    Trump wants Bagram back.

    I am not supporting foreign war. Just discussing it.

    Trump wants Bagram back.

    Yes, because it is. The point is to project power INTO China if a conflict with Taiwan erupts, not project power to Taiwan.

    Thank you genius. If we have a problem between Taiwan and China, I think it would be more useful to bomb China rather than Taiwan.

    Accessories WTB 308 barrel for Origin/Solus

    HIGHLY recommend calling the guys at Lothar Walther. They just gave me excellent pricing on a barrel for my Origin. You can ask for LW50 steel which is harder and longer lasting.

    Why don’t these younger generations pull themselves up by the boot straps like I did

    There are plenty of threads in which you are not the ideal participant, but we still tolerate you.

    Here is a very affordable way to build a house. I personally know the guy who built this and he is an exceptional human being. I will never build a house any other way.

    If the rumors are true, hookers are rejoicing in Olongapo!!

    There is another bar that has been disassembled and reconstructed from another war just like that.

    Plate Carrier for Rucking

    Yep. Disregard the plate carrier as it will fuck your body over badly. Get a good pack and don't go over 40 lbs total load.

    Trump wants Bagram back.

    Or just tell them they can keep getting the stupid foreign aid we send them and give us Bagram or we can stop giving them aid, and they can enjoy Bagram as a pile of radioactive ash. That would work too.

    Trump wants Bagram back.

    I sat there in 2019 with a 240 and a cup of coffee watching F16s and Apaches do alternating bomb and gun runs on the suicide bombers who had hard pointed after their failed attack on the base initiated by a 2500 lb VBIED. It was the most beautiful and snowy winter day and the fuckers attacked...

    Trump wants Bagram back.

    What is hard to convey is just the scale of the place. It was made to project regional power for a sustained peer conflict. It is survivable. It is defensible. It is a logistics hub for air power like no other I have seen. Big AMC bases like McChord or Pope look small in comparison. It had and...

    Trump wants Bagram back.

    Your plan is good but not what would be executed. I don't really want to say timelines I have seen airfield seizures accomplished in as it would probably be unwise even though they are technically unclassified. I can say it would blow your fucking mind.

    Trump wants Bagram back.

    Runways can handle literally anything US mil. It is 1 hr from China's nuke center. You can project strike power anywhere in China or Russia from that base. It is endlessly defensible. If I want to keep it, you will not take it from me almost no matter what. It has ramp space. This is...

    Fair enough. I just don't agree about Bagram.

    Trump wants Bagram back.

    First knees. I am generally with you. I would make an exception for Bagram. Until you stand on the ground there you don't get it.

    Trump wants Bagram back.

    I am literally an SME on what you are talking about. Airfield would be operational and you would have the base quasi secured and posts manned to repel counterattacks much, much faster than anyone here would guess unless they were Rangers or certain SOF elements prior.

    This won’t be popular, but serious question for the Vets on disability

    The VA plays dirty games to fuck you over too. They try to tell you you have to see their doctors even if you already saw one and got all the documentation done because if you see their doctors then their doctors can write you up as if you are fine and deny you. I had to get a letter from an...

    Do they make a rotation limited QD rear slot for the AT rifles?

    Why don’t these younger generations pull themselves up by the boot straps like I did

    Yeah, they have already innovated a solution for that. But in all seriousness, the old time construction techniques are becoming more viable because they are actually faster and can be cheaper due to the cost of labor.
