FNSS ZAHA looks like a very good swimmer...



Lots of freeboard.  I personally like to see that.  From my chair that show appropriate buoyancy.  Riding low in the water is a problem especially in anything but the calmest of seas.

On a different point I wonder what the cause of our AAV mishap was.  I have no idea but wonder if old age played a role?

Happy Birthday 3rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Bronco Brigade!)...



Ready to deploy anywhere in the Pacific

US Air Force's 21st Special Operations Squadron conducts flight ops aboard US Navy amphibious assault ship USS America




Ya know when you start emphasizing long range amphibious raids from the sea it would only be natural that the organization that has now built itself about being all raids all the time would pile in.

Seeing SOCOM piling aboard amphibious ships doesn't surprise me.  This is their thing.

I can see a future where an entire LHA is dedicated to SOCOM for special ops missions.  Possibly even an entire amphibious ready group.

By listening to the naysayers the Missile Marine's have ensured its own demise.

What comes next will shock the system.  By destroying a real deal Air-Ground Combat Team we'll see the US Army piling on too.  Expect to see Army tanks, artillery and missiles become part of future packages.  Expect to see Marines displaced by Soldiers on some floats because of the emphasis on the Pacific.

A Middle East bound Amphibious Ready Group?  Let's call it an Army Strike Brigade Expeditionary Unit (ASBEU).

Many applaud Berger.  All I see is doom.

A Facebook Group called "Loaded Guns Pointed at [B]enis"..named a member that shot himself in the penis as its King..

via Vice
Back in May, we wrote about a group of gun enthusiasts who love taking pictures of loaded weapons pointed at their dicks. On a long enough timeline, one of them was inevitably going to accidentally discharge their weapon, and on Tuesday, that appears to be exactly what happened to one member in the San Diego area.

A member of a Facebook group dedicated to taking pictures of loaded weapons pointed at dicks finally shot himself in the balls, according to bloody pictures and video he posted on social media and the Imperial County Sheriff's Office, which confirmed the incident to Motherboard. Rather than step back and start questioning whether the practice is wise, the group made him an administrator and are now celebrating him as their king.

On August 11, a member of the group "Loaded Guns Pointed at [B]enis" posted a video of himself pointing a loaded 1911 handgun at his junk. There’s a brief pause before the gun discharges.

The original video of the man shooting himself in the balls and subsequent thread has been deleted, but members of the group captured the video and aftermath and reuploaded it.

“Hey [b]ois, I might have fucked up,” the man who shot himself in the balls wrote above a picture of his naked legs and splattered blood on the carpet of his floor. A towel is stuffed between his legs and a printed out copy of the constitution is crumpled on the edge of the photo.

The guy posted through the incident as he bled. “God’s caliber [.45] went through my scrotum, mattress, boxspring, and floor,” he wrote. Originally the man thought he’d just grazed his balls, but a subsequent hospital visit told a different story.

In the last public post from the man, he’s in a green hospital gown on a gurney. A pink mask is draped across his face and he’s pointing his finger at his crotch like a gun. “Turns out it wasn’t a graze, that round went right the fuck through me,” he posted. “What I thought were two graze wounds, turned out to be an entrance and exit wound.”

Just when you thought you'd seen and heard it all American culture jumps up and slaps the shit outta you!

This has got to be the most insane group I've ever heard of.

These members have got to be smoking crack!

This idiocy is so crazy it's borderline cool....or at least weirdly funny.

The Greek Frigate involved in the bumper cars at sea incident with the Turk warship seems fine...



I guess now we need pics of the Turk ship...

Nature is brutal...the further we get away from it's reality the more we move from our own

Nature is brutal.  Even Zebras will kill the offspring of rival males.  From the reaction of the ladies in the video they're shocked.  That's because they believe in the Disney version of nature.

The more we remove ourselves from the reality of nature the more we move away from our own reality.  Even in the US/Europe and the rest of the developed world we see predators roaming.  It's even worse in the undeveloped world.

Brutality.  It's only natural.  We just have shielded ourselves from that reality. Certain portions of our society haven't.  BE PREPARED!

The Lun-class ekranoplan final resting place...If we're serious about a major sea battle we'd buy the plans...


If we were serious about the sea battle then a few WIG machines zooming in unleashing a barrage of anti-ship missiles at a Chinese task force would seem an ideal solution.

The Missile Marine Corps is acting in an extreme fashion to this so called problem and our big sister ain't doing nothing.

Meanwhile the US Army seems to be the only people planning on adding capability while evolving the rest of its force.
