@AnalyticaCamil1 Yea nvm... taking out mothball'd F-117s would be too much but is there a much cheaper way than sending PGMs to these old munition dumps?

@DWalpiri If only our PCG was a military entity and our politicians, directors, and heads of our governing bodies had the balls for their country instead of being chinese ass kissers.

@TerminusVinter Had to delete a tweet saying he's right under his post with all the backlash he received but he's undeniably right with how many ishowspeed gif posters are present on jp posts now.

@IntlIncDave @ShitpostRock2 Eh too many games portray it as a regular 4 shot RL with HE rather than Napalm, the only time I saw it be used for what it actually is was in Wargame: Red Dragon but it was RTS...

@ShitpostRock2 Not banned. People just realized you can put napalm in a grenade launcher / rocket launcher, which allows you to set people on fire without having to walk up to within spitting distance first. Pic related (M202 FLASH).

I’m not defending Cronkite, but much of the reason for the impact of the Tet Offensive was our own military’s fault. We had been told for a couple of years that the communists were on their last legs. Almost defeated and just dribbling out a few last gasps. It would soon be over. Basically MacNamara and Westmoreland had fed what we wanted to hear. Perhaps they believed it. Then in 1968 the whole South erupted in flames. We saw proof in living color that the Communists were not on their last legs and that they could launch a gigantic assault. Westmoreland gave a speech in Saigon on the US Embassy grounds, with dead Cong and Marines laying around. He tried again to say this was no big deal. We stared in disbelief as the head of our forces made it obvious he couldn’t recognized a massive offensive when it literally hit his own front yard. The shock wasn’t so much that “we were losing!” We knew we weren’t losing. But if after 5 years of American intervention the enemy could still field such an attack, then it was obvious that they had a LOT of fight left in them. So the question among those supporting the war, like my parents, was “How much longer?” “Won’t they ever give up?” “What is Johnson’s strategy?” We got tired of fighting forever with literally no plan to win. Just keep killing enemy Vietnamese until … what? They ran out of 18 years olds? There are two big lies to come out of the war. The better-known lie was that we were losing, spread by left-wing agotators. Few believed this, at least outside of universities. The second lie was that our media convinced us we were losing. I hear this a lot nowadays. Sure, they tried to do that. But most people knew we hadn’t lost. We were perfectly able to look on the map and see that every objective of the Tet Offensive had failed. They didn’t capture a single town. The Communists just lost a huge amount of supplies and troops for almost no gains. The point for the American people was that the Communists COULD launch that attack. And at that point we understood that we’d been diddled by Johnson’s administration. He had no plan to win. He thought the North and the Cong would give up. That’s when Congress and the voters turned against Johnson. Look at how right-wing media portrayed the war after that. The claim was that we were handicapped, fighting with one hand tied behind out back. Our military had its teeth pulled, our morale destroyed. And it’s true. The US Army post 1968 was a wreck. It took us until the 80s to recover our self-confidence. And we all know it wasn’t the Communists who beat us. It was our own leaders. Not just Cronkite & Rather, but Westmoreland, MacNamara, and Johnson filling the airwaves with lies. Then when the lies were exposed they had nothing to offer.

This is dead on. Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather turned a Vietnam War win into a leftist-sanctioned defeat.

Sorry, China. The 1951 Mutual Defense Treaty and EDCA legitimize U.S. presence in the Philippines. The real source of chaos lies in your militarization of the South China Sea ----not in our sovereign defense agreements.

@RonnieAdkins I think its the same story for most US Shorads, overpriced as fuck, don't get me started on a fully kitted out Stryker Shorad. Ik US doctrine relies on air dominance but fucking hell jets are overpriced too for the US side.

@codym1917 Wasn't that always the case with China/Soviet(not counting modern russia since they adapted with close airburst smokes) that their smoke grenades launch far and detonate after they've landed?

@vicente_mckool @MountainGenera South Sudan separating from Sudan and still having conflict with their Ugandan border right after the secession is the most applicable one I could tell you.
