Syria Gas Attack- What Now?

What does our nation stand to gain from doing "something"? What "something" should we do?

Several of us have enumerated reasons to keep our boys out of it. If you have better reasons for why we should see our guys coming home in flag draped coffins I am sure we would love to hear them...

Crip

I don't wish for any of our guys to come back in coffins!

With that being said, I didn't say "hey, this is the RED LINE, don't cross it!"...someone else did.
What our nation gains is standing up to THAT word.....:blkeye:
Unfortunately, as this unfolds, it looks to me we lose ALOT more then we gain by doing anything other then some type of COVERT plan
(TOO LATE THERE, thanks MSM for advertising where US and UK have forces)

I think we need to slow roll this here and really investigate who is responsible.
Then come up with a plan that doesn't involve Russia and Iran lobbing nukes this way.


I remember something similar happening in 98 when we spun up and went thru a few days of Pmask shit and busting caps.:wall:
Just for a few Cruise Missiles to get shot and NBD.
It could go down like that this time, or it could be the beginning of WW3....I'm thinking the later!!!!

We'll see how this plays out!O_o

Regardless, I am man enough to admit that I was wrong as 2 nuns in a bathtub......:-"

Well the deployment has begun, link.

DAMASCUS — The U.S. military took an unusual move Tuesday with the deployment of two battalions of amateur airsoft players to the Syrian capital, in an attempt to depose Bashar al-Assad, or at a bare minimum, just look like they are at least doing something in the two-year-old civil war.

Indeed, the battalions of fully-grown men — who dress up in military uniforms and shoot each other with Airsoft guns on the weekend — are currently en route to the conflict zone via an extremely short C-130 airbus.

“I’ve been training for this my whole life,” said Jeremy Lyons, a 32-year-old college dropout who swears “Airsoft is just a hobby,” even though his entire Facebook features photos of him looking like a goddamn Navy SEAL.

Sources were unable to confirm whether Lyons had ever actually had sex with a woman.

“We think this is a step in the right direction and a humanitarian way of dealing with these people,” said Pentagon spokesman George Little, although he refused to clear up confusion among reporters of whether he was talking about Syrian civilians or the hundreds of douchebags who play airsoft and think that gives them military experience.

According to Pentagon planners, Operation: Softening Blow will give the rest of the military an edge over Syrian forces, by softening up defensive positions: More specifically, Little said, the hope is that the Syrian army will run out of ammo and fuel from running over Airsofters with their tanks so much, there will be little opposition left.

“Since most of their parents bought their equipment, they’re also better outfitted than Delta Force and SEAL Team 6,” said one official, speaking of the most elite military units.

In the Mediterranean Sea, four U.S. Navy ships are standing by to provide support to the Airsoft battalions, most notably from unarmed aerial drones that will only beam back video footage that everyone can laugh at later.

“They won’t stop shooting at us!” cried one pathetic loser, who intelligence sources believed with 98.7% confidence would die a virgin. “And how do they expect us to eat around here? Has anyone seen Applebee’s? We’d even settle for Shoney’s. Jesus!”

At press time, an advance party of airsofters was seen running through the streets crying, in desperate search of a Holiday Inn Express.
 
Yeah but the overlord didn't post the link in it's entirety and I'm thinking of some of our poor members who can't access the glory that is the Duffleblog from a work PC.

My story and I'm sticking to it... :hmm:

No one suggested you do.

Because the President paints himself into a corner thinking he can just tough talk people into compliance isnt a reason to send our men into harms way. FWIW, our credibility went to shit a long time ago and it wont be fixed until we have a CinC who stand behind his word everytime he opens his mouth.

This is the argument for us having "influence" on the outcome of which bobblehead eventually rises to the top of the heap. Right now forces friendly to us, and forces unfriendly to us are playing whack-a-mole with whoever rises up, but eventually some group or individual will emerge, and not without help from somewhere. When it does, we had better be on the right side of that event. Personally, I think the plight of Syrian civilians is, and always has been, a tertiary concern, if that.
Ah, the those damnable lessons learned, and not so long ago, that are now lost. We need only look back to Karzai.

Here's a little food for thought from an undeniably credible source.

Read that and think about it over your morning coffee.
 
Generals/CSM's: "DAMNIT! All of these damn conflicts keep cropping up, keeping me from getting our military back to the good 'ol Garrison days and advancing politically driven social agendas! How am I supposed to integrate women into combat arms if another war starts!"
Please...................... that's officer type shit.... The 1SG's & CSMs just want to get back to working on their advanced gardening skills with their area beautification projects and ensuring the grass will make a PGA fairway and green look sloppy,,,.,

You forgot the rocks along the walkways need to be white enough to be used in a Royal Wedding....
 
Multiple "leaks" now say the Israeli's provided the electronic data, but it may have been a rouge officer, or an accident.

I am not in favor of a strike, if for no other reason then escalation.
 
It could very well have been a rogue officer, but that still doesn't completely reconcile (in my mind) why a government entity would use a comparatively primitive delivery platform. That's like rolling out the gate with "Mad Max hillbilly armor" when you have Frag-5 kits ready to go on your truck.

I could be wrong, as I am only human.
