Deranged Rhino Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I'm always confused when situations like we have in N. Korea come along. Can anyone explain why someone doesn't just shoot Kim Jong-Un in the head, throw his body in the Taedong River, and then go have lunch? That's how many criminal Roman emperors met their fate, more or less, when those around them got fed up with their bull ****. No need for wars, nuclear warheads, millions of deaths, and so on. We live in a world where the people who actually call the shots disagree with the bolded. Hell, domestically we disagree with that concept. We're entering year 17 of perma-war in the US with no signs of it abating. War is a business model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how many criminal Roman emperors met their fate, more or less, when those around them got fed up with their bull ****. No need for wars, nuclear warheads, millions of deaths, and so on. It works like this. A criminal government is much the same as a criminal gang. They are all guilty of crimes and need the leader to unite them against the worst thing any of them could see happen, which is regime change. Criminal governments can't give up power because then they are targets for the wrath of the people. So no one in the government/gang would kill Dear Leader because their asses are in the same situation he is Ever wonder why Putin has troops in Syria? It's because the fewer regime changes the better for all the criminals. Our invasion of Iraq freaked out many of these criminal leaders around the globe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want any ground troops in North Korea unless absolutely necessary. We've had around 7,000 soldiers die overseas since 9/11. The last thing anybody should want is to reinstitute a draft.

The Michigan's an Ohio-class. Telling the world it's in Busan gives the Russians and Chinese a location on it. Which gives them a chance to try to track it, which gives them info and experience on tracking our ballistic missile submarines. Never mind the escalation of tensions when it's reported we're threatening North Korea with an Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 The monster nuclear submarine the US sent to South Korea looks like it may be packed with Navy SEALs Oct. 16, 2017, 10:20 AM On top of the Michigan as it arrived in Busan appeared to be two silos for SEAL Delivery Vehicles, the tiny submarines used to transport US Navy SEALs and their equipment for their most covert missions deep in enemy territory. http://www.businessinsider.com/us-navy-seals-south-korea-covert-submarines-uss-michigan-2017-10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they were modified as SSGNs, it included converting two of the ICBM tubes to support SEALs, and a C2 suite for controlling special forces missions from the sub. And yes, those are two dry dock shelters for SEAL delivery vehicles. But the picture's from back in April...6 months is a very long time to be sitting aboard a submarine waiting for something to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OYE Call it what you will. Who needs "a draft" when you can "call up" thousands of people. I understand your point, but you are missing a major distinction. That isn't your fault because the media failed to report it in many of their reports of this. The "missed" difference is that this would be voluntary, whereas a draft isn't. "Officials stress that returning to active duty is strictly voluntary, and the service does not intend to implement a stop-loss measure." http://taskandpurpose.com/air-force-can-recall-1000-retired-pilots-new-executive-order/ All pilot positions in the military are voluntary. All they did was change the number. Edited November 7, 2017 by sherpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 The draft has to be completely egalitarian, so EVERYONE, men and women, from ages 17 to 30 are put in the lottery system. This will make the libs happy. People who can't go to a lecture on Hamlet because they hear people die in it will LOVE the DMZ for a 1-2 year stint.

B-Man Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 MARINES LAND ON OKINAWA: The photo was taken during an exercise conducted November 2. The vehicle in the background is an Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAVP-7A1, which carries personnel). Here’s one “swimming”— this page also has background data on the vehicle.
