I spent my formative years in an engine room, but at least it had AC.

LITERALLY SHAKING posted:I read some poo poo this morning on facebook about some US contractors stuck at balad air base for some reason or another. Anyone know if they got cleared out? This was true, I know a guy out there. I don't know if he got out yet as I haven't checked up on him since he told me he was stuck.

Here's a couple links about the situation in Balad. Sounds like it was mostly dudes up there on FMS contracts to the Iraqi govt for the F-16s and some other aviation poo poo.

You also sometimes ended up in an area in town with some semblance of a trash collection schedule and power poles with 6 main power lines without the 40 strands of 10 gauge wire wrapped around them.

I think we needed to deploy Segways. Lightly armored ones. With guns mounted on them. A mobile strike force for the 21st century.

Do you mean the A1P1 with the troop carrier on the back or the A1P2 with the 5th wheel? This could be the budget difference between having 950 Segways and 965 Segways

But what happens when they find an abandoned copy of ATV Offroad Fury 4 in a Humvee and immediately start brainstorming on their newest weapon to roll into Afghanistan's mountainous terrain???

Instead of trying to build schools and poo poo we should've just airdropped a bunch of 360s, mtn dew, and Doritos. BAM no more supply of suicide bombers.

Better yet, send in peacekeepers to give "inoculations". You either infect the populace or get a whacked out SF officer talking about severed baby arms starting his own army of browns and being worshiped as a god.

gently caress depending on Russian trash they managed to whip up in the equivalent of a loving garage surrounded by barking savages. Go natural, go Smallpox. And we can get rid of all the anti-vax hippies at the same time, because gently caress those idiots.

Except unlike the goat gently caress nations we'd be using it on we can immunize our population pretty rapidly and understand modern medicinal theory like washing our hands or not wiping our rear end with our bare hand.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeUYE1XNO5E Someone shared a pretty snuff (is that the term?) video on facebook of a bunch of dudes getting executed in the street in what looked like a "city." I mean, I'm sure there's tons of them related to Iraq but this one was recently I think. Can't find it.

I have a dream. A dream of reporters and news stations streaming footage of Arabs killing each other. For months on end ISIS and Iraqis fighting to the death. gently caress. Throw in the Iranians too. And when one is left standing, we bomb the gently caress out of them. I mean go full on Berlin style. Leave nothing but sand and smoking craters. Then we annex what's left and declare it Exxon-Mobil, the 51st state.
