Analysis of Strategic Threats In the Current Decade (2010-2020)

[o13starsnstripes]

Are you against pedophiles?  Are you cop?

Don't like fires?  Are you a fireman?

Is the logic starting to seep in?

Those are different occupations and situations. Not everyone is suited to be a police officer or a firefighter. War and our nations defense however is different that is for the whole of a nation and in the Military there are numerous jobs with different occupations to choose to from.

I guess since he's so opposed to the Patriot Act, he's running for congress or the presidency to try and change that.  I mean, if we follow his logic, of course.

Tell me about it.  I doubt he's even read the Patriot Act.

So your a coward plain and simple.

I work with soldiers everyday and you don't talk like one.  When and where did you serve?  DD214?

It was National guard for a short while and like I said before I never said I did much

No, it's the same.  Not everyone is suited to be a soldier - which is why we have the best damn military in the world.

So your saying an 11 Bravo is the same as a 42 Alpha

[OzmO]

Nuisance?  That's really an understatement.  If you look at the last ten years, only one group has brought the entire country to its knees (on 9/11) and repeatedly plotted attacks (see the link I posted earlier).  They have changed our entire government.  They're responsible for the creation of new department (Homeland Security).  They created turmoil in the airline industry.  Hardly just a nuisance. 

Russia, in particular, is pretty impotent.  They don't pose a threat to us economically or militarily.  China is an economic threat.

In comparison to Russia and China's potential the terrorist are a nuisance.  We go to war with Russia or China now or in the future our entire country changes overnight in ways far bigger than what happen after 9/11.

What??  He said not everyone is suited to be in the military.  He said nothing about having a different MOS.

[o13starsnstripes]

I can agree that not everyone is cut out for the same MOS and thats fine but like I said before there are numerious jobs for people to choose from. Just because you can't do one thing doesn't mean your not cut out do another.

"Thread spiraling out of control". Lol

We're never going to war with Russia.  They don't have the money or the capability to fight a conventional war with the U.S.  China might have the capability, but I doubt we ever go to war with them either.  At most, there might be a fight somewhere in the Pacific involving other countries.  

If you want to compare terrorists with a potential global war with another super power, yes terrorists are a nuisance.  But that's not very realistic.  I'm talking about present-day realities, going back to 9/11.  Really no comparison IMO.

Part of the discussion of the thread is "future threats".  The article title in thr thread is about future threats.  If it's a threat later  I see it as a potential threat now.  If Russia and china reach their potential threat status, which looks like China will then as I was saying the comparison makes the Terrorist look like
nuisances.  So in the big picture that's why I think the terrorists are what they are.


Did you happen to read that article China attacking us in popular mechanics?

Did not read.  You have a link?  I'll check it out . . . after I get back from the gym.

A soldier is still a soldier regardless of what they specialize in from human resources to computers to cooks or whatever...they can still be called on to fight.

Like I said, I work for the DOD and you don't talk like a soldier.  I've never heard any of them call somebody a coward just because they opted not to serve.  In fact, most of them are very proud that they are part of an elite few who do serve and should be recognized as such.

[Skip8282]

lol.  Gimmicks cannot help themselves.   

Yeah, I still can't place him though.

[Fury]

Yeah, I still can't place him though.

o13 or Freeborn? Either way, I'd be willing to bet it's Mons Anus/Blacken/Cohiba/whork25 and so on. They love playing the military vet angle. Smart of him to pick National Guard this time.

These gimmicks belong on the Samson board.

The article concluded an attack in the straights of hermosa would be too costly for both sides and therefor wasn't likely to happen.    Because of what you said I thought you might have read it.

lolol, shit!  So many gimmicks I'm getting them all confused!

[Fury]

Safe to say this board has gone to shit with their spamming coupled with the leftist tactic of not actually discussing anything and slinging personal insults instead.

BB, I did a 15 month deployment in Southern Baghdad during the surge as an officer with 1-4ID.  I used to have the same neo con outlook on foreign policy as you do.  Pro war, let's kick some terrorist ass, etc.  Your outlook changes real quick once you spend some time over there and see how f**cked up it all is.  Not to mention being away from your family and friends for so long.  I'm sure all these neo cons would change their views too if they did a tour or two.

I have no idea what the "neo con outlook on foreign" policy is.  And forgive me for not taking anything at face value from people on message boards.  Too many liars on the board. 

My outlook is formed by actually doing homework, talking to people, life experience, and using common sense.  I don't get my views handed to me by some doofus like Alex Jones or some kids who slap together a ridiculous video.

I also get my views from life experience and common sense.  I don't get my views handed to me by some retard like Sean Hannity or some fat criminal like Karl Rove, or kneepad the Bush and current administrations current foreign policy of forever war.

Hannity isn't the brightest bulb.  Rove is a very smart guy.

I think you're dead-on about this Freeborn being another one of those gimmicks.  His posts are starting to scream whork25 style.

And only that gimmick could make a comment as stupid as saying China doesn't get attacked by Muslims.
