If we were to get into an existential conflict with China or Russia?

Yes, absolutely. But short of that, no.
How much are those Ivory Coast foreign wings worth to you? :lol:

re: These 2 German Shepherds had enough!

I like how the OT hates on pitbulls (a hate which I agree with, btw), but has very little to say about German Shepherds. German Shepherds can be just as dangerous as a pit, and there are plenty of news stories to back it up. Hell, I know of two people who have had life-altering injuries from German Shepherds that attacked unprovoked. One of those jumped a fence around the owner's yard and attacked a kid who was running down the sidewalk. Mauled his head, ripped his ear off, and cause him to need multiple surgeries over several years.


GSD's can absolutely be as dangerous as pit bulls. Look at their roles as bite dogs in a working capacity but I think the big difference is that you can 100% attribute unprovoked attacks by GSD's to shitty owners. Whereas it's not uncommon for pitbulls that seem to be completely normal and docile to fly off the handle. If GSD's didn't have a stable temperament you wouldn't see the widespread use of them as working dogs like you do.
It’s certainly possible. Is it just a coincidence though that all those guys were lauded on their work ethic and extra work they put in? Talent and hard work are not mutually exclusive.
Weapon lights exist to gain situational awareness and avoid exactly this type of situation. The use of one with the strobe function as a disorientation device is so asinine. Having several hundred lumens thrown in your face is disorientating enough as anyone whos had a flashlight shown in their face at night already knows.

shite situation.

Some of the worst punches I've ever personally seen thrown were at Graywood. Bunch of ornery old bastards and sad little men too preoccupied with having a faster golf cart than the neighbors to notice their own wives out cucking them. :lol:
Where's that at? I miss my Eddie V's happy hour.
You mean to tell me statistics don't happen in a vacuum?

The same people that were going on about "politicizing" the virus are now throwing out random statistics with an agenda?

How low we have stooped. :lol:

Same people who used to remind the teacher they forgot to pick up the homework in school.
I, for one, am shocked. Are you suggesting the Navy was attempting to scapegoat Captain Crozier for making them look bad and not because there were legitimate OPSEC concerns? Shocked I tell ya.
They're not turning away anyone as I understand it. You fill out the road travel form on the DPS website and if they stop you you just hand it them.
Highly recommend Bucharest if you ever get the opportunity. :pimp:

No they aren't. This is coming from a Texas DPS trooper.
Posturing occurs constantly in the South China Sea. Like Hurricane Mike said people are making a bigger deal out of this than it is. This pandemic isn’t unique to US forces.

China's Navy is already taking advantage of this


Can you provide concrete examples of this? If you can that's pretty poor OPSEC on China's part.

There it is. Hope it doesn't affect our lethality too. :lol:

Foreign intelligence services learned nothing they didn't already know from that email.

ETA: I'm not taking a shot at you fwiw, I know from personal real world experience the consequences of poor OPSEC. I just think that this is a unique situation and if we're looking at it from a threat based methodology COVID-19 is the pressing issue. Sometimes a tactical pause is necessary.
I personally think in this case OPSEC is low hanging fruit.
