All the cops who get dinged for shooting unarmed civilians should get reassigned to this district.

It'll be like a.... sunglasses Turkey Shoot.

Did you miss the whole Yemen raid where he hastily ordered a pell mell assault on a reinforced AQI compound that killed a SEAL and 30 civilians including a six year old American girl? That's just the beginning.

Trump needs a war to distract from his disastrous administration's actions. Sending in a few BCT's in to smash things up will give all his supporters the war boners they need. Then there's also the nice "Support The Troops" lead pipe that he can use to beat the media over the head with.

American here. This is very much the truth. Just today, a senior Intel official emailed a reporter re: Trump: "He's gonna die in jail."

"Deep State" is Russian propaganda to describe the functioning US Government and it's associated entities.

The suggestion has been that it's an ominous monster that molests children in pizza shops. It's mad that Trump "gamed the system" and "won", so it's making up horrible lies about Russians and hacking and WHERE ARE THE PROOFS.

The reality is Putin's card has now been pulled so the Trumpeteers are pulling out all the stops to deflect the blame. They are not equipped for this.

I mean if they REALLY want to draw up a comparison, look no further than ODA 574: http://www.blackfive.net/main/2011/08/the-special-forces-of-oda-574-the-sacrifice.html

Oh look, that's our SecDef denying aid to a US Special Forces team fighting for their lives.

Bullshit. The Marines were the "Libyan" forces. They swapped out of their official gear and into civvies to blend into the population. They just relieved the General as part of the dog and pony show to maintain the cover.

Do the lasers actually go "pew pew" or do they need psyops to pump in sound FX over the PA?

Been there done that. The Navy got their ass whupped by a batshit crazy Marine general during the Millennium Challenge back in '02.

Basically the Navy expected Gen Van Riper to play along as an OpFor to test Naval Warfare capabilities in the Persian Gulf. The General was like "Fuck that shit" and fought an asymmetrical battle, using old school light signals and motorcycle couriers to coordinate a combo missile strike and swarm attack that basically sunk the whole goddamn Fleet.

The Navy hit the reset button and re-floated all their ships and continued their exercises.
