  1. The M2A2 version of the Bradley was uparmored to resist 30mm autocannons in the mid eighties.
  2. Those comics are NOT manuals. EVERYTHING the military does has an associated manual for it. Those "comics" merely contained hints on how to use the system better. My Army units would receive a box of them every few months, but we NEVER used them for training or maintenance. We would use the associated Technical or Field Manual.
  3. Happy New Year my friends! Slava Ukraine!
  4. I'm a little out of date here. But in the '80s and early '90s, no we didn't train on semi indirect fires. We always used direct fire on Table VIII, Which was our qualification firing range.
  5. I put him on Ignore as soon as I saw his User Name.
  6. What makes you think that? I'm on that thread everyday. I've seen some less than accurate remarks, But no sign of unintelligent remarks that aren't called out by other posters.
  7. The RU guys went to the US Dining Facility. As they entered they were required to clear their weapons. A few of them forgot to clear the round from their chambers, and accidently fired said round into the sand filled metal barrel provided for just that purpose. Doing so is frowned upon.
  8. Actually the same people who were attacking us in Iraq, were also blowing up gas stations full of civilians lined up waiting for gas, shooting up crowds of students waiting to sign up for school, and/or blowing up busloads of people heading out on a pilgrimage or the Hajj. So although they might be guerillas when they attacked Coalition forces. They were terrorists in every other sense of the word.
  9. What makes you think the Russians are going to advance "deep into Ukraine"? Their performance so far shows no evidence that Russia will advance more than a few hundred meters before the UA pushes them back.
  10. The election isn't for another year. There's NO guarantee Trump will win. He's not even the Republican candidate yet, AND he's still on trial. If he's convicted he can't even run for office.
  11. I did 20+ years in the US Army. I went to Desert Storm and did 2 tours in Iraq. You have no idea at all about our professionalism and our capabilities. You know even less about Americans and what we will or will not fight for. Drop this stupid argument, and let's get back on topic.
  12. If they are staying home while their nation is fighting for its life, and whining that Ukraine is losing this far into the war. They are cowards. Sorry, but that's the truth.
