Since when do both parties have to agree there at war, for it to be a war?
McVeigh and his fellow militiamen, or conspirators, felt they were at war with US government.
I’m sure there’s countless people living throughout the Horn of Africa, who feel they are at war with the US government, while the US government would deny that wholeheartedly.
Does that mean any of their pickup trucks with M2 Browning’s mounted in the bed, are not actually technicals?
A golf cart with an expended LAW tube, welded to the back, and used to launch as many motars as it can before one blows inside and kills it’s operator, is a technical.
Any motorized civilian vehicle augmented to kill shit in war is a technical. Except maybe VBIED’s, that I’m not sure about.
Which means that’s the question you should be asking: was a technical used in Oklahoma City bombing?
Nah bro, if we had just stuck it out a little longer…
Putting aside the human misery and epic failure of Operation Rolling Thunder, someone should probably send him a basic Game Theory video to help him understand the difference between finite and infinite games, and then see if he can connect the dots.
No, it won’t.
You’re clearly uninformed on the power of Operator Prayer, or Tactical Theology, and the role it plays on the modern battlefield.
With sufficient levels of belief, that bullet can achieve anything. Just remember, if you believe, your bullet can achieve.
He’s probably waiting for it to catch fire and end his misery. The most passive aggressive murder-suicide of all time.
You’ll be hot as fuck in your home, and then a woman will just turn the AC off and complain about how cold she is
This post is already too credible, so what the fuck, I might as well continue to dishonor it’s noncredibility even further.
You can’t really compare a modern major Arab army, to a western army. They serve different functions.
Major Arab armies, at least contemporary ones, are designed to primarily preserve the internal social order and hierarchy. They’re internal security forces, with war planes and tanks.
Which presents another problem, coup d’etats. You can’t risk your command staff aligning against your ruling class, or monarch, so they should not trained, or inclined, to cooperate too much. So you put rivals in charge a different branches, and make sure to purge anyone you cannot trust to preserve the status quo, above all else.
This also means small unit leadership and tactics are antithetical to the purpose of their military.
To be clear, I’m not talking about Arab militant groups or militias, and this is definitely not a function of race. It’s function of the types of political systems you currently find in much of, but certainly not all, of the Arab world.
