Most of the gun owners and hunters in the US recognize that the Democrat party are a serious threat to our way of life. They will therefore support Trump and see an attack on him as an attack on the US and his supporters. They also see Canada's embracing of Socialism as a support to those we oppose.
As well as the embracement of communism.....
Gee, do you think maybe the part of the graphic that says: "CTGN is funded in whole or in part by the Chinese..." is an important piece of information there?
It would seem that Trump does not shy away from using the presidency to enrich himself, but perhaps its a better version then the regular "establishment swamp" since it is Trump who is doing it?
I'll take "Worst Ever Appeals to Authority" for $2000, Alex.
Along with previously stated: They won't need to, they have the range... and the F-35, unlike the Cobra, is fast enough to escort the MV-22s. And the LCACs can avoid most, if not all of the mines and mean no beach is out of reach. The distances involved really aren't that great. Only question is really "why wasn't this a day-1 task?"
“Winter” hahah
Don't bore me with ignorance, and liberal propagandaIt would seem that Trump does not shy away from using the presidency to enrich himself, but perhaps its a better version then the regular "establishment swamp" since it is Trump who is doing it?
Trump’s Profiteering Hits $4 Billion
In August, I reported that the President and his family had made $3.4 billion by leveraging his position. After his first year back in office, the number has ballooned.www.newyorker.com
Yes it’s crazy how many languages Green Berets learn. One of my staff was in for 21 years and retired as a SGM from 7th Group. He also spent time in Europe and the ME during the GWOT. He speaks Russian, German, Portuguese, some type of Arabic or Farsi (I don’t remember) and Spanish. When we are out shopping, running errands or run across tourists, he can speak to them all. People love it. A Hispanic gal that works at the last gas station on our way into the mountains loves him. He tells her when we will be stopping by for fuel and she has a dozen homemade breakfast burritos ready for us every time! It’s great. What’s not so great, although he, my wife and our other staff think it’s hilarious, is when he and some of our other single guys on staff go out to the local country music night club to dance. When women he dances with (some are Hispanic) ask his name, he gives them my name!I spelled out FID a couple of posts earlier
Foreign Internal Defense
In lay terms - sending guys into a country to train host nationals how to fight against an insurgency
Unconventional Warfare is similar, but has layers of difference - sending guys into a country to train host nationals (and potentially others) to become an insurgency
As an example… late 2001… 5th Special Forces sent teams covertly into Afghanistan to arm, train, and help lead the Northern Alliance against the Taliban government. They were there before conventional troops arrived, operating alone, etc… the movie “12 Strong” is about one of those teams… this is UW…
By 2002 the US had displaced the Taliban and installed the Karzai government… Afghanistan needed a military and police force to secure the country against insurgents, remnants of the Taliban, and jihadists coming in from abroad… so Special Forces transitioned teams to FID… and started teaching Afghans essentially how to be an army..
Army Special Forces (Green Berets) are the primary force the US uses for these two missions, although other SOF units have some capability to do them as well. This is because FID and UW are core mission sets for SF where they are largely seen as ancillary for SEALs, MARSOC, etc.. and SF units are responsible for specific regions of the world where MARSOC is a global force… so for example, 10th Group is assigned to Europe as its area of operations.. so guys assigned to 10th Group will learn European languages (mostly Russian, German, etc) and will study European culture, religion, common courtesies and customs, etc and will get regularly stationed in Europe during their careers… 7th Group is Latin America.. so those guys learn Spanish and Portuguese and a few other languages spoken in the Caribbean, etc.. they study Latin American cultures, religion, customs, etc… 3rd gets Africa, 5th gets the Middle East, North Africa, and some of SW Asia… 1st gets Asia-Pacific… then 19th and 20th (National Guard Special Forces)are broken up and aligned with the different active duty groups)..
While some MARSOC or SEAL or USAF SOF might know foreign languages or have some cultural training, etc.. it’s not commonplace.. for SF it’s mandatory.. which puts FID and UW right in the SF wheelhouse…and something of an extra task for the others…
Way to tell him, Mark! Never ceases to amaze me how some of our European “friends” sit on their azzes and criticize the USA while enjoying their freedoms and free healthcare we’ve helped pay for with blood, sweat and tears for decades! Hey @Pondoro how about a “Thank You” once in a while?? Ungrateful bastard!
Hey, it does get down to low teens (F) in Winter time.
It's all relative--once in Southern Sudan it almost rained. The cloudburst evaporated before it hit the ground, lowering the temperature to only 100 degrees F.....and the local people put on blankets!
