Remember when I said that Doug Pederson was the John Rutsey of the Andy Reid era Eagles?

Don't worry, nobody else does either.

And nobody (not in the Sheena Easton sense, but rather in the nihilistic sense) gets it.

 

But nevertheless you're the Lee Garlington of the EMB.

 

Furthermore, the swedes would categorize you as a Surströmming, and not in the good way.

amirite @DrPhilly

 

 

 

 

i have problems 

Guys, don't laugh at this or Mike is going to get mad again.

Probably the reason you don't understand it is because it was dumb for him to announce that he made a decision. 

Or you're just stupid. 50/50

yeah, that was the issue with your first sentence. :roll:

So this sentence:

I love how Biden announced to the planet that he decided what his response would be.  

is confusing to you?

This is some BS, waaaawaaaa!!!! I’m going to vote for a man who has mocked the military his entire life instead. 🤦‍♂️ 
 

You can BS all you want about me smoking weed, you will always be someone that bends over backwards to a man who called you a loser, thinks dead soldiers are suckers and losers, and lied about about why he cancelled a visit to Aisne Marne, just to name a few.

The choices in November are Trump and Biden. You might have a valid point if Zuke wasn't one of the biggest trumpbots in CVON history.

I don’t know, he’s standing next to Procus and Mike.

The CIWS is basically the last line of defense. With a range of around 4000m. So more or less the Houthis came to within about 6 seconds of landing a hit. 

The chance of a single drone getting past CIWS is about as likely as me landing a punch on Mike Tyson.

So today the Carney had to use its CIWS to down an anti ship missile.

And yet the Iranian ISR ship is still sailing around providing targeting data.

Question for you guys, what's the difference between a CRAM and a CIWS? I've seen them used interchangeably, so it doesn't seem to be a case of land vs sea designation. And doesn't a ground based phalanx use the same M61 vulcan as the ship based ones? Is a CRAM just a subset of a CIWS?

C-RAM is ground based and uses self destructing rounds.  CIWS is ship based and uses armor piercing rounds. The ordinance difference is because C-RAM is used in close quarters with friendly troops where fratricide is more or a concern.

It’s not THAT the CIWS did it’s job, it’s that the CIWS HAD to do it’s job. 
 

The truth is in the nuance.

I actually got my attacks mixed up. I don’t know why I was thinking they shot down a drone. It is a little more concerning that a missile got that close.

This response is weak. It will only embolden Iran.

Far enough. It’s been a bit congested over there.

Like Syrias red line?

Strikes carried out at 7 locations in Iraq and Syria. 125 munitions dropped, some from B1 lancers. No word on number of enemy deaths. "Attacks will continue" but no other details provided yet.

We got 85 targets so far, and I don’t think they are done yet. I’d rather err on the side of not escalating to all our war, than the alternative.

Why is it that Iran doesn’t seem too concerned about escalating to all out war with us ?

Because they don’t GAF about their citizens?

How did 20+ years of war in Afghanistan and Iraq work out for us? Does anyone really feel better about 9/11 because of it? Did it stop attacks like this?
