all the tribes within those relgious/racial groups] dealing with the sudden removal of a central, brutal authority to keep them in order.

Iraq and Afghanistan represent a failure of imagination on the part of the Great Powers.

If you want to know whether something is right or wrong, imagine it being done to you.

[Heh] Imagine Arabs patrolling Memphis, Tennessee, taking pot-shots at the locals and berating the police for not doing their job: keepin' the damned infidel, pork-eating, beer-drinking insurgents in line.

If Barack Obama wants to know how to solve his overseas problems, he knows where to find me.

You're talking Memphis here ... some order is disparately needed in that hell hole.
 
If the Air Force is just a big group of gay homosexuals would someone mind explaining this shit to me.

The US Navy rules.. when we wanted to demonstrate to the world how badass we were.. that we could shoot a satellite down.. we chose the Navy to do the deed..

"The physics of such a shot were complicated as the satellite was traveling at about 17,000mph at about 114 miles up and the missile moves at about 5,000mph for a closing rate of over 20,000mph. The Navy had a less than 10 second window to hit the satellite as it passed overhead of its ships in the Pacific Ocean."

One shot, one kill..

"The people fighting on the ground have no use for our geopolitical bullshit..."

They most certainly do.

Sending regular infantry to deal with embedded guerillas is not smart. Expecting local cops to deal with same isn't either.

What a mess.

Still, I expect in 100 years it'll be a half-page in a child's history text-book, like 'the Abyssinian crisis' or the 'Uttar-Pradesh problem' i.e. ...

... Something that greatly exercised the chattering classes at the time but which eventually guttered out.
 
No they don't.. if they are in the shit all they care about is how to survive.. last post..

"Joint Fight" is Air Force Speak.. what a bunch of shit.. The Air Force doesn't fight..

I've known Navy Seals (on my ship) that would go out and get in knife fights in bars on liberty overseas.. they did that shit for fun.. How politically correct is that? Sharpened their skills for the "Joint Fight".. lol

Dude.. shut the fuck up.. You have no idea what the fuck you are talking about.
You are way out of your depth.

Tell that to the hundreds of soldiers on the ground that have been pinned down by fire from a building and the Air Force has blown it up. Tell that to the Army commander that uses our predator feeds to know EXACTLY what's inside the compound they are about to go into. Tell that to the people that are still alive because we dropped a bomb on a couple idiots burying an IED on the side of a road.

The Joint fight is a bunch of shit? Dude you have no clue what you're talking about. I have worked with members of all the services in my job and I can tell you that with the interoperability we have with each other we are infinitely more powerful than we would be if we all just did our own thing.

And yeah the Navy kicks ass. They are kinda gay, but they do kick ass.

Every servicemember that's worth his salt see's his job as a very important part of a larger (Joint) picture. We all just tend to over-state our roles - hence the service rivalry's.

yo, Danbo, you trained under Relson? I trained w/ Phil Cardella in Austin.

When I started I didnt train just went in on Saturdays and rolled with his guys in Charleston, SC. Then moved to Charlotte and trained under Alliance with "Sucuri" Togno.

Relson and Jacare get along pretty well.. I've been to a few of his seminars and stuff.. Reslon is cool.. Jacare is too.. Really liked "Spider" Traven.. but he bailed on Alliance..

Jiu-Jitsu is some hard work, huh?
