The THeMIS on patrol in Mali with Estpla-32



The wave continues but mark my words.  Terrorists are gonna soon start attacking these support vehicles first and then the infantry will be in for a world of hurt when they see their supplies burning up in the first minutes of an attack.

What happens to your long range foot patrol then?  Better have fire support pre-wired on your phone...do they have an app for that?

Chinese police going braveheart on protesters...


Braveheart as in the charge from the movie, not the cry for 'freedom' when Wallace is having his intestines ripped out at the end...

Cost...it's about the cost.  I get it.  The USMC is throwing away everything in this era that made it a war winning organization, including the idea of being a bargain for the taxpayer, but this thing just costs too much right now!

US Military Sealift...






Why does this strike me as tiny for a military of our size?

The beat goes on in Hong Kong...



In the US we haven't faced protests like we've seen in France or now Hong Kong (at least in my lifetime).  Correction.  We haven't seen them last this long.

Maybe it's geography or culture but I have to wonder what's really going on in both places.

From my chair spontaneous protests would have died out by now.  So how are they continuing?

People do have lives to get back to right?

So how is this possible without some benefactor providing the money for this thing?
