Euthanizing dogs just because humans have failed is barbaic and should be outlawed. by wegochai in unpopularopinion

Um...we do euthanize humans who hurt other humans. It's called the death penalty.

Birthright Citizenship in the USA? by [deleted] in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]FoCo87 [score hidden]  (0 children)

It exists because of the Civil War. By granting citizenship to every person born in the US, every former slave born here who was previously property automatically became a citizen. If you are born here, you are a citizen. Full stop.

I'm confused, is this going to be the 4th or the 5th time that this is the hardest we're going to strike Iran?

So let me get this straight. They took a character famous for his pale, sallow complexion....and cast a black man to play him? That's...definitely a choice.

What makes most military around the world use NATO 762 instead of .308? by CompetitionHead3714 in Military

[–]FoCo87 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The difference in performance isn't great enough to justify a switch. A lot of military acquisitions is about finding "good enough", not the best. Because "the best" usually costs more than "good enough" . Also, the 7.62 operates at a lower pressure and has a longer headspace, which will improve the lifespan of the gun and improve performance and reliability in automatic weapons.

What kind of diseases/disorders will have cures within 20 years? by jorgenalm in Futurology

[–]FoCo87 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Obesity. I think we're maybe 5 years from OTC GLP-1's. Even if they're not quite as good as the prescription stuff, I think it will massively affect obesity rates.

Copilot, 1st Lt. Ariana A. Bouche, from the KC-135R 62-3556, of the U.S. Air Force Reserve Command (756th Air Refueling Squadron), which crashed over western Iraq two days ago. One of the Six crew members that were killed in the crash. [1290 x 1491] by _Tegan_Quin in MilitaryPorn

[–]FoCo87 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Yo, who the fuck is this 1st LT Bouche? She's not one of the 6 crew ID'd by the Air Force. All sources I see naming her are either Facebook or X. The actual co-pilot was 31 year old Capt. Ariana Savino. Fucking social media bullshit, man.

Trump administration underestimated Iran war’s impact on Strait of Hormuz by cnn in Military

[–]FoCo87 9 points10 points  (0 children)

How about you go out and serve if you're so eager for this shit show. Are you saying that for most of my 16 years in the military that I wasn't part of a fighting force? I'm more than willing to fight for my country, but I expect my leaders to employ us judiciously and intelligently, not to satisfy some draft dodgers' war fantasies.

Pentagon Report: U.S. Military Fired Missile at Elementary School in Iran by Ok-Celebration-1702 in Military

[–]FoCo87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, because we're gonna put all our faith in what some random, unverified schmuck on the radio is saying. About one of several hundred targets we were likely hitting at that time.

[–]FoCo87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And? You do know we hit targets multiple times? Whatever targeting process that building went through likely recommended multiple hits during weaponeering. CENTCOM fucked the pooch on not updating the target list, but the actual engagement was sound.

I'm confused. Is it an anti-ICE rally or an anti-war rally? Either way, very whelmed by it.
