I’m actually thoroughly enjoying reading all this stuff. Seriously. I’m learning more here than watching and listening to the unbiased networks.This whole episode is done. Someone turn the oven off.
Fresh, you're semi-old school, did you do your diving training at Panama City? Or did you go to Coronado? My cousin's oldest son (whom I am very tight with) finished school as a baseball player with two degrees (one in engineering) and I tried to persuade him to go combat controller because he's got math on his side. He spent months leading up to his deployment to school by being trained by both the Luttrell twins-- his dad owns property next to marcus's wife's father. He's a good kid, that doesn't quit. Solid shooter. Not many bad habits.
But my question to you was, as a 24th guy, back in the day, where did you do your underwater training?
Water survival at fairchild in Mississippi and dive at panama city fl.
I'd tell him to keep his pre-training instructors name to himself unless he wants extra special attention.
So...our military bases never went on high alert in the Middle East like they would under typical attacks.
Our missile defense systems never attempt to shoot down any incoming missiles.
Since the death of Sulemani earthquakes coincidentally pop up near nuclear test sites in Iran.
And we were tipped off when and where Sulemani would be so we could easily take him out.
Sounds like pages out of The Art of The Deal, diplomacy style.

Yes. Donald Trump controls the tectonic plates and it is part of his 5D Chess strategy.
Surely that is more likely than he jumped the gun and then got pushed down by every voice within ear shot.
Your hate for all things Trump severely outweighs any semblance of patriotism you may have for this country. What happened should have happened years ago and now Iran has been forced to bow their head to the USA. End of story.
shhhhhh adults are talking. go back to brushing your toof.
Back to ignored member you go, okie.
No prob, traitor. Funny how people like you would rather claim Iran is being bullied than admit they got dealt with. And to think... it seems like just yesterday you were ushering the caravans in down south....

This is every Democrat in this country at this time. It really bothers me that people take this situation that was more than necessary and turn it against Trump.
Congrats Bell, first time I ever “liked” something you said.
Don’t let it go to your head.
"every Democrat in this country" is turning it against Trump by asking how his fans would have felt if Obama did not retaliate against Iranian missile strikes.
If this is bothering you, you need to realize why such a simple question upsets you.
Well Trump’s fans are still pretty raw about Obama leaving a multi billion dollar tithe to Iran as he was slithering out the door. You should be too.
This was a head fake strike. The poor people of Iran are kept under the boot of some pretty crappy rulers. If you go on social media, TONS of Iranian citizens are celebrating the attack because that dude was a bad dude---- aaaaand they hate their leaders. Those people in the street were at that funeral because they had to be. Just like all the Austrians that showed up to see Hitler in Vienna. Don't show up and the secret police are coming for you. It's a sh!tty situation for a country filled with good and decent people. Their retaliation which failed miserably, AND was tipped off before it happened, was nothing more than to save face with their own citizens so said citizens don't start a new Arab spring. We knew it was a BS attack and we didn't respond. No reason to piss off the people we are trying to encourage to rise up against their leadership.
Bell I am amazed at how smart you sound when you are on the same wave length thought-wise as I am. Who would have ever thought that?...I guess it depends on whose bull is being gored.
so a dumb person agrees with you and instead of asking yourself if your idea is dumb, you change it to say they must now be a smart person. Makes sense.
Gore. That. Bull!
I honestly cannot understand your paragraph. It seems like you are arguing against yourself twice.
"Although, he was very unpopular and citizens are celebrating his death, they had to retaliate or the citizens would revolt and we left them alone even though we want them to revolt."
Also, Soleimani was immensely popular. Quick wiki check shows him at 82% favorable rating.
this is what happens when a person has the mistaken idea that anyone disagreeing with them is dumb and therefore anyone agreeing with that person has a dumb idea. Frankly, I think the fault is in your misguided sense of logic.
I mean, I agree with you? I didn't call anyone dumb overall or dumb because of their ideas.
You said Bell was a dummy but since he was agreeing to your thought, Bell must actually be intelligent.
You're literally advocating for the other side of the same coin.
?????
I never said anyone was a dummy....you did.I said Bell appeared smart when he agreed with me.....it was a joke!
If you cant get along with everyone going back and forth, you might be in the wrong place.
Haha CNN host Erin Burnett just actually said that she has been in Iran during protests and when the Iranian people were chanting Death to America she took it to mean it was more of just a thing to do and they didn’t really mean it
I guess the Left’s new spin is “Oh hey don’t take Iran’s Death to America chant seriously they’re just funnin’ around”
They’re also trying to insinuate that if Iran wasn’t provoked into firing missiles that the Ukrainian plane wouldn’t have been shot down. Again it’s the USA and Trump’s fault

That's my bad, it was poor wording. The media portrayed all 2 million citizens as "mourners" of QS. In reality, the Tehran big wigs made it known that you'd better close your shop and get into the streets and "mourn", or there would be consequences.
So of the other 80 million Iranians that were not at the " funeral mourning or you die" March, the rest of the citizenship were "celebrating" his death (in the streets and on social media)---- sorry again about the wording.
Make more sense now?

The only thing missing from this thread is another epic @elcapitan009 “not my President”meltdown post. That was perhaps the most entertaining and satisfying post I’ve ever read on the inter webs.Chuckulz.
He brings it on himself. He was on here a while back complaining about not staying busy in the oil and gas industry, with his views I wonder why
And thanks for bumping my post since he has me on safe space ignore so now he’ll see it.

Not staying busy? Man, we're working harder than a rented mule in the "slow area" of the eagle ford. (Gonzales, Karns, wilson co ect...) It's not like the goldrush of $100 barrel era but it is still hair on fire.He brings it on himself.

I guess it depends on what type of work you're doing out here.
