To be fair, that dude was probably new. Few people ever get things done right the very first time an ugly situation like that is suddenly thrust into their lap.

Didn't the Soviets just start shelling possible chokepoints a half hour ahead of convoys towards the end of their Afghanistan Timeshare Conundrum?

The 700-person French paratrooper battalion that relieved our 100-person company in Kapisa, Afghanistan brought their own breadmaking machines. They gave no fucks. We were in awe.

MA-Horus posted:Tactical baguette delivery During the siege of Dien Bien Phu, the French attempted to resupply the garrison by air. Although increasingly numerous and effective Viet-Minh AAA would eventually render this untenable, the inaccuracy of the French drops did them no favors. Supplies such as ammunition and rations fell into no man's land, or enemy territory. April 30th is the feast of Camarón, the legendary stand of the Foreign Legion against the Mexican army. The Legion on this day drinks wine and eats sausage. And it wouldn't do to allow the enemy to deprive them. From Fall's Hell in a Very Small Place: quote:One such situation that day was to have humorous side effects. At 2200, de Castries' headquarters reported to Hanoi a successful raid on the Communist trenches and fortifications south of E2 by Maj. Coutant's 1/13 Foreign Legion. One Viet-Minh blockhouse was completely destroyed with plastic charges and two others were severely damaged. In addition at least ten enemy soldiers were killed and others were wounded, while there were no friendly losses to report. The communique, however, failed to stress that the idea of the raid originated in the fact that two complete crates of "Vinogel" wine concentrate had fallen into no man's land east of the Eliane ridgeline held by the Legionnaires. The Legionnaires, who thus far that day had had to celebrate Camerone with exactly one bottle of wine per platoon, were not about to let that precious booty fall into enemy hands. A commando of volunteers was organized (as one non-Legionnaire observed: everybody would have volunteered for that raid) and as soon as night fell pushed off into no man's land. The main objective was rapidly secured, the knocking out of the enemy bunkers being a mere tactical necessity incident to the success of the operation.  (Not actually from DBP.)

So Boeing is pitching yet another F-15 upgrade to the USAF, this time called the 2040C. This would be an upgrade to the existing fleet rather than a new-build like the Silent Eagle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGY2JBuSCU0
