I think they might try. I think that attempts to say for certainty one way or the other are idiotic projections - the people who claim that Iranian leadership are really just rational westerners who are seeking their own self-interest are no better than those who claim that they're all full-Ahmadinejad. There is a strong case that they would consider it a religious imperative.
I am a lot more sure that they will use it as cover to become much more aggressive in the region, and spark a nuclear arms race with Saudi Arabia. Then you have two somewhat shaky, unrepresentative regimes periodically ruled by their extremists. Something I periodically have to re-post when this kind of subject comes up.
I never use it to "slam". I use it because the stories we discuss are military related. Such as drone strikes. Obviously, my experiece would differ from yours in military related stories, as you've never deployed to a war zone.
How would you know if I did or did not?
Nope- I was in the Canadian Military.Lol is that a serious question?
Ok, I'll bite....
What unit, deployment, mission were you attached to? Let me guess, you're an Airborne Ranger from the 75th?
Your apologism is noted. :lamo
Nope- I was in the Canadian Military.
I trained with you guys and did two large manpower studies in 4 Canadian bats. What unit were you in? Were you in the RCIC?
Served with 1 RCHA, 3rd Bn PPCLI. Base and field units. I was not always a REMF
When did you serve
Old timereace
Thanks - I like getting old. Waking up is a great way to start a day is what I usually say.
My lovely Bride and I got us 2 Grandchildren now, and they are the love of our life.
Make you 10 years younger.
Not sure if you recall this. Had friends on the ground when this happened. Knew and served with the Patricia snipers that you guys loved in AStan. They were dammed good at what they did.

As a veteran of service in peacetime (luckily), I fully understand the difference between both types of service, and any rational veteran would, and have nothing but the highest respect for your service, and sacrifice 11B....You are what makes this country as great as it is.
Yes.Anytime someone other than the enemy kills your soldiers, it's tough. The US has had plenty of deaths from friendly fire. Including the ANA killing us.
Yes.
So time to settle one thing- I am not a liar- I may forget things, misinterpret things, but i am not a man that is given to lying. My dad would beat the crap out of us for that. Then the Military it was not one thing that people ever forgot- once tagged as a liar, it was game over. So truth be told, being called one is rather upsetting for me.
I make mistakes, I man up and apologize, as I have done on this board.
if I misinterpret a post, get huffy on my part, I apologize.
If the member calls me on my intent, I look at that, as I am the only one who knows what my intent was- and yes I was taken to the woodshed by Cephus on that. Why- because of my intent- no one but myself would know my intent. Did I wiggle, play BS with him, nope. Not my way of doing things nor my way of living.
He was right, I was wrong. I stated as such to him.
So perhaps we shroud start fresh.
Over to you.
I do not apologize for standing up for what I think is right and opposing what is wrong.
Yes.

Isn't it a shame we have such a pathetic effeminate fool for a President? If only ISIS would declare they are members of a TEA Party the president would know what to do.
Yeah, we need another George Bush to take us into more war. Has it escaped you what continent the US is on, or are you just one more belligerent that thinks he's swinging the big one?
I suppose for some the best way out is an easy capitulation.Yeah, we need another George Bush to take us into more war. Has it escaped you what continent the US is on, or are you just one more belligerent that thinks he's swinging the big one?
