Interesting. I know that the gay community have been strong supporters of Muslims in the US/Europe with conservatives stating that if they only knew....well now they do at least in the UK and the results are less than optimal for the trans folks. Can this be labeled a FAFO moment?

Still don't understand the popularity of wheeled artillery. Only thing I can think of with the US Army is that they'll go to the Stryker Brigades (or whatever they're calling them), but the mystery for me is the Airborne/Air Assault/Light Infantry Divisions. Are they giving up their triple 7's and going with this? If so then they're gonna become heavier than even I imagined. Dispersion is all the rage but if the battlefield has indeed gone "hyper survelliance" and everyone will eventually be spotted then all terrain mobility becomes even more important. I don't see these vehicles as having high cross country mobility.

When they fully militarize these robots its gonna be hell for humans. Can you imagine a squad of robots vs a human squad. I guess we're gonna need to role out emp rifles for inorganic enemies and regular rifles for organics.

A 4th Ranger Battalion? Why now?

JUST IN: The 75th Ranger Regiment is rumored to be moving forward with the activation of a new 4th Ranger Battalion.

Initial personnel are expected to start reporting to the unit in September, and the battalion is projected to reach provisional status by next summer. pic.twitter.com/t2qzEwKJ0q

This is weird to me. I could get a 4th Ranger Battalion during the war on terror, but now? Supposedly we're getting ready for Large Scale Combat Operations (LSCO). As much as SOCOM hates to admit it, I have seen nothing to indicate that Special Ops is vulnerable to conventional forces. Additionally they reducing (supposedly) the size of the infantry squad from 9 to 7 Soldiers to make this work. I just don't know. The only way this makes sense is if Rangers are planning on making runs at enemy command posts, nuke sites, etc...God bless these guys. Seems like someone in leadership might actually be planning on sending these guys on a raid into hell.

The people of India suffered too. Pretty fucking sad...
