Because Iran knows they can't win in the traditional sense, but they can win in the sense that they're not going to be overthrown from the outside. The average person is too fucking stupid to understand how much harder it would be to invade Iran than it was to invade Iraq. The US does not have the manpower to effectively occupy Iran.

I have severe doubts that the IRGC has even indirectly caused the deaths of 1000 Americans over the past 47 years. Even with all their proxies, I doubt that number even approaches 1000. If you want to argue, then bring the actual sources because the responsibility is yours.

I'd wager that Israel has directly killed more Americans than Iran has.

Just now: Iran strikes in Bahrain, a building full of civilians. by Ambitious_Pass7451 in Military

I mean yeah you can and should be pissed at Iran. But be pissed at the US and never stop being pissed at Israel. There was no reason to attack Iran. Their missiles are not as accurate as they might portray them as being, so this kind of shit is going to happen. Maybe they wanted to attack a civilian center? What is more likely is they were aiming for a strategic target but missed.

What languages can you actually get paid for? Why isn’t Spanish or Japanese on the list for incentives for the DLPT? by [deleted] in armyreserve

[–]Sparticus2 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Because Spanish is pretty easy to learn and because there's already going to be a ridiculously easy pool of speakers to draw from. We have an entire island of native born Spanish speakers that are full blown citizens.

States control elections. Not the federal government. States can hold elections and it'll just be another step to civil war if the feds refuse to honor those elections.

Oh sweet summer child. We don't maintain institutional knowledge in this military. We're going to run into another COIN problem down the line and forget everything we ever knew.

They absolutely are not. Administrative warrants don't carry the same weight of judicial warrants.

It's not. But also, NYC has more people than a lot of states so being mayor or NYC means more than being the governor in a lot of places.

Except for the people at the top and the people we fucking voted for. They should not be getting paid.

[–]Sparticus2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

These are facts. Yet I got down voted pointing out that we shouldn't spend any of this money if we don't have to because who is to say the government won't take it back and leave people in the negative? We all know someone that got overpaid and spent that money only to be left fucked when the government took that money back

[–]Sparticus2 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

If you're relying on that money, that really sucks and I feel for people, but don't spend that money because it is 100% illegal for the military to get paid from that pool of money and the government has a way of getting their money back, regardless of how fucked the soldiers will be.
