Best thing that you can hope for is that your last sight isn't some pimple-faced intern shoving his mouth over yours and trying to breathe chipotle-stink oxygen into your lungs. pretty sure when i die, itll either be in a horrific car accident or with a bottle of cognac in one hand and a 1911 in the other, sat back in a recliner completely nude with my last cumshot mixed with my brain juice crusting over on my belly while wagner plays on repeat at max volume

Listen I don't care if we've got video evidence of the legion of doom preparing to open the 7th seal, I'll never support another incursion into that loving place. We can bomb from afar, repeatedly. Crank up the tomahawk production lines and let's build some loving jobs and drop some freedom from afar. There's nothing worth putting boots on the ground for that we can't negotiate with the natives for over CB radios and car batteries we'll drone into them once a month. I'm not loving kidding at all. Let's see what indiscriminate air interdiction campaigns in 2014 result in. I guarantee you it would be the end of radical islam, because there'd be no doubt that the whole Allah thing is a sham in the face of the U.S. Essentially playing a high tech economically positive real time strategy game with your click click derp derp loving peoples blood and sand. How loving beautiful would it be? Seriously. We just watch for them to set up their little humanitarian camps after we drive every living thing with legs outta the cities, then we airdrop in the CBs.. And the AK-47's to show on IR footage for the press that these are actually militant camps and not just loving temporary reprieve from gods indifference and Lemay's second coming. God drat I wish we lived in that loving world.

I'd vote to just let them run things as they want and if a neighboring country doesn't like it, they'll do something about it. Let them hire from our security firms if they want someone from the US over there. If we actually have a reason to send military over there, go in hard and finish hard but that's a stupid idea when we can half rear end things instead over and over.

Snowdens Secret posted:
Hanford's been in the news a bit recently for some unexplained illnesses that have been occurring in the workers doing remediation on some of the underground tanks that are leaking, also because they're fixing to start remediation on the room where the Atomic Man incident happened. Anyway, I came across this article that is pretty interesting...it discusses all the work that went into dismantling a glove box weighing several tons from the inside out, without any contamination. Here's a DOE page with some pictures of the work. e: Genocide Tendency posted:I might be wrong on this but I believe napalm was outlawed, so the US renamed it incendiary gel and listed it only use is as a defoliant. It's a fuckin desert so unless we can convince the rest of the world that camels and scorpions are trees, napalm is off the table. Incendiary munitions (Napalm or otherwise) aren't in any way illegal...the only restriction against them is in the CCW, which prohibits their use against civilians and military targets in civilian areas. The US is a signatory to the CCW but we included a reservation when we signed that we reserve the right to utilize incendiary munitions in civilian areas if doing so would cause less suffering than other munitions. Mk 77s are still in the inventory as far as I know...and that's not even getting into thermobaric weapons which are really what we want to be using anyway if the point is to cause as much suffering as possible to people in cities. e2: From a DIA report on incendiary munitions... quote:The [blast] kill mechanism against living targets is unique–and unpleasant.... What kills is the pressure wave, and more importantly, the subsequent rarefaction [vacuum], which ruptures the lungs.... If the fuel deflagrates but does not detonate, victims will be severely burned and will probably also inhale the burning fuel. Since the most common FAE fuels, ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, are highly toxic, undetonated FAE should prove as lethal to personnel caught within the cloud as most chemical agents. Also quote:Another Defense Intelligence Agency document speculates that because the "shock and pressure waves cause minimal damage to brain tissue…it is possible that victims of FAEs are not rendered unconscious by the blast, but instead suffer for several seconds or minutes while they suffocate." So yeah, if our point is to gently caress up as many people as possible in as painful a manner as possible, thermobaric weapons are the way to go. I'm also on board with the oldest crappiest cluster bombs, just to cause as much suffering for as long as possible after we leave. Bonus points if we throw in some of the ones with submunitions that look like the humanitarian rations (the BLU-97s in CBU-87s I think). iyaayas01 fucked around with this message at 03:09 on Jul 11, 2014 |

Dead Reckoning posted:As mentioned, napalm and WP are still totally legal, as long as you don't use them on civvies. Some of the confusion stems from an incident where we dropped incendiaries on Iraq and some reporter asked if we'd used napalm. The official response was, "Nope..." without adding, "...napalm is gasoline, benzene and polystyrene. The Mk 77 contains JP-8 and a special thickening agent." The other part is from a bunch of peaceniks trying to get incendiaries, WP, and FAEs classed as chemical weapons because both the fuel and the combustion byproducts are toxic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmRASCHJe2Q FAEs own
