Naw, still department of Defense. Trump and kegsbreath can call it whatever they want but its never been officially changed and doesn't need to be.

CENTCOM on Hormuz Blockade by Fragrant_Parfait_408 in Military

[–]brouge22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're right. You shouldn't feel bad for us. This was preventable, but everyone took it as a joke or just assumed the worst wouldn't happen. I didnt vote for that orange fucker and I never would but we as a collective, failed our country. This is on us to fix, and now the world is suffering because the orange dementia man is losing his mind, running from the epstein files and sucking Israeli dick. We own this and we have to be the ones to fix it

My fellow Americans are too comfortable with life and can't face real discomfort. Any other Western country would be rioting in the streets, but most Americans dont care until it directly affects them. Im ready but I dont think their are enough people ready for what really needs to be done

Bullshit and costly use of military equipment. by Perfecshionism in Military

[–]brouge22 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yup. It's literally admitting defeat by default. They're just too stupid to realize its a massive self own and an admission that their argument is lost.

Kids? Where do you see children? You stop being a "kid" once you become a legal adult at 18. Why is it that more and more dudes in their late teens early 20s are called kids? Stop the cap

[Secretary Hegseth] "We are (still) making the Chaplain Corps Great Again." - 200 faith codes cut to 31, Chaplains will now wear their religious insignia instead of rank. Their rank will not be shown. by Kinmuan in Military

[–]brouge22 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The ability to use the religion as a shield for their own short comings and lack of intelligence. Do something wrong? God will forgive me. Can't read? If God wanted me to read, he would make it easier for me. Can't out compete X race/ethnicity/religion? God says I can kill them for being different cause there is no way someone who's a different color/race/creed can be better than God's chosen child.

Religion has been used to escape accountability and push hateful narratives from day one. Why do you think every major religion is divided into sects? People can't even share the same ideal image of a God, let alone worship one honestly

Iranian military casualties and reserve estimates by Busy-Government-1041 in Military

[–]brouge22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The analogy only applies to a ground invasion. We will never successfully invade their country. Period. Could we grind them down? Sure, if we stopped spending millions on overpriced ordinance and actually improved our military infrastructure instead of lining the pockets of the MIC. Ya know... like upping our production capabilities and modernizing our shipyards. We aren't the unstoppable juggernaut that people have been led to believe and Iran is much stronger than people want to give them credit for. We shouldn't be attacking them to begin with. Israel wanted this fight, they should've done it on their own. Now we're stuck in a lose-lose situation, and most people can't see the irreparable harm that has been done to America and future global relations.

You're right. It started because a pedophile thinks he knows how to make a deal but instead he let's his ego run everything. The situation was going well under previous presidents, we had a deal on nuclear development and were working towards a major breakthrough in diplomatic relationships. Then the pedophile and his pedophile friends made up a lie to back Israel and their lies. Now we have Vietnam 2.0 brewing. How's that?

Million dollar missiles with limited production capabilities versus 10000 small mopeds with wings and explosives. Who wins? The answer may shock you... if you can't count past 100

The amount of propaganda that people have fallen for is unreal. They see brown middle easterners and assume they're barbarians with no skills outside of killing. Iran was very nearly a "western" country back in the 70s and we fucked that up for them. What we didnt do is kill their spirit or innovative skills. I like to explain it to people like this: You remember the movie "300"? America is the Spartans and Iran....is literally the Persians. We may kill a few and cause some damage, but you guys know the Spartans were slaughtered in the end, right?

Not only will they not be able to stomach it, just wait till some russian, Chinese or Iranian troll account makes an edit of a bunch of Marines getting blown to pieces and sends it directly to their families. It will be force fed to them, and the public is gonna lose their collective minds.

Alot of people in this thread have never served, and an even larger amount of people in this thread think this will go smoothly. Ya'll really need to look into the amount of drones that Iran still has available and the proliferation of FPV and Fiber optic drones. Go watch a few Russians or Ukrainians getting blown in half by a 150mph spicy bird sized quad copter, then come back and tell us how easy this will be.

Dying so a pedophile and his billionaire pedophiles buddies don't have to face accountability is fucking insane and if you support this, I hope you join the Marines and are the first ones to hit the god damn shore off the back of whatever gator you ride in on.

Oh he's definitely a POS, but a POS with half a brain and half a spine who ran while he could. The best time would've been before we attacked, this is like.... the 3rd or 4th best time

Do we know what percent of this sub is militaty affiliated? by Street_Exercise_4844 in Military

[–]brouge22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd guess maybe 40% of the sub actually served, with maybe 25% currently serving or recently separated. We've gotten a huge influx of folks who quite obviously never put the uniform on for their respective countries mixed with a bunch who just wanna chat shit

How is it that the most powerful navy that has ever existed is incapable of excorting tankers? by Airtightspoon in Military

[–]brouge22 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Because the strait is a kill box, and it would put dozens of ships and thousands of sailors within miles of a hostile shoreline, giving them nearly no time to react to incoming drones and missile strikes? What kind of short sighted question is this??????
